How Emotional Intelligence can Improve the Future of Work: Days 9 & 10

During spring, a man walks in a park to clear his head. Before looking at him for a millisecond, the squirrel eats a nut before running up a tree. A man wonders why squirrels are so quick to spot humans. I wish I was that fast.

Snap decisions are the focus of the short story. Unfortunately, humans have similar brain response times to animals - they're just not as good - and, more often than not, get into trouble for it.

Think back to all the arguments you had with your previous partners about jumping to conclusions. "I saw you with your hands around her" is a classic. It's a brain that is going fast - so fast that we have not yet sorted out the different parts of the information - sometimes this can lead to anger. It is possible to do something in regret if we are jealous because we picked out the wrong information.?

And sometimes, more than not, we can also see images of someone that represent past flames - where we are out walking, and we think we see our ex-girlfriend, so we quickly hide behind a car. And we get up after the moment and start laughing at ourselves.?

Now, can we improve these brain responses to actively play a slow-motion stream inside the human brain - A superman type power - or Freeze time if you like. Is this true, and can all humans activate this cognitive thinking process??What type of modern organization attempts this fine tune the process? Yes, for special forces on deployment - before deployment, they conduct room-clearing drills in the killing house (SAS). Then during deployment, their brains are deeply conditioned to respond in real-time - because they have been trained that way.?

How To Use Emotional Intelligence To Improve The Future of Work: Day 10

Everyday Human Activity Intervention Training

Here's where I think it gets complicated - how do we as humans learn to avoid jumping to conclusions in conversation and in images that may evoke memories from the past?

It is almost needed to have a traffic light system in our heads. When it's Green, you can cross - meaning it's safe to question someone. Homicide detectives are probably one of the highest thinkers on this subject - they cannot afford to jump to a conclusion as they have a killer to find. They work through the case slowly in their heads - using a lot of professional training. Some of that training is what I call thought processes when looking at a crime scene. It's not quite the same as CSI, as films are not always a true account of a progression. I am talking about a concept called "precognitive emotion," a reaction based on neural bits and pieces of sensory information that have not been fully sorted out and integrated into a recognizable" (Coleman,2004)?

Now it sounds complex, and it is. I would argue that most homicide detectives don't even realise they have this skill as its only works connecting brain memories throughout a crime investigation. However, I believe that humans can improve their "precognitive emotion" in some situations. Think of Superman-like powers and the human brain if you struggle to understand. Our brains are very complex; we all know that. Yet, through different experiences, either in training or in real events, they can be trained to work faster.?

My redefined research term is self-innovation, and I will coin the term right here and now. It is a slower approach to "precognitive emotion" or, for some, a deeper way of training our brains to cope with stress and depression. Though it is still early in the design process, some of my early participants report relating well to the practice. Long-term, I would like to give innovation a new domain - self-innovation, and train people in different occupations to efficiently reach their superpowers (brain activity) to improve their overhaul performance.

I want to end today`s entry by tacking you back to the squirrel story. We cannot replace the human brain with a squirrel-like brain - not now at least - in terms of quicker reactions - however, what we can do is train our minds to have better senses and memories in past and present - we have the power to deal with complex situations - that is stood in history for sure - yet what about the complexities of the modern world - how can we safeguard and manage more efficiently - how can we avoid depression - how do we create super like thinking soldiers of Marvel Powers in the real world. I am learning in life that anything is possible if, literally, you put your mind to it.?
