10. Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Intelligence (IQ) &
Personality Are Not Connected.
The 3 do not go together.
EI - your behavior
IQ – how quickly u absorb new information
Personality - style with which you approach
11. Emotional Intelligence…
Emotional Intelligence is the ability of an individual
1. to deal successfully with other people ,
2. to manage one’s self,
3. motivate other people,
4. understand one's own feelings and
5. appropriately respond to the everyday environment.
EI was developed when scientists discovered their
standard intelligence (IQ) measurements were lacking in
some areas.
12. Emotional Intelligence…
EI in the workplace is the ability of employees to
recognize:
Their own feelings
The feelings of others
What motivates them
How to manage their emotions, both in themselves and
in relationships with others
14. Basic Emotions hard wired & physiologically
distinct:
JOY
SURPRISE
SADNESS
ANGER
DISGUST
FEAR
15. Need for EI
Daniel Goleman, who popularized the concept of
Emotional Intelligence, believes that Intelligent
Quotient (IQ) accounts for 20% success in a person’s
life, whereas most of the remaining 80% factors are
based on Emotional Intelligence (EI).
It influences day-to-day problem solving behavior in
schools, community centers, business houses and
organizations.
16. Need for EI
At individual level, it predicts communication skills,
mortality, leadership, problem solving and aesthetics.
Emotional Intelligence is very important for managers
as it is one of the important deciding factor for
relationship management resulting in motivation,
retention , self management & managing others.
17. EI is balance between the Rational & Emotional
brain
Your brain is hard-wired to give emotions
the upper hand. The limbic system (the
emotional brain) reacts to events first
before we have the opportunity to
engage the rational brain.
The communication between these two
areas of the brain is the very definition
of emotional intelligence. EQ requires
effective communication between the
rational and emotional centers of the
brain.
19. EI Skills
Self-Awareness is how accurately you can identify your emotions
in the moment and understand your tendencies across time and
situation.
Self-Management is how you use awareness of your emotions to
create the behavior that you want.
Social Awareness is how well you read the emotions of other
people.
Relationship Management is how you use the first three emotional
intelligence skills to manage your interactions with other people.
20. EI Skills
Emotional intelligence is critical to managing your behavior,
moving smoothly through social situations, and making
critical choices in life.
There are four emotional intelligence skills and they group
under two primary competencies: personal competence and
social competence.
21. EI - Self-awareness
Self-awareness is the ability to see ourselves with our own
eyes, to be aware of our internal states, preferences,
resources & intuitions…
1. Emotional Awareness
2. Accurate Self Assessment
3. Self Confidence
22. EI - Self-awareness
How can you begin to identify the filters (hot buttons)
that trigger your emotions, and use this information
positively to change events and achieve more positive
outcome?
You can identify your own emotional responses by:
Tuning into your senses
Getting in touch with your feelings
Knowing your goals
23. EI - Self-management
Managing our emotions effectively involves controlling
those unproductive behaviors that really don’t get us
anywhere.
By understanding the link between your interpretation
of an event and your responses to it, you can choose an
alternative way to feel. This is a key EI capability.
25. EI – Social awareness
Social awareness is…
Reading emotions/ Awareness of others’ feelings,
thoughts & concerns
•Understanding others
•Listening
26. EI – Relationship management
It is the adeptness at inducing desirable responses in
others.
1. Influence
2. Communication
3. Conflict management
4. Leadership
5. Collaboration & cooperation
6. Change catalyst
30. EI at WORK…
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.

Objectives
Emotional literacy Recognition of shared experiences
Materials
3 x 5 index cards (approximately 100)
Preparation
Before the class begins, draw a "feeling continuum" on the chalkboard.Example:Angry - Upset - Sad - Calm - Indifferent - Bored - Happy - Excited
Beginning
When the students come in, ask them, "How do you feel? How are you feeling today?" If they respond without detail (e.g., "fine"), discuss why that happens. Ask them why people greet one another with "how are you feeling?" and answer "fine" even when they are not fine?
Affective Experience
Ask students to indicate how they feel right now (present feeling state) by putting initials under those feeling words on the board. Have them add any word that better describes their feelings.
Invite students to set a goal of how they would like to be feeling in 1 hour. Discuss how to get from the present feeling to the goal.
Ask discussion questions that focus on feelings.
Cognitive Inquiry
1. "What did we just do?" (Become aware of feelings.)
2. "Are feelings easy or hard to talk about? What makes it hard to talk about them?"
3. "How do you know when you're feeling a feeling? Can you stop or change your feelings? Increase your feelings?"
4. "What are some lessons from today? Where else could you use them?“
Follow-Up
Brainstorm feelings -- all the words the class can think of. Ask for volunteers to write the words on the board. Ask for other volunteers to write feeling words on 3 x 5 cards, one word to a card. Explain that for the next few lessons we will be collecting feeling words and making experiment cards.
Help the brainstorming by suggesting categories of feelings (i.e., good feelings, bad feelings, loving feelings, and neutral feelings). Teachers should add some complex words (e.g., embarrassed, content, indifferent).
Do not expect a long list at first. The list will grow with awareness and time.
Start of with what is Intelligence, types & so on…
Use multiple points, if necessary.

EI is about:
Knowing how you and others feel and what to do about it.
Knowing what feels good and what feels bad and how to get from bad to good.
Possessing emotional awareness, sensitivity and the management skills that will help us to maximize our long-term happiness and survival.
Use brief bullets and discuss details verbally.

“Plasticity” is the term used to describe the brain's ability to grow new connections between neurons that facilitates the use of new behaviors. Your brain loves efficiency: the skills you practice are the skills your brain will make it easier for you to repeat. When you work to increase your EQ, the billions of microscopic neurons lining the road between the rational and emotional centers of your brain branch off small “arms” to communicate with the cells around them. A single cell can grow upwards of 10,000 connections to the cells around it.
Your brain is hard-wired to give emotions the upper hand. The limbic system (the emotional brain) reacts to events first before we have the opportunity to engage the rational brain. The communication between these two areas of the brain is the very definition of emotional intelligence. EQ requires effective communication between the rational and emotional centers of the brain.
SELF-AWARENESS:
Often, some of our inner drives are hidden from our consciousness. Emotional intelligence enables us to access this information by helping us to tune into our responses and identify our hot buttons – those core beliefs and values – which, if pressed, evoke the flight or fight response, trigger an motion and propel us into action, for good or bad!
Emotional Awareness – Recognising one’s emotions & their effects.
Accurate Self Assessment – Knowing one’s strengths & limits.
Self Confidence – A strong sense of one’s self-worth & capabilities.
Tuning into your senses…
This means paying attention to what you see and hear and not what you think you see and hear. Your beliefs, values, drivers and rules act as filters, distorting and deleting what otherwise might be important information.
For example, going back to the scenario with your boss, did she actually pick up on a minor error or was that just your perception? What information did you use to make this appraisal: how she looked or something she did or said that you could have misinterpreted?
All too often our filters get in the way of information that hits our senses. The higher your level of self-awareness, the greater your ability to recognise and distinguish between what is fact and what is the result of a filter.
Getting in touch with your feelings…
What we think – our interpretation of events that produces a particular emotional response or thought
What we feel – a label that we use to describe a particular state
How our bodies react – eg: racing heartbeat, feeling tense
How we behave – eg: running away, hitting out or hugging someone
It is generally accepted that an emotion is not simply an automatic physical response to a situation, but our interpretation of bodily changes and information available to us.
Although our feelings are internal, they are often accompanied by outward (often physical) manifestations. By paying attention to these external signals, you can begin to understand what these feelings mean for you, moment by moment.
For example:
Butterflies in the stomach may mean excitement or fear
Glowing face may mean embarrassment
Relaxing into a chair may mean that you are at ease
Knowing your goals…
Our goals are what spur us into action. These might be short-term (what we want to accomplish right now/next month) or longer-term (for example, what we would like to have done with our lives).
The value of becoming aware of our goals is that we can use this information to help us develop the strategies necessary to get what we really, really want.
You might feel great at winning a shouting match with a difficult colleague or customer, but this is a short-term gain and transitory. You may have lost a potential major client and done nothing to build effective relationships. In addition, raising your adrenalin levels will do nothing for your longer-term health!
By understanding the link between your interpretation of an event and your responses to it, you can choose an alternative way to feel. This is a key EI
capability.
Emotion Management
Self-control: Keeping disruptive emotions & impulses in check
Trustworthiness: Maintaining standards of honesty & integrity
Conscientiousness: Taking responsibility fro personal performance
Adaptability: Flexibility in handling change
Innovation: Being comfortable with novel ideas, approaches & new info
These final steps – Social awareness & relationship management– are key to our interpersonal intelligence, the outer intelligence we use to read, sense and understand, and manage our relationships with others.
Social awareness is…Awareness of others’ feelings, thoughts & concerns
Understanding others - Better able to take another person’s perspective
Listening - Better at listening to others
Relationship management
Influence: Exercising effective tactics for persuasion
Communication: Listening openly & sending convincing messages
Conflict management: Negotiating & resolving disagreements
Leadership: Inspiring & guiding individuals & groups
Collaboration & cooperation: Working with others towards shared goals
Change catalyst: Initiating or managing change
Most people who work have to work with other people. No matter how enjoyable a job is, it can become stressful and unfulfilling or downright miserable if human relationships break down. The first thing to realise and accept is that you cannot change other people. All you can do is to change yourself.
When someone says or does something to annoy you, the annoyance is not in the thing being done, but in your response to the thing that is being one. Things and actions are not in themselves annoying: the annoyance lies within ourselves, in the response.
Relationship Problems – when you fail to communicate what you need; when you lose the confidence of your team members; when you are acknowledged as – “never approachable”
Rage in the Workplace – Outburst of emotions
Failure to advance in career – losing track of the actual purpose!
Poor decision making capability – Pre-occupied with frustrated thoughts
High rate of attrition in your team (healthy or bad!) – People start leaving you…not the job. Think! They start moving away from your vision
Lack of complete delegation – Lack of trust leading to micromanaging, when it actually can be avoided
This happens when we neglect to manage our emotions…
Pay attention to self and other’s body language
Listen more; speak less- develops empathy
Get curious, not furious- Watch what you say especially when frustrated or annoyed. Reframe negative emotions into curiosity - " ... this makes absolutely no sense to me" can be replaced with, "Do you see something in this that I must be missing”
Elicit pride in others – Reason for working together
Remember that emotions are contagious - A dominant person's emotions (negative or positive) always influences others. Leaders should be careful to show only those emotions, which they want to see in others
