INTELLIGENCE
 WHAT IS EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE(EI)?
• It is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and
those of others, discern between different feelings and label them
appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and
behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to
environments or achieve one's goal(s)
ATTRIBUTES OF EI
• Self-awareness can be defined as “the ability to recognize and
understand your own emotions” . It is the foundational building block
of emotional intelligence.

• Self-Management is your ability to use awareness of your emotions

to stay flexible and positively direct your behavior.

• Social skills-People with strong social skills are typically team

players. Rather than focus on their own success, they help others to
develop and shine. They can manage disputes, are excellent
communicators, and are masters at building and maintaining
relationships.
• Empathy - This is the ability to identify with and understand the
wants, needs, and viewpoints of those around you. Empathetic people
avoid stereotyping and judging too quickly, and they live their lives in
an open, honest way.

• Motivation - People with a high EI are willing to defer immediate

results for long-term success. They are highly productive , love a
challenge, and are effective in whatever they do.
 EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE &
YOUR HEALTH
It’s essential to basically every aspect of life-
1. Physical Health
2. Mental Well-Being
3. Relationships
4. Conflict Resolution
5. Success
6. Leadership
 FIVE WAYS TO DEVELOP YOUR
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
1. Manage your negative emotions. When you’re able to manage and
reduce your negative emotions, you’re less likely to get overwhelmed.

2. Be mindful of your vocabulary. Focus on becoming a stronger

communicator in the workplace. Emotionally intelligent people tend to
use more specific words that can help communicate deficiencies, and
then they immediately work to address them.
3. Practice empathy - Practice focusing on others and walking in their
shoes, even if just for a moment. Empathetic statements do not excuse
unacceptable behavior, but they help remind you that everyone has their
own issues.

4. Know your stressors - Take stock of what stresses you out, and be
proactive to have less of it in your life.

5. Bounce back from adversity - To help you bounce back from

adversity, practice optimism instead of complaining. What can you learn
from this situation? Ask constructive questions to see what you can take
away from the challenge at hand.
