What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is an important component of how we show up in life, interact with others and manage the inevitable challenges life brings us.
Studies show that EQi (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) is a much better predictor of success in the workplace than IQ (Intelligence Quotient). Unlike IQ, which is relatively fixed at an early age, EQ can be developed, and with intention, increases as we mature.
Multi-Health Systems, Inc. defines Emotional Intelligence in the following way.
“Emotional Intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.”
How Do We Deepen
Self-Awareness?
Self-Awareness is foundational in how we live our lives. Including how we understand and feel about ourselves, how we show up, how we interact with others, how we perform in teams and how we lead.
There is not (unfortunately) a book, an article or a “How to” video online that will make you self-aware and it is not a task on a checklist. Self-awareness is an intentional lifelong exciting journey. As you explore deeper you discover how much more there is to discover.
Self-awareness is not only exploring who we are, but understanding we are different from others. As a result we learn to accept and respect what makes each of us unique in our relationships, both personally and professionally.
