Here's how you can enhance your career success through developing emotional intelligence.

As part of my journaling practice, each evening, I recall which emotions I felt during various moments of my day, especially how much coherence I felt between what I was doing in every moment and my core values. This practice helps me better identify my emotions, and especially what "triggers" me, deal better with uncomfortable situations, and go all in where it feels like the right moment.

TRUST IN YOURSELF believe in a higher power and tune into source. Develop a focus and strategy that aligns with the truth of YOUR being and no other Lead from a place of love and contentment x

To enhance emotional intelligence, begin with self-awareness. Recognize your emotional triggers and their impact on your thoughts and actions. Reflect on your strengths and weaknesses in managing emotions—whether you get angry quickly or find it hard to express feelings. Honest self-assessment helps pinpoint growth areas and lays the groundwork for personal development. This understanding is essential as it influences how you interact with others and handle emotions across different situations. Developing self-awareness enables more effective communication and improved emotional responses in both personal and professional etiquette.

Maintain a positive attitude even in challenging situations. Optimism can boost your resilience and inspire those around you. A lifelong learning - Attend workshops, read books, and engage in training programs focused on emotional intelligence.

Conhecer a si mesmo é 1 passo fundamental para crescimento pessoal e profissional. Reflita suas emo??es, a??es e pensamentos. Pe?a feedback de amigos, colegas de trabalho. Identificar o que afeta seu comportamento e as pessoas ao redor. Aprender a gerenciar o estresse e controlar suas rea??es emocionais.

Empathy truly is a foundational element of emotional intelligence, playing a critical role in both personal and professional success. By practicing empathy, we can gain deeper insights into others' perspectives, leading to improved conflict resolution, more effective leadership, and stronger collaboration within teams. It's not just about sympathy; it's about genuinely seeing and understanding the world through others' eyes. This skill enhances our ability to negotiate and persuade, as we can tailor our approaches based on a keen awareness of others' motivations. Embracing empathy can transform our interactions and drive success in our careers.

Putting yourself in other people's shoes is a great step already. The additional step I tried to apply was the understand the shoes themselves, so to speak. Understanding why people act the way they do with genuine interest provides a bigger sense of trust. I've been on both sides of the coin and can confidently say that the trust displayed once you feel like someone has shown genuine interest, nearly always increases.

Empathie f?ngt mit aktivem Zuh?ren an - oder sogar noch davor - mit der Haltung 'Verstehen zu wollen'. In den letzten Jahren hatte ich einige Führungstrainings, die mehrere Module hatten - in dem Konfliktmodul merkte ich, wie schwer es den meisten fiel - sich in die andere Person - in das Gegenüber - hineinzuversetzen. Theoretisch und vom Selbstbild her hatten diese Teilnehmerinnen alle das Gefühl und die Wahrnehmung, tolle empathische Führungskr?fte zu sein, doch bei diesem Perspektivenwechsel war ich sehr erschrocken, wie schwer sie sich damit taten. In zwei Kleingruppen kam der AHA-Effekt, der Durchbruch und im n?chsten Modul wurde berichtet, dass es nun gar keinen Konflikt mehr g?be - ganz ohne Gespr?ch. Nur durchs Einfühlen. Sagenhaft.

Active listening goes beyond merely hearing words; it involves fully concentrating on the speaker, comprehending their message, and responding thoughtfully. To enhance your emotional intelligence, practice listening without interruptions, assumptions, or pre-planned responses while the other person is speaking. This approach shows respect and allows you to gain valuable insights into their emotions and thoughts. By engaging in active listening, you can foster more meaningful interactions and avoid misunderstandings that could lead to conflicts.

As a manager I tried to live by the simple principle of "two ears and one mouth". If I was speaking more than those around me, there was clear room for improvement for myself.

Empathie und aktives Zuh?ren lassen sich nicht trennen. Doch ich erlebe immer wieder, dass Menschen die Technik des aktiven Zuh?rens anwenden, doch nicht wirklich die Haltung des 'Verstehen-Wollens' einnehmen. Empathie ist nicht nur eine Frage der Technik und des Verhaltens, sondern vor allem eine Frage der Haltung. Wichtig ist es, immer zun?chst an der Haltungsebene anzusetzen, bevor wir unser Verhalten ver?ndern k?nnen.

It's unbelievable how much more effective collaboration becomes when we take the time to genuinely be curious and interested in what the other person is telling us. Next time you engage in a conversation, instead of being overly focused on your ideas and goals, try to pay real attention to the other person. You'll be surprised by how much more collaborative the other person becomes.

Clear communication is a vital aspect of emotional intelligence. It requires expressing your thoughts and feelings in a direct and situation-appropriate manner. To achieve this, avoid ambiguous language and pay attention to non-verbal cues like body language and tone of voice. Effective communication helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that your message is understood. This skill is particularly valuable in high-stress situations, where clear and calm communication can help de-escalate potential conflicts.

In my experience the most integral part of direct communication is to ensure that you are stating your opinion, and that the decoder of your messages understands this. As a very direct communicator it is easy to encode messages in a "factual" manner, which decreases the willingness to listen from people who disagree with your opinion. A simple way to do this is add some words when initiating the communication, such as "It seems to me", "The way I see it". Opinions differ and perspectives are subjective, but your feeling cannot be disagreed with.

Communication is the translation of your thoughts to the world. As it’s subject to interpretation, it needs to be treated carefully. There are infinite factors that can condition the result of the communication: environment, language and culture, mood, subject, emotions, mental state, and many more. All of those will decode what you are saying in a different way you coded it. Your goal is to make the decoded code as close as the one you coded, taking all those factors in consideration.

Meiner Erfahrung nach ist klare Kommunikation untrennbar mit beruflichem Erfolg verbunden. Wir k?nnen auch nur klar kommunizieren, wenn wir selbst unsere Gefühle verstehen und managen k?nnen und unsere Fallen aufgel?st haben im ersten Schritt, bei der Selbstfindung. Denn die meisten Führungskr?fte stecken noch in der Harmoniefalle fest, haben Angst, dass sie mit klarer Kommunikation bei anderen anecken - doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Klarheit folgt auf Verstehen und eigener Reife in dem Umgang mit eigenen Emotionen. Klare Worte ?ffnen und tun auch nicht weh, wenn ich Feedback-Regeln beachte. Wie viele Konflikte k?nnten vermieden werden, wenn die Menschen klar miteinander kommunizieren würden?

Emotionsmanagement und Stressmanagement h?ngen eng zusammen. Das meinte ich damit, dass wir bei uns selbst die Triggerpunkte kennen sollten. Was bringt bei uns die Emotionen durcheinander? Was oder wer triggert mich? In welchen Situationen? Wenn ich meine Emotionen managen kann, dann kann ich mit Stress anders umgehen. Dabei spielen auch die Gedanken eine wesentliche Rolle und nicht nur die Gefühle. Denn wenn ich einen stressausl?senden Gedanken ver?ndere - ver?ndere ich auch meine Emotionen. Wenn ich meine Programmierungen neu im Gehirn verdrahte und destruktive Antreiber wie 'sei gef?llig' umprogrammiere, dann ver?ndern sich auch meine Emotionen, wenn ich mich neue verhalte.

Too little stress can lead to boredom and depression. Too much stress can cause anxiety, burnout, and poor health. However, the appropriate "acute stress" level can enhance brain function, leading to better performance and health. "Acute stress" is short-lived, not chronic, intense stress. Research found that it primes the brain for improved performance and engagement. Additionally, placing ourselves in stressful situations can contribute to "good stress" compared to when it's imposed on us, offering less control and agency.

Something I did on a daily basis was write down noteworthy conversations that I was a part of throughout the day. By revisiting the conversations at a later stage it became easier to understand how I understood others and how they must have understood me. Verifying this with the ones who partook in the conversations was an additional way to receive insights into how a perspective might have differed. This led to a very insightful understanding of many colleagues I worked with daily.

Whilst reflection helps having things more clear, one thing I think it’s super useful is reflecting with “trusted” others. Instead of having a conversation with yourself, have it with another peer you trust on the matter you are discussing. Someone you admire and you know will be a fair partner in the analysis of things, situations, and bringing up solutions.

For many years now, I've maintained the habit of setting aside time for morning reflections. This can take the form of long walks or journaling. During this time, I reflect on my goals, but most importantly, I reflect on my emotions. I revisit interactions to determine which felt enriching and which were draining. I especially focus on exchanges that left me with bitter feelings and ask myself why. I try to understand if I contributed to the negativity and how I can prevent it from happening again. I find this habit of safeguarded reflection time before the chaos of the day begins to be transformational.
