For most
people, emotional intelligence (EQ) is more important than one’s intelligence
(IQ) in attaining success in their lives and careers. As individuals our
success and the success of the profession today depend on our ability to read
other people’s signals and react appropriately to them.
Therefore,
each one of us must develop the mature emotional intelligence skills required
to better understand, empathize and negotiate with other people — particularly
as the economy has become more global. Otherwise, success will elude us in our
lives and careers.

I
have slightly above average of EQ. I am likely sensitive to the emotional climate of
the people around me are under pressure. I can aware of the effect my behavior
has on others. Don’t be afraid to honestly communicate these difficult
needs and feelings. This is one of the mist important aspects of Emotional
Intelligence.

Things
to consider for myself:
·
What
situations generally create pressure and stress for me?
·
How
am I handling these situations?
·
What
negative thoughts play over and over in my mind on a regular basis?
·
Are
these a true picture of reality?
·
When
I triggered emotionally, what are some of your less effective default
behaviors?
If I
can learn to be more aware of when emotions are driving my behavior and stay
calm in my high pressure moments, I will see a big increase in my
Emotional Intelligence, which will lead to increased performance
and more effective relationships – at work and at home!
