Developing Your Emotional Intelligence

Self development, self improvement

Emotions are constantly involved in your interactions with other people,

whether you are aware of them or not !

•  They also play an important role in your decisions in everyday life and work.
•  Emotional awareness allows you to know how you are feeling and why. 
• This in turn allows you to express yourself more effectively, as you understand how others see you.

Countless studies show that strong emotional intelligence can lead to strong performance and better success in life.

• Emotional intelligence allows you to empathize with others
• But, you can do this with good knowledge of non-verbal signals.
• Emotional intelligence can help you to respond to people more appropriately rather than just reacting to them.

For example,  

• Your colleague is very angry at you. You have a choice to react,

1. Become defensive and potentially shout back. This can only exacerbate the situation and will do little for your relationship in future. You may win the battle, but you will certainly lose the war as your relationship can be affected and you may both feel that you will never want to work with each other again.
2. But if you conceal your emotions and display a cordial signs on your face it can ashamed him to review his behavior for more cordial relationship in future.
