particularly higher in some – but not all;
(2) The largest gap is in the capacity to predict the
emotional consequences of actions allowing women to be
more strategic with feelings;
(3) In key aspects of EQ, women in leadership roles are
even further ahead of their male counterparts, suggesting
that these differentiators may be essential for females to

compartmentalizing their emotions, because
they have been taught not to show their
emotions

“I don’t know how and/or don’t want to deal with
emotions, so let’s keep it logical, rational and
emotionally neutral”

excited!

14. 1. Knowledge of one’s own emotions
The first and most important ability in
emotional intelligence is awareness of
one’s own emotions - a part of your mind
that always pays attention to what you
are feeling, whether you are mad, sad,
scared or happy.

15. 2. Ability to manage one’s own emotions
As a natural result of becoming more
emotionally aware, one develops the ability
to choose
- what to do when feeling a strong emotion
- what to feel, appropriate to circumstances
So that you have mastery over them instead
of their having control over you.

18. “Underlying both [optimism and hope] is
an outlook psychologists call self-
efficacy, the belief that one has mastery
over the events of one’s life and can
meet challenges as they come up.”
Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence

Research now says we process 400 billion
bits of information per second – however
we are only aware of 2,000 bits of
information at any given time.
The Reticular Activation System processes
data 500,000 times faster than the word
thoughts you think.
You are consciously aware of so little!
