WARNING....YOU SHOULD KNOW...

Emotional intelligence does not involve being overly emotional, sympathetic, or weak.

On the contrary, it means being fully self-aware, accountable and assertive in your actions. It also involves being aware of other’s emotions and what is driving them.

This presentation is for innovative thinkers, leaders, and people who want to be accountable for their own success.

So what is emotional

intelligence or EQ (Emotional

Quotient)?


A brief historystay with me for a moment.


Emotional Intelligence was developed when scientists discovered their standard intelligence (IQ) measurements

were lacking in some areas.


In1983 the primacy of logic and reason is challenged by Harvard professor, Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences.


Followed by Wayne Leon Payne’s 1985 doctoral paper which introduced the idea that emotions

could be used intelligently.


In 1990, Salovey & Mayer reported this definition:“Emotional Intelligence,the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions”

Finally, Daniel Goleman’s 4 quadrants of EQ. “Emotional Intelligence”- 1995


Simple enough right?



Ok, let’s simplify.


The foundation of Emotional Intelligence is Self-Awareness.


To become self-aware you need to acknowledge your feelings, your reactions, and how often you are being 100% accountable

for you.


How is your emotional intelligence affecting your personal & professional life?


How often are you reacting rather then

responding?


So what’s in it for you?


Increased leadership abilities.


Better personal and professional relationships.


A more accountable and in control you.


Are you ready to increase self-awareness and emotional intelligence?


Begin with self-awareness.When you are feeling bad, find out why?

Question your perspectives and judgements.Look at facts, not emotional opinions.


Pay attention to times when

you are reacting.

Why are you reacting? Are you tired, hungry, or of the belief that your perspective is

the only one?


Understand that excellent self-care is key.

Make sure you get rest, relieve stress, exercise, have fun, etc.
