Ep 255 Using Our Emotional Intelligence

In this episode, I explore the significance of emotional intelligence (EI) for we introverts who are either climbing the career ladder or seeking a more fulfilling life. We explore the origins of EI that was then popularised by Daniel Goleman.    It would be remiss of me to talk origins in this way without mentioning Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences.   Understanding this history helps us appreciate how these theories have evolved over time and why they are still relevant.   I believe choosing leaders with robust emotional intelligence is necessary to mitigate our current global crisis by challenging the outdated corporate mindset. By enhancing our EI through actionable feedback and developing a rich emotional vocabulary, we can lead more meaningful lives with stronger interpersonal connections   *** Key Points ***   Emotional Intelligence vs. Cognitive Intelligence. Techniques to enhance EI include feedback. Introversion isn't an excuse for poor skills.   *** Resources ***   Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
