In previous blogs, we have looked at EQ in many ways, especially as it relates to healthy and happy relationships- both at work and at home.  Researchers have confirmed what Human Resource professionals have known for quite some time.  One’s level of emotional intelligence is a great predictor of success at work as well as a measurement of healthy and productive relationships and leadership abilities.

EQ is not touchy-feely or happy-go-lucky “stuff”.   EQ is about healthy and productive relationships.  And healthy and productive relationships mean better customer service, improved employee relations, and better company profits.

We become like the people we spend time with.   It’s the age-old truth that we our parents drilled into us and we, in turn, attempted to drill into our own children.  We must hang around the right “reference group” in order to stay on the right track.

As corporate and community leaders, it is important to refer back to this sage advice.  A good business associate will tell you when you are about to walk into the lion’s den or when you are about to walk off of a cliff.  And the good news is that you don’t have to hold regularly scheduled meetings of everyone.  This board you put together exists not on paper but exists in friendships, phone calls, and lunch meetings.

You should have a trusted friend in each area of your professional and personal life.  Some examples: Continue reading ‘Do You Have Your Own Personal Board of Directors?’ »

In previous blogs, we have looked at EQ in many ways, especially as it relates to healthy and happy relationships- both at work and at home.  Most of Emotional Intelligence is based on Self-Knowledge and Self-Regulation.   These two strengths are the building blocks of EQ.

Researchers have confirmed what Human Resource professionals have known for quite some time.  One’s level of emotional intelligence is a great predictor of success at work as well as a measurement of healthy and productive relationships and leadership abilities.

Research has also shown that EQ is the second most important factor in job performance, only behind cognitive intelligence.

Recent research from the University of Haifa reported that employees who have high levels of emotional intelligence are not only more dedicated at work, but also have a higher satisfaction level. The study also proved what business owners and Human Resource managers have always known… employees with higher levels of emotional intelligence are assets to the organization.

“I believe it will not be long before emotional intelligence is incorporated in employee screening and training processes and in employee assessment and promotion decisions.” – Dr. Galit Meisler Continue reading ‘EQ – Emotional Intelligence Assessment’ »

Greater Emotional Intelligence (EQ) enhances one’s life immensely. Our bodies and minds are energy systems. Have you ever walked into a room of people and felt hostility immediately? That’s energy. Have you been in the presence of someone who immediately makes you feel a strong sense of peace and serenity? That is energy. Have you walked into an empty room and felt peace? That’s lingering energy. What about an empty room that feels hostile? That is also lingering energy.

Let’s define EQ. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand emotions, particularly one’s own emotions. “Know thyself”, proclaims the ancient Greek aphorism. Self-awareness and self-regulation are the first two tenets of EQ.

Some of the benefits of Higher Emotional Intelligence: Continue reading ‘What Can Enhanced Leadership Energy Do For You?’ »
