Unleash Your Emotional Intelligence. Stand out from the pack.
What's stopping you from maximizing your emotional intelligence?
personal insight? skills training? support? accountability?
You’d have to be living under a rock to be unaware of how important emotional intelligence (EQ) is. There’s virtually no area where improving EQ doesn’t improve results in some way.
EQ helps you understand yourself and others.
EQ forges more collaborative relationships.
EQ is a big part of increasing your overall sense of happiness and well-being.
EQ helps you dodge stress and conquer indecision.
Are those outcomes appealing? Would they make a difference in your life?
What EQ Skills Make Possible
- Improve interactions with a difficult co-worker, client, boss, relative, significant other, friend, etc. (The possibilities are endless.) Even if you’re the only one who changes.
- Avoid impulsively saying or doing things you’ll regret. From losing it in a meeting to firing off an email while furious. And from blurting out something insensitive to eating an entire sleeve of Thin Mints. Impulse control comes in quite handy.
- Be adaptable and resilient when work and life throw you curve balls. Unexpected things happening isn’t the exception. It’s the rule.
- Stay cool in tough situations when others might be emotional. Problem-solve without getting sucked into the drama.
- Express emotions comfortably rather than stuffing or avoiding them.
- Have the purpose, energy and focus to reach goals you set out to achieve
- Build relationships rooted in trust and compassion
And These, Too
- Recognize, understand and respect how other people feel or how they experience a situation.
- Remain objective. See things how they really are, rather than only from your perspective.
- Confidently make decisions – including the tough ones.
- Break free from the need for approval.
- Identify what you’re feeling (you’re more than happy, sad, or angry) and why so you can approach the situation in a productive way.
- Respect yourself and your needs – while aware of your strength and weaknesses. Exude the self-confidence you feel.
EQ skills development is even more impactful when the training is preceded by the ability to recognize and proactively influence one’s own thinking patterns.
