Leaning In To Emotions

Have you ever had a moment where you have an emotion, and you can't exactly name what that emotion is?
This is an area of weakness for me - I can't often name emotions that aren't your standard 'sad, mad, or glad'. I know I feel other emotions throughout the day, but unless they stand out on the extreme end of one of these 3 buckets, I have trouble identifying what they are.
As leaders go, it is estimated that 90% of promotion potential is derived from affective skills such as #emotionalintelligence rather than technical skills.
90%!?!? Wow. It is no wonder that we are drawn to leaders who have the interpersonal strengths of listening, making others feel seen, and understanding the interface of our emotions and the work we do.
If you have read Brené Brown 's or Daniel Goleman 's work in this area, you'd find that our ability to connect with each other and self-regulate is deeply tied to our ability to recognize our emotions in ourselves and in one another.
