Emotional intelligence
What is it?
E I is the way in which you "read" people and (hopefully) act accordingly. It is the way you identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others.
"Do you have to be a top student to have "good" Emotional Intelligence?"
No, you just have to have the ability to perceive, understand and manage emotions-yours and others.
Consider this IMPORTANT BENEFIT of mastering
Emotional Intelligence...
"Charismatic individuals are effective communicators who communicate emotions very well".
"Can you give me some examples of Emotional Intelligence?"
Problem-
The bookworm in the class annoys everyone-including the teacher... Problem-
The Student Senate Treasurer vetoes every budget item before Q & A starts...
Problem-
The really quiet kid gets the worst study session every week because he doesn't want to make "waves".
SOLUTION-
These students need to learn some Ei. Armed with this knowledge, these problems won't exist anymore.
"I always say and do the wrong thing when I'm hanging out with other kids. Can you help me?"
Absolutely! Understanding your "audience" is one of the most important techniques to master.
E I is not simply learning about having charisma, friendliness and basic social skills, but knowing when and how to use those skills.
