Emotional Intelligence: Being Human At Work

I often am asked what makes Emotional Intelligence so special for workplace success and leadership. There is still some skepticism that managing our own emotions and the emotions of others drives performance, engagement and fulfillment at work. Here is why Emotional Intelligence is so important in the workplace...

We all can agree that no day is the same. Change is constant. Stress is a constant with varying intensity. As leaders we need to have the mindfulness, adaptability and empathy to respond to change and stress both in ourselves and the people around us. It allows us to not be on autopilot. Autopilot is being mindless and it stifles human connection and understanding. 

Emotional Intelligence is where true leadership happens when we have an awareness of our own emotions and the emotions of others in the moment. This is real human "Wi-Fi" connection that puts us in an excellent position to lead, inspire and build meaningful relationships.

My passion is creating Emotionally Intelligent workplaces to improve performance and well-being in and outside your organization. Culture is everything and it all starts with Emotional Intelligence.

 

Cheers to becoming more human,
