33
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
34
As we know,
•it’s not the smartest people that are the
most successful or the most fulfilled in
life.
•You probably know people who are
academically brilliant and yet are socially
inept and unsuccessful at work or in their
personal relationships.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
35
Intellectual intelligence (IQ)
•isn’t enough on its own to be
successful in life.

37
Your performance at work.
•Emotional intelligence can help you navigate
the social complexities of the workplace, lead
and motivate others, and excel in your career.
•In fact, when it comes to gauging job
candidates, many companies now view
emotional intelligence as being as important as
technical ability and require EQ testing before
hiring.

Your physical health.
•If you’re unable to manage your stress levels, it
can lead to serious health problems.
•Uncontrolled stress can raise blood pressure,
suppress the immune system, increase the risk
of heart attack and stroke, contribute to
infertility, and speed up the aging process.
•The first step to improving emotional
intelligence is to learn how to relieve stress.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
40
Your mental health.
•Uncontrolled stress can also impact your
mental health, making you vulnerable to
anxiety and depression.
•If you are unable to understand and manage
your emotions, you’ll also be open to mood
swings, while an inability to form strong
relationships can leave you feeling lonely and
isolated.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com

Your relationships.
•By understanding your emotions and how to
control them, you’re better able to express
how you feel and understand how others are
feeling.

How to Improve Your Emotional Intelligence
• Observe how you react to people.
• Do you rush to judgment before you know all of the facts?
• Do you stereotype?
• Look honestly at how you think and interact with other people.
• Try to put yourself in their place Add to My Personal Learning Plan, and be more open and
accepting of their perspectives and needs.
• Look at your work environment.
• Do you seek attention for your accomplishments?
• Humility can be a wonderful quality, and it doesn't mean that you're shy or lack self-
confidence.
• When you practice humility, you say that you know what you did, and you can be quietly
confident about it.
• Give others a chance to shine – put the focus on them, and don't worry too much about
getting praise for yourself. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
43
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
• Interpersonal strategies
• Self-Regard
• Conduct a self-regard inventory with regards to your job performance.
• Write a list of your strengths and areas that need developing.
• Once you have pinpointed your areas of strength, fully leverage these areas in various job-
related situations.
• Make sure to use these skills consistently, not just with a certain group or in a particular
setting.
• People work best when they create personal goals for accomplishment.
• Individuals need to be able to recognize when their accomplishments at work (i.e., both
individually and collectively) have been met.
• Achieving success or meeting one’s goals are a prime determinant of feeling good about
oneself at work.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
45
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
• Set individual and team goals that are challenging yet readily
attainable. Make your goals specific, measurable, and action-
oriented.
• If your goals are not being met, break them down into smaller steps and create mini-goals.
This will help to determine which areas need greater scrutiny.
• Ensure that your goals are reviewed on a frequent basis, and
communicate to supervisors and managers the importance of setting
aside time to do this thoroughly.
• Use these reviews as opportunities to celebrate success, and to intervene early when goals
are not being met.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
46
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
• Find a qualified mentor who is able to teach you more about the
concept of self-regard.
• Spending time with someone with high self-regard will enable you to learn ways to leverage
this skill more effectively.
• Seek feedback on your performance from your supervisor on a
regular basis. Let him/her know what you are trying to work on.
• This way, your supervisor will know how to comment on your progress, as well as to supply
you with resources to improve you performance.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
47
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
Emotional self-awareness
• In order to deal with work conflict effectively, you must
be aware of stimuli that result in negative emotional
triggers.
• Before the emotion occurs, write down a list of skills you have at your
disposal that could be used in order to decrease the negative emotion.
• For example, if you are feeling anger towards a coworker, use your
empathy, problem solving, and reality testing skills to mitigate the issue.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
48
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
• What impact do emotions have on your decision making?
• Do you have a tendency to make decisions impulsively when under stress? When making
decisions, try to understand how emotions could be biasing your decision making
process. Don’t be afraid to ask yourself, “What am I feeling and why?” If negative
emotions are decreasing your ability to make effective decisions, remember to ask for
input
from relevant people before making the final decision.
• Get into a habit of asking others at work how they are feeling
about certain situations.
• Ask others regularly, “How they feel about a decision?” or “How they feel about the
team’s ability to communicate and share ideas?”
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
49
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
Assertiveness
• Conduct an assertiveness inventory with regard to your job
performance.
• Write down situations when you felt you asserted yourself effectively and situations when
you felt like you took either a more passive stand or an overly aggressive position. Once you
have written down the various situations, look to see if any patterns emerge. Try to
understand how and why your behaviors differ in various
situations and with different groups.
• Accepting and expressing all types of emotions are critical for job
success - not just happiness and joy but also anger and anxiety.
• Typically in a business environment people tend to be more reserved because they confuse
emotional expression with being unprofessional. From an EQ standpoint, individuals need to
communicate all emotions appropriately, even if it is emotionally difficult to do or if one has
something to lose by doing so.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
51
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
• Some people have trouble being assertive in face-to-face
communications at work.
• In order to improve in this area, prepare notes beforehand so that you can share ideas in an
organized and effective manner. Remember to study your notes before the interaction occurs
to become more familiar with the information you want to convey.
• If you are experiencing trouble asserting yourself in certain
situations, try visualizing yourself performing the skill to perfection.
• Picture yourself successfully asserting your opinions with colleagues and clients, while at the
same time enjoying the moment of the interaction.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
52
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
•Empathy
•One of the keys to empathy is active listening.
• Often when people talk to each other they do not listen
attentively and are often distracted or thinking about something
else.
• As an active listener, you should be able to repeat back in your
own words what you think the speaker has said.
• This does not mean that you agree with him/her, but rather that
you understand what he/she is saying. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
53
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
• Use on the job interactions as opportunities to practice your empathy
skills.
• In order to improve this skill at work, remember to listen attentively, send clear signals, and
convey openness and cooperation.
• To better understand the feelings of others, try to learn more about
them personally.
• Take time to find out who they are as individuals before finding out what activities they
perform at work. Understanding others is a key step to appropriate empathy.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
55
Simple strategies for EQ-i development
• Genuinely listen to others without any distractions.
• Listen to the emotional content in the words they use.
• Also, pay close attention to cues such as facial expressions, tone of voice,
and body posture.
• Practice your empathy skills in less threatening
environments (e.g., with friends or family).
• Get informal feedback and apply this information to situations that require
you to work in a group environment.

5 strategies to improve your EQ:
1. Pay more attention to your emotions on a daily basis.
• It’s hard to become more self-aware if you’re simply not
cognizant of the emotions that you’re experiencing on a daily
basis.
• Do you know how to identify feelings when they arise? Dare
present.
• Over time, you will discover key distinctions that will help you
become sharper and further develop your emotional
wheelhouse. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
58
5 strategies to improve your EQ:
• 2. Improve your non-verbal communication and become
sensitive to that of others.
• Professor Emeritus of Psychology at UCLA, Albert Merhabian,
notes that
• 55% of our communication is derived from body language, while
• 38% is para-linguistic (having to do with the way that you say
something: tone, pauses, pace, etc) and a mere
• 7% pertains to the actual words spoken.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
59
5 strategies to improve your EQ:
3. Practice empathy.
• The idea of empathy is often confused with sympathy. Unlike sympathy,
empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
• Stated differently, empathy is feeling with someone, while sympathy is
feeling for someone.
• We can establish a deeper connection with anyone by being thoughtful about
how we engage them, using our emotional dexterity.
• People know genuine empathy when they feel it—there’s no faking it. So, dig
deep.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
60
5 strategies to improve your EQ:
4. Exercise self-regulation.
• It’s so easy to be uninhibited in our behavior, especially
when it’s become a habit—quite a different proposition to
purposely regulate it.
• However, when the goal is to increase your EQ, self-
examination combined with self-regulation, is important.
Instead of submitting to your usual practices and
procedures, why not chart a new course, informed by
focused behavior that serves a higher purpose? 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
61
5 strategies to improve your EQ:
5. Sharpen your social skills.
• We are inherently social creatures.
• To say that the purpose of human interaction is to connect, is an
understatement.
• If we can’t really avoid being around others, wouldn’t it also follow that we
should make the most of each and every interaction?
• Practice listening, holding meaningful, engaging conversations, collaborating,
negotiating—and even executing common courtesies, whenever possible.
• You may think of these things as common-sense activities, but experience
teaches that common sense is hardly common.

How to raise your emotional
intelligence
• All information to the brain comes through our senses, and
when this information is overwhelmingly stressful or
emotional, instinct will take over and our ability to act will
be limited to the flight, fight, or freeze response.
• Therefore, to have access to the wide range of choices and
the ability to make good decisions, we need to be able to
bring our emotions into balance at will.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
64
Memory is also strongly linked
to emotion.
• By learning to stay connected to the emotional
part of your brain, as well as the rational,
• you’ll not only expand your range of choices
when it comes to responding to a new event, but
you’ll also factor emotional memory into your
decision-making process.
• This will help prevent you from continually
repeating earlier mistakes.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
65
To improve your emotional intelligence
•and your decision-making abilities—you
need to understand and manage your
emotions.
•This is accomplished by developing key
skills for controlling and managing
overwhelming stress and becoming an
effective communicator.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
66
Developing emotional intelligence
through a few key skills
•Emotional intelligence (EQ) is built by reducing
stress, remaining focused, and staying connected
to yourself and others.
•You can do this by learning key skills.
•The first two skills are essential for controlling
and managing overwhelming stress and the last
three skills greatly improve communication.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
67

• The ability to quickly reduce stress in the moment in a variety of
settings
• The ability to recognize your emotions and keep them from
overwhelming you
• The ability to connect emotionally with others by using nonverbal
communication

How to learn the key skills that
build emotional intelligence
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
70
The key skills of emotional intelligence
• can be learned by anyone, at any time.
• There is a difference, however, between learning about
emotional intelligence and applying that knowledge to
your life.
• Just because you know you should do something doesn’t
mean you will—especially when you become overwhelmed
by stress,
• which can hijack your best intentions.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
71
In order to permanently
change behavior
• in ways that stand up under pressure, you need
to learn how to overcome stress in the moment,
and in your relationships, by remaining
emotionally aware.
•This means that you can’t simply read about
emotional intelligence in order to master it.
•You have to experience and practice the skills in
your everyday life.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
73
Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 1:
Rapidly reduce stress in
the moment
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
74
High levels of stress
• can overwhelm the mind and body, getting in
the way of your ability to accurately “read” a
situation, hear what someone else is saying, be
aware of your own feelings and needs, and
communicate clearly.
• Being able to quickly calm yourself down and
relieve stress helps you stay balanced, focused,
and in control—no matter what challenges you
face or how stressful a situation becomes.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
76
Stress busting:
•functioning well in the
heat of the moment
•Develop your stress-busting
skills by working through the
following three steps:
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
77
Realize when you’re stressed –
• The first step to reducing stress is recognizing
what stress feels like.
• How does your body feel when you’re stressed?
• Are your muscles or stomach tight or sore?
• Are your hands clenched?
• Is your breath shallow?
• Being aware of your physical response to stress
will help regulate tension when it occurs.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
78
Identify your stress response –
• Everyone reacts differently to stress.
• If you tend to become angry or agitated under stress, you
will respond best to stress-relieving activities that quiet
you down.
• If you tend to become depressed or withdrawn, you will
respond best to stress-relieving activities that are
stimulating.
• If you tend to freeze—speeding up in some ways while
slowing down in others—you need stress-relieving
activities that provide both comfort and stimulation.3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
79
Discover the stress-busting
techniques that work for you –
• The best way to reduce stress quickly is by engaging one or more of
your senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
• Each person responds differently to sensory input, so you need to
find things that are soothing and/or energizing to you.
• For example, if you’re a visual person you can relieve stress by
surrounding yourself with uplifting images.
• If you respond more to sound, you may find a wind chime, a favorite
piece of music, or the sound of a water fountain helps to quickly
reduce your stress levels.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
80
Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 2:
Beat relationship stress
with emotional awareness
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
81
Being able to connect to your emotions—
•having a moment-to-moment
awareness of your emotions and how
they influence your thoughts and
actions—
•is the key to understanding yourself
and remaining calm and focused in
tense situations with others.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
83
Many people are disconnected
from their emotions—
• especially strong core emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, and joy.
• This may be the result of negative childhood experiences that taught
you to try to shut off your feelings.
• But although we can distort, deny, or numb our feelings, we can’t
eliminate them.
• They’re still there, whether we’re aware of them or not.
• Unfortunately, without emotional awareness, we are unable to fully
understand our own motivations and needs, or to communicate
effectively with others.
• We are also at far greater risk for becoming overwhelmed in
situations that appear threatening. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
84
What kind of a relationship do you
have with your emotions?
• Do you experience feelings that flow, encountering one emotion after another as your
experiences change from moment to moment?
• Are your emotions accompanied by physical sensations that you experience in places like your
stomach or chest?
• Do you experience discrete feelings and emotions, such as anger, sadness, fear, joy, each of
which is evident in subtle facial expressions?
• Can you experience intense feelings that are strong enough to capture both your attention and
that of others?
• Do you pay attention to your emotions? Do they factor into your decision making?
• If any of these experiences are unfamiliar, your emotions may be turned down or turned off. In
order to be emotionally healthy and emotionally intelligent, you must reconnect to your core
emotions, accept them, and become comfortable with them.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
85
Developing emotional awareness
• Emotional awareness can be learned at any time of life. If you
haven’t learned how to manage stress, it’s important to do so first.
• When you can manage stress, you’ll feel more comfortable
reconnecting to strong or unpleasant emotions and changing the
way you experience and respond to your feelings.
• You can develop your emotional awareness by learning the
mindfulness meditation in Helpguide’s free Emotional Intelligence
Toolkit that helps you to get in touch with difficult emotions and
manage uncomfortable feelings.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
86
Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 3:
Nonverbal communication
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
87
Being a good communicator
• requires more than just verbal skills and the ability to manage
stress.
• Often, what you say is less important than how you say it, or the
other nonverbal signals you send out—the gestures you make, the
way you sit, how fast or how loud you talk, how close you stand,
or how much eye contact you make.
• In order to hold the attention of others and build connection and
trust, you need to be aware of, and in control of, this body
language.
• You also need to be able to accurately read and respond to the
nonverbal cues that other people send you. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
89
These messages don’t stop when
someone stops speaking.
• Even when you’re silent, you’re still communicating
nonverbally.
• Think about what you are transmitting as well, and if what
you say matches what you feel.
• If you insist, “I’m fine," while clenching your teeth and
looking away, your body is clearly signaling the opposite.
• Your nonverbal messages can produce a sense of interest,
trust, excitement, and desire for connection—or they can
generate fear, confusion, distrust, and disinterest.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
90
Tips for improving nonverbal
communication
Successful nonverbal communication depends on your ability
to manage stress, recognize your own emotions, and
understand the signals you’re sending and receiving.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
91
When communicating:
• Focus on the other person.
• If you are planning what you’re going to say next, daydreaming, or thinking about something
else, you are almost certain to miss nonverbal cues and other subtleties in the conversation.
• Make eye contact.
• Eye contact can communicate interest, maintain the flow of a conversation, and help gauge
the other person’s response.
• Pay attention to nonverbal cues
• you’re sending and receiving, such as facial expression, tone of voice, posture and gestures,
touch, and the timing and pace of the conversation.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
92
Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 4:
Use humor and play to deal
with challenges
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
93
Humor, laughter, and play
•are natural antidotes to life’s
difficulties; they lighten your burdens
and help you keep things in
perspective.
•A good hearty laugh reduces stress,
elevates mood, and brings your
nervous system back into balance.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
94
Playful communication broadens your
emotional intelligence and helps you:
• Take hardships in stride.
• By allowing you to view your frustrations and disappointments from new
perspectives, laughter and play enable you to survive annoyances, hard times, and
setbacks.
• Smooth over differences.
• Using gentle humor often helps you say things that might be otherwise difficult to
express without creating a flap.
• Simultaneously relax and energize yourself.
• Playful communication relieves fatigue and relaxes your body, which allows you to
recharge and accomplish more.
• Become more creative.
• When you loosen up, you free yourself of rigid ways of thinking and being, allowing
you to get creative and see things in new ways. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
95
How to develop playful communication:
• It’s never too late to develop and embrace your playful,
humorous side.
• Try setting aside regular, quality playtime.
• The more you joke, play, and laugh—the easier it becomes.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 5:
Resolve conflict positively
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
97
Conflict and disagreements are
inevitable in relationships.
•Two people can’t possibly have the same needs,
opinions, and expectations at all times.
•However, that needn’t be a bad thing.
•Resolving conflict in healthy, constructive ways can
strengthen trust between people.
•When conflict isn’t perceived as threatening or
punishing, it fosters freedom, creativity, and
safety in relationships.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
99
The ability to manage conflicts
• in a positive, trust-building way is supported by
the previous four skills.
•Once you know how to manage stress, stay
emotionally present and aware, communicate
nonverbally, and use humor and play,
• you’ll be better equipped to handle emotionally
charged situations and catch and defuse many
issues before they escalate.
3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com

Tips for resolving conflict in a trust-
building way
• Stay focused in the present.
• When you are not holding on to old hurts and resentments, you
can recognize the reality of a current situation and view it as a
new opportunity for resolving old feelings about conflicts.
• Choose your arguments.
• Arguments take time and energy, especially if you want to resolve
them in a positive way. Consider what is worth arguing about and
what is not. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com
101
Tips for resolving conflict in a trust-
building way
• Forgive.
• Other people’s hurtful behavior is in the past. To resolve conflict,
you need to give up the urge to punish or seek revenge.
• End conflicts that can't be resolved.
• It takes two people to keep an argument going. You can choose to
disengage from a conflict, even if you still disagree.

Psyhcles

• All business change. They upgrade, downsize, form alliances and

ignoring be prepared!

  • 21. What is emotional intelligence? 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 22

  • 42. How to Improve Your Emotional Intelligence • Observe how you react to people. • Do you rush to judgment before you know all of the facts? • Do you stereotype? • Look honestly at how you think and interact with other people. • Try to put yourself in their place Add to My Personal Learning Plan, and be more open and accepting of their perspectives and needs. • Look at your work environment. • Do you seek attention for your accomplishments? • Humility can be a wonderful quality, and it doesn't mean that you're shy or lack self- confidence. • When you practice humility, you say that you know what you did, and you can be quietly confident about it. • Give others a chance to shine – put the focus on them, and don't worry too much about getting praise for yourself. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 43
  • 43.
  • 44. Simple strategies for EQ-i development • Interpersonal strategies • Self-Regard • Conduct a self-regard inventory with regards to your job performance. • Write a list of your strengths and areas that need developing. • Once you have pinpointed your areas of strength, fully leverage these areas in various job- related situations. • Make sure to use these skills consistently, not just with a certain group or in a particular setting. • People work best when they create personal goals for accomplishment. • Individuals need to be able to recognize when their accomplishments at work (i.e., both individually and collectively) have been met. • Achieving success or meeting one’s goals are a prime determinant of feeling good about oneself at work. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 45
  • 45. Simple strategies for EQ-i development • Set individual and team goals that are challenging yet readily attainable. Make your goals specific, measurable, and action- oriented. • If your goals are not being met, break them down into smaller steps and create mini-goals. This will help to determine which areas need greater scrutiny. • Ensure that your goals are reviewed on a frequent basis, and communicate to supervisors and managers the importance of setting aside time to do this thoroughly. • Use these reviews as opportunities to celebrate success, and to intervene early when goals are not being met. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 46
  • 46. Simple strategies for EQ-i development • Find a qualified mentor who is able to teach you more about the concept of self-regard. • Spending time with someone with high self-regard will enable you to learn ways to leverage this skill more effectively. • Seek feedback on your performance from your supervisor on a regular basis. Let him/her know what you are trying to work on. • This way, your supervisor will know how to comment on your progress, as well as to supply you with resources to improve you performance. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 47
  • 47. Simple strategies for EQ-i development Emotional self-awareness • In order to deal with work conflict effectively, you must be aware of stimuli that result in negative emotional triggers. • Before the emotion occurs, write down a list of skills you have at your disposal that could be used in order to decrease the negative emotion. • For example, if you are feeling anger towards a coworker, use your empathy, problem solving, and reality testing skills to mitigate the issue. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 48
  • 48. Simple strategies for EQ-i development • What impact do emotions have on your decision making? • Do you have a tendency to make decisions impulsively when under stress? When making decisions, try to understand how emotions could be biasing your decision making process. Don’t be afraid to ask yourself, “What am I feeling and why?” If negative emotions are decreasing your ability to make effective decisions, remember to ask for input from relevant people before making the final decision. • Get into a habit of asking others at work how they are feeling about certain situations. • Ask others regularly, “How they feel about a decision?” or “How they feel about the team’s ability to communicate and share ideas?” 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 49
  • 49.
  • 50. Simple strategies for EQ-i development Assertiveness • Conduct an assertiveness inventory with regard to your job performance. • Write down situations when you felt you asserted yourself effectively and situations when you felt like you took either a more passive stand or an overly aggressive position. Once you have written down the various situations, look to see if any patterns emerge. Try to understand how and why your behaviors differ in various situations and with different groups. • Accepting and expressing all types of emotions are critical for job success - not just happiness and joy but also anger and anxiety. • Typically in a business environment people tend to be more reserved because they confuse emotional expression with being unprofessional. From an EQ standpoint, individuals need to communicate all emotions appropriately, even if it is emotionally difficult to do or if one has something to lose by doing so. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 51
  • 51. Simple strategies for EQ-i development • Some people have trouble being assertive in face-to-face communications at work. • In order to improve in this area, prepare notes beforehand so that you can share ideas in an organized and effective manner. Remember to study your notes before the interaction occurs to become more familiar with the information you want to convey. • If you are experiencing trouble asserting yourself in certain situations, try visualizing yourself performing the skill to perfection. • Picture yourself successfully asserting your opinions with colleagues and clients, while at the same time enjoying the moment of the interaction. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 52
  • 52. Simple strategies for EQ-i development •Empathy •One of the keys to empathy is active listening. • Often when people talk to each other they do not listen attentively and are often distracted or thinking about something else. • As an active listener, you should be able to repeat back in your own words what you think the speaker has said. • This does not mean that you agree with him/her, but rather that you understand what he/she is saying. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 53
  • 53.
  • 54. Simple strategies for EQ-i development • Use on the job interactions as opportunities to practice your empathy skills. • In order to improve this skill at work, remember to listen attentively, send clear signals, and convey openness and cooperation. • To better understand the feelings of others, try to learn more about them personally. • Take time to find out who they are as individuals before finding out what activities they perform at work. Understanding others is a key step to appropriate empathy. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 55
  • 55. Simple strategies for EQ-i development • Genuinely listen to others without any distractions. • Listen to the emotional content in the words they use. • Also, pay close attention to cues such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body posture. • Practice your empathy skills in less threatening environments (e.g., with friends or family). • Get informal feedback and apply this information to situations that require you to work in a group environment. • See complete list here: https://www.brookes.ac.uk/services/ocsld/career- dev/identity/development_strategies.html 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 56
  • 56.
  • 57. 5 strategies to improve your EQ: 1. Pay more attention to your emotions on a daily basis. • It’s hard to become more self-aware if you’re simply not cognizant of the emotions that you’re experiencing on a daily basis. • Do you know how to identify feelings when they arise? Dare present. • Over time, you will discover key distinctions that will help you become sharper and further develop your emotional wheelhouse. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 58
  • 58. 5 strategies to improve your EQ: • 2. Improve your non-verbal communication and become sensitive to that of others. • Professor Emeritus of Psychology at UCLA, Albert Merhabian, notes that • 55% of our communication is derived from body language, while • 38% is para-linguistic (having to do with the way that you say something: tone, pauses, pace, etc) and a mere • 7% pertains to the actual words spoken. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 59
  • 59. 5 strategies to improve your EQ: 3. Practice empathy. • The idea of empathy is often confused with sympathy. Unlike sympathy, empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. • Stated differently, empathy is feeling with someone, while sympathy is feeling for someone. • We can establish a deeper connection with anyone by being thoughtful about how we engage them, using our emotional dexterity. • People know genuine empathy when they feel it—there’s no faking it. So, dig deep. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 60
  • 60. 5 strategies to improve your EQ: 4. Exercise self-regulation. • It’s so easy to be uninhibited in our behavior, especially when it’s become a habit—quite a different proposition to purposely regulate it. • However, when the goal is to increase your EQ, self- examination combined with self-regulation, is important. Instead of submitting to your usual practices and procedures, why not chart a new course, informed by focused behavior that serves a higher purpose? 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 61
  • 61. 5 strategies to improve your EQ: 5. Sharpen your social skills. • We are inherently social creatures. • To say that the purpose of human interaction is to connect, is an understatement. • If we can’t really avoid being around others, wouldn’t it also follow that we should make the most of each and every interaction? • Practice listening, holding meaningful, engaging conversations, collaborating, negotiating—and even executing common courtesies, whenever possible. • You may think of these things as common-sense activities, but experience teaches that common sense is hardly common. • http://www.blackenterprise.com/career/5-strategies-for-building-your-emotional-intelligence/ 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 62
  • 62.
  • 63. How to raise your emotional intelligence • All information to the brain comes through our senses, and when this information is overwhelmingly stressful or emotional, instinct will take over and our ability to act will be limited to the flight, fight, or freeze response. • Therefore, to have access to the wide range of choices and the ability to make good decisions, we need to be able to bring our emotions into balance at will. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 64
  • 64. Memory is also strongly linked to emotion. • By learning to stay connected to the emotional part of your brain, as well as the rational, • you’ll not only expand your range of choices when it comes to responding to a new event, but you’ll also factor emotional memory into your decision-making process. • This will help prevent you from continually repeating earlier mistakes. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 65
  • 65. To improve your emotional intelligence •and your decision-making abilities—you need to understand and manage your emotions. •This is accomplished by developing key skills for controlling and managing overwhelming stress and becoming an effective communicator. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 66
  • 66. Developing emotional intelligence through a few key skills •Emotional intelligence (EQ) is built by reducing stress, remaining focused, and staying connected to yourself and others. •You can do this by learning key skills. •The first two skills are essential for controlling and managing overwhelming stress and the last three skills greatly improve communication. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 67
  • 67.
  • 68. Each skill builds earlier skills: • The ability to quickly reduce stress in the moment in a variety of settings • The ability to recognize your emotions and keep them from overwhelming you • The ability to connect emotionally with others by using nonverbal communication • The ability to use humor and play to stay connected in challenging situations • The ability to resolve conflicts positively and with confidence 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 69
  • 69. How to learn the key skills that build emotional intelligence 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 70
  • 70. The key skills of emotional intelligence • can be learned by anyone, at any time. • There is a difference, however, between learning about emotional intelligence and applying that knowledge to your life. • Just because you know you should do something doesn’t mean you will—especially when you become overwhelmed by stress, • which can hijack your best intentions. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 71
  • 71.
  • 72. In order to permanently change behavior • in ways that stand up under pressure, you need to learn how to overcome stress in the moment, and in your relationships, by remaining emotionally aware. •This means that you can’t simply read about emotional intelligence in order to master it. •You have to experience and practice the skills in your everyday life. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 73
  • 73. Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 1: Rapidly reduce stress in the moment 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 74
  • 74.
  • 75. High levels of stress • can overwhelm the mind and body, getting in the way of your ability to accurately “read” a situation, hear what someone else is saying, be aware of your own feelings and needs, and communicate clearly. • Being able to quickly calm yourself down and relieve stress helps you stay balanced, focused, and in control—no matter what challenges you face or how stressful a situation becomes. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 76
  • 76. Stress busting: •functioning well in the heat of the moment •Develop your stress-busting skills by working through the following three steps: 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 77
  • 77. Realize when you’re stressed – • The first step to reducing stress is recognizing what stress feels like. • How does your body feel when you’re stressed? • Are your muscles or stomach tight or sore? • Are your hands clenched? • Is your breath shallow? • Being aware of your physical response to stress will help regulate tension when it occurs. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 78
  • 78. Identify your stress response – • Everyone reacts differently to stress. • If you tend to become angry or agitated under stress, you will respond best to stress-relieving activities that quiet you down. • If you tend to become depressed or withdrawn, you will respond best to stress-relieving activities that are stimulating. • If you tend to freeze—speeding up in some ways while slowing down in others—you need stress-relieving activities that provide both comfort and stimulation.3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 79
  • 79. Discover the stress-busting techniques that work for you – • The best way to reduce stress quickly is by engaging one or more of your senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. • Each person responds differently to sensory input, so you need to find things that are soothing and/or energizing to you. • For example, if you’re a visual person you can relieve stress by surrounding yourself with uplifting images. • If you respond more to sound, you may find a wind chime, a favorite piece of music, or the sound of a water fountain helps to quickly reduce your stress levels. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 80
  • 80. Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 2: Beat relationship stress with emotional awareness 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 81
  • 81.
  • 82. Being able to connect to your emotions— •having a moment-to-moment awareness of your emotions and how they influence your thoughts and actions— •is the key to understanding yourself and remaining calm and focused in tense situations with others. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 83
  • 83. Many people are disconnected from their emotions— • especially strong core emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, and joy. • This may be the result of negative childhood experiences that taught you to try to shut off your feelings. • But although we can distort, deny, or numb our feelings, we can’t eliminate them. • They’re still there, whether we’re aware of them or not. • Unfortunately, without emotional awareness, we are unable to fully understand our own motivations and needs, or to communicate effectively with others. • We are also at far greater risk for becoming overwhelmed in situations that appear threatening. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 84
  • 84. What kind of a relationship do you have with your emotions? • Do you experience feelings that flow, encountering one emotion after another as your experiences change from moment to moment? • Are your emotions accompanied by physical sensations that you experience in places like your stomach or chest? • Do you experience discrete feelings and emotions, such as anger, sadness, fear, joy, each of which is evident in subtle facial expressions? • Can you experience intense feelings that are strong enough to capture both your attention and that of others? • Do you pay attention to your emotions? Do they factor into your decision making? • If any of these experiences are unfamiliar, your emotions may be turned down or turned off. In order to be emotionally healthy and emotionally intelligent, you must reconnect to your core emotions, accept them, and become comfortable with them. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 85
  • 85. Developing emotional awareness • Emotional awareness can be learned at any time of life. If you haven’t learned how to manage stress, it’s important to do so first. • When you can manage stress, you’ll feel more comfortable reconnecting to strong or unpleasant emotions and changing the way you experience and respond to your feelings. • You can develop your emotional awareness by learning the mindfulness meditation in Helpguide’s free Emotional Intelligence Toolkit that helps you to get in touch with difficult emotions and manage uncomfortable feelings. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 86
  • 86. Emotional intelligence (EQ) skill 3: Nonverbal communication 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 87
  • 87.
  • 88. Being a good communicator • requires more than just verbal skills and the ability to manage stress. • Often, what you say is less important than how you say it, or the other nonverbal signals you send out—the gestures you make, the way you sit, how fast or how loud you talk, how close you stand, or how much eye contact you make. • In order to hold the attention of others and build connection and trust, you need to be aware of, and in control of, this body language. • You also need to be able to accurately read and respond to the nonverbal cues that other people send you. 3/23/2016www.LTSemaj.com 89
