Capo has had an active hand at shaping the careers of numerous artists & entrepreneurs with his marketing agency “IMS Marketing”.

Many kids nowadays get all prepared whilst in school for making their careers, they plan everything since the beginning & adjust accordingly for the same, some of them even achieve the life of their dreams by working towards it slowly & steadily. It is when they grow up that they make the final choices of their careers based on their academic scores & also their areas of interest. While some others only run behind excelling at what they do & have a very clear vision in mind even as a kid as to what they wish to become in the future. Their life choices do not depend on the scores they attain in life, but on the will & the desire to achieve what they want to. A dynamic young entrepreneur we know about comes in the latter category & he is Steve “Capo” Newland who originally comes from Willingboro New Jersey but lovingly calls Atlanta his home.

Capo’s career has been spread across three different fields but what sets him apart from others is that he has drawn his life learning all the experiences he got along the journey & reached the top in his career. Capo started the journey of his career in 2005 by being a part of the Air Force of the United States as an active duty military member. After rendering his services in the Air Force, Capo’s life took a 360 degree turn when he jumped into the field of music. It was in 2006 that Capo started working for a Private Club Records in Tokyo, Japan where he became a mentor & a key member of the company & also their flagship artists & the popular brother rap duo 24Hours & Madeintyo (Made in Tokyo).

With working for the record label, Capo helped shape the career of many artists associated with the label which included names like “Lil Scrappy”, “Rich The Kid”, “Speaker Knockerz” amongst many other names. Capo entirely credits his cousin “Halim Rice” for making him debut in the music world. Halim is also a label executive & manages popular rappers like “G-Unit Records” & “50-Cent”. According to Capo, it was Halim who taught him the basics & other related knowledge of the music industry. Along with being a mentor to artists, Capo also jumped into the co-ordination & tour management work of many international tours & events. This gave him the opportunity to work with many other big names of the music industry like “Juicy J”, “24Hrs”, “Waka Flocka”, “The Game”, “Asap Mobb” & “Lil Jon”.

With gaining rich experiences by working tirelessly for the music industry, Capo in 2017 launched his marketing agency named “IMS MARKETING” which soon made him one of the top digital marketers of Las Vegas. Today, Capo has made his name synonym to the world of social media. His agency became a part of the social media promotion teams for “Pop Eye’s Chicken Sandwich” fiasco in 2019, & this made him & his agency even more famous. Capo is ahead in his game for bringing in top-most products & also offers entertainment to millions of social media users.

His agency IMS Marketing has broken all records & possesses a clientele that includes the biggest names in different industries right from celebs, musicians, artists, entertainers to businesses & companies, etc. across the globe. Today the agency handles the social media accounts of a rich list of over 10,000 clients. Capo & his company both are confident of the work they offer & ensure that their clients can rely on them entirely for their public awareness & social media campaigns.

Capo is also looking forward to build his new marketing firm along with his business partners Kyle Treadwell and Pierre Balian in 2020. This new firm will boost Capo’s social media dominance further & the operations of the new firm will be taken care of in their new home office based in Las Vegas.

The Ultimate Guide to the Essential Social Skills in Business

on

Effective communication and strong relationships are essential for success in the workplace. One factor that can greatly influence these qualities is emotional intelligence, often abbreviated as EQ. EQ refers to the ability to identify, understand, and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. Research has shown that individuals with high levels of EQ are better equipped to handle stress, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively with others (Chamorro-Premuzic & Sanger, 2016).

Research has consistently shown that emotional intelligence (EQ) is an important predictor of job performance and success in the workplace. EQ is comprised of a set of skills that allow individuals to recognize, understand, and regulate their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. In addition, individuals with high EQ are better able to communicate effectively, build relationships, and navigate complex social situations. As a result, they are often viewed as effective leaders and collaborators, and are more likely to achieve their personal and professional goals.

In fact, a number of studies have demonstrated the significant impact that EQ has on job performance and success. For example, one study of 85 upper-level managers found that those with higher EQ scores were rated as more effective leaders by their subordinates (Law, Wong, & Song, 2004). Another study of 151 employees found that those with higher EQ were more likely to be promoted within their organization over a five-year period (Carmeli, Brueller, & Dutton, 2009). These findings highlight the importance of EQ in the workplace and suggest that developing these skills can lead to significant benefits for both individuals and organizations.

According to a study conducted by TalentSmart, a leading provider of EQ assessments, EQ is responsible for 58% of success in all job types (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). In contrast, IQ only accounts for about 4% of success in the workplace. This suggests that EQ is a crucial skill set for individuals in any professional field. Fortunately, EQ is a skill that can be developed and honed over time with practice and awareness.

There are several key components of EQ that are particularly important for success in the workplace. These include: 

Self-Regulation: This refers to your capacity to recognize and control your emotions. Sometimes treating them when they arise may be necessary. Understanding how to manage your anger is essential. However, it can also cover how to control the feelings you’ll experience.

Self-Awareness: This implies recognizing and understanding your own feelings. Do noisy places make you nervous? Do other people talking over you make you angry? Knowing these truths about yourself shows that you are working on your self-awareness. Being conscious of yourself is necessary for this phase, which can be more complex than it sounds.

Socialization: This category focuses on your capacity to manage social interactions and direct relationships. It doesn’t entail dominating others but knowing how to work with others to achieve your goals. This could entail presenting your ideas to coworkers, leading a team, or resolving a personal disagreement.

Motivation: Strong motivators include external forces like money, status, or suffering. Internal motivation, however, plays a significant role in Goleman’s concept. By doing so, you demonstrate your ability to control your cause and initiate or continue initiatives of your own volition rather than in response to external demands.

Empathy: It’s equally critical to be sensitive to others’ feelings. This may entail learning to identify different emotional states in individuals — for example, can you tell the difference between someone at ease and someone anxious? — but it also requires comprehension of how other people may react to their current situation. Empathy is one of the essential traits in business and business leadership.

A thought leader in this space, Michael Ventura has built a career advising organizations on the importance of emotional intelligence in the workplace. In his book, Applied Empathy, Ventura highlights the value of empathy in business and provides strategies for developing and applying this skill set. With two decades of experience as a leader, facilitator, and educator, Ventura’s work has made impact in with prestigious institutions such as Princeton University and the United Nations as well as corporate clients such as Google and Nike.

Through his work, Ventura advises leaders to focus on the development of EQ in order to help individuals improve their communication, collaboration, and leadership skills, ultimately leading to greater success in the workplace. Experts like Ventura continue to support the growing body of research on the value of EQ in business, and the evidence that organizations who invest in the EQ of their teams help to create a more empathetic and successful professional environment.

And it’s worth noting that EQ isn’t just important for individual success in the workplace, but also for overall organizational success. A study by the Center for Creative Leadership found that EQ was a better predictor of success than IQ or technical skills in the workplace, and that teams with higher levels of EQ tend to be more effective and productive (Boyatzis, Goleman, & Rhee, 1999). By cultivating a culture of empathy and emotional intelligence, organizations can improve their overall performance and create a more positive work environment for their employees.

In conclusion, emotional intelligence is a crucial component of success in the workplace, and individuals and organizations alike should prioritize the development of these skills. The ones that do not only develop a leading edge in their category, but also become a meaningful place to work for their teams. And in today’s rapidly changing talent landscape, the retention of highly capable, emotionally intelligent leaders is one of the greatest keys to unlocking success.
