I’ve spoken about emotional intelligence for many many
years. So why was I nervous over the
weekend? I was only going to be speaking
for a brief time, a pro bono event. Why
oh why was I nervous? It didn’t make any
sense!
But it did.
I’ve been
involved in other projects for years and while I work on my own EI daily, I
haven’t formally spoken about EI in a while.
My anxiety was alerting me – if you want to be successful, you should
practice. You know this deeply but you
still need to review your ideas and practice.
Yes! Or course. As I started to review my slides my anxiety
evaporated.
Emotions are a form of intelligence. They are data we can interpret and use in our
daily life. If we do this, we can make better decisions and feel more at
ease.
