EQ as interchangable with Emotional Intelligence.

! Like Intelligence Quotient (IQ), EQ is also measurable.

Who coined the term “Emotional Intelligence” ?

! John Mayer and Peter Salovey in 1990

! Mayer and Salovey define emotional intelligence as "the ability to monitor one's own and other's feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one's thinking and action."

Page 10: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Page 16: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Since Daniel Goleman’s book,

! There have been many who have written about various aspects of the EQ topic.

Page 17: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer
Page 18: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! In the book, Emotional Wellness, by OSHO, emotions are said to be in constant motion ~ as

the word e – motion suggests.

! Our charge is then to recognize that we’re ALL emotional beings, with feelings that are always in motion.

! OSHO suggests that we stop judging ourselves and others.

Emotional Wellness

EQ Operationalized

! Mayer and Salovey, Goleman and others have written much conceptually about Emotional Intelligence, then organizations came along to operationalize EQ . . . to give it practical application.

Page 21: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Six Seconds gave us a new working definition of Emotional Intelligence and also developed 8 Competencies by which EQ can be applied.

Page 22: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Six Seconds Definition of EQ

! “Emotional Intelligence is the effective blending of thinking and feeling to make optimal decisions.”

Page 29: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Enhance Emotional Literacy allows us to name and understand our feelings.

Emotions are a feedback system delivering information/data that drives behavior and decisions.

Competency #1 Enhance Emotional Literacy

Page 30: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Emotional Literacy provides critical information about you (and others), which gives you insight into the core drivers of behavior.

! Emotional literacy is the capacity to access and interpret that data.

Emotional Literacy

Page 31: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

When you can see the mix of these emotions in

your current feeling, you can better understand the purpose or value of your feeling.

What are the Combination of Emotions & Their Meanings ?

Page 32: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Trust or Acceptance = recognize value, openness! Joy = Achieving goals; expanding possibilities! Anticipation = planning ahead; seeking a new

situation! Anger = road is blocked; change needed! Disgust = something is unacceptable, reject or

move away! Sadness = not achieving goals, something

important is missing; loss of love! Surprise = reality is different than beliefs, re-

evaluate! Fear = uncertainty, unknown danger, powerlessness

Eight Basic Emotions & Meanings

Page 33: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions

Page 34: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Emotions are signals to help us. There are no good or bad emotions; they all serve a purpose.

! When we feel something. How is the feeling trying to help or protect us ?

Reflections

Page 35: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Pen and Paper! Think of a time in your recent past when you had

a strong emotional response to something. It may have been in your professional life or perhaps in your personal life. The emotion may still be strong for you or perhaps you’ll need to conjur up those feelings.

! We’ll take just a moment here for you to recall such a time.

! Now, with that situation in mind, I will show you several slides filled with Mixed Emotion cards. Please take the opportunity to write down all the emotions that you experience in that situation.

Reflections

! Emotions are signals to help us. There are no good or bad emotions; they all serve a purpose.

! When we feel something. How is the feeling trying to help or protect us ?

Page 45: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Reflections! Do these emotions stir you into action ? ! Or do you feel stuck as a result of this emotion ?

! If you were to let these emotions drive you, where would they take you ?

! What can you learn here ?

Page 46: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Reflections! “Aha” moments regarding Enhance Emotional Literacy ?

How can Enhance Emotional Literacy

A) Apply to your personal life ?

B) Apply to your professional life ?

Thoughts or questions here ?

Page 47: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Definition: Consciously acknowledging frequently recurring reactions and behaviors.

! Sometimes people assess new situations and respond carefully and thoughtfully, but frequently they run on autopilot, reacting unconsciously based on habit.

Competency #2 Recognize Patterns

Page 48: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Left unconscious, these patterns can inhibit optimal performance because they are a generalized response.

Recognize Patterns

Page 49: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Recognizing Patterns helps you track and monitor your reactions – which is an essential step to managing them.

Recognize Patterns

Page 50: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Because our brains are wired to form these neuro-pathways, we each, as individuals, develop patterns.

! Consider these situations, do you relate to any of the following ?

! When I feel frustrated . . . I withdraw! When I’m lonely, I eat.! When things aren’t going well . . .I blame others

Examples of Patterns

Page 51: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! When I expect too much, I get hurt. ! If someone is infringing on my special time with a good

friend, I get quiet or even surly.! When I’m away from my home and it’s the middle of the

night, my default mode is fear.! When having company, I put too much energy into having

the house look good, which interestingly increases my expectation to enjoy our time together, while also robs me of the energy I have to enjoy company. Leaves me frustrated.

! If someone poses a problem, I have to restrain myself from jumping into “fix it” mode.

! When my kids have asked for favors at the last minute, I could be quick to say, “No”

Some of my patterns

Page 52: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer
Page 53: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Please take a minute to become aware of and write down a pattern that does not serve you.

What are your patterns ?

Page 54: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Now that you’ve recognized a particular pattern that does not serve you, now identify a counter to that approach that would not limit you, but would rather free you . . .

Formation of productive pattern

Page 55: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Consider the benefit of recognizing patterns in your personal and professional life.

! “The greatest despair is to not become the person you were meant to be.” Kierkegaard

Recognize Patterns

Page 56: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Recognize Patterns

! Questions ?

! Evaluating the costs and benefits of your choices.

Competency #3 Apply Consequential Thinking

Page 58: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! This competence is critical for making a plan that accounts for the human dynamics.

Apply Consequential Thinking

Page 59: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Assessing the short and long term costs and

benefits of our choices.

Reviewing emotional history and determining how to do things better.

Apply Consequential Thinking

Page 60: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Examples

! Example : Rather than accusing, asking questions.

Page 61: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Internal Deliberation

! What is it in the short term and in the long term that you want out of this experience, courageous conversation, etc ?

! How can this be a win:win ?

Page 62: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Think about a courageous conversation you may need to have with someone

! With your notepad :

! What is it about ?

! In what ways will you want to be particularly sensitive in your approach ?

! How can the conversation be experienced as a win:win

Competency #4Navigating Emotions

Page 66: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Definition: Assessing, harnessing and transforming emotions as a strategic resource.

Navigating Emotions

Page 67: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Importance: People are often told to control their emotions, to suppress feelings like anger, joy, or fear, and eliminate them from the decision-making process.

! Without emotion, people literally cannot make decisions.

Navigating Emotions

Page 68: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

So rather than ignoring feelings or controlling them through sheer force of will, this competence lets you manage emotions, gain valuable insight from them, and then transform them.

Navigating Emotions

Page 69: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! The Reason this Organization is called Six Seconds:

! When we have a strong response to a stimuli which results in anger, frustration, jealousy, fear . . . it takes Six Seconds for our bodies to be flooded with neuro-chemicals.

Navigate Emotions

Page 70: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer
Page 71: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Our brain responds with a flood of neuro-chemicals.

! Instead of being hijacked, we can observe what’s happening and override our tendency to react by engaging our prefrontal cortex = higher level thinking.

! We instead: think of our 6 favorite books/movies, etc.

What happens . . . what can we do ?

Page 72: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Hunger! Lack of sleep! Caffeine! Junk food

Variables that can lead to our own emotional hijacking

Page 73: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Exercising Optimism

Page 74: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

Exercising Optimism

Page 77: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer
Page 78: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Definition: Gaining energy from personal values and commitments vs. being driven by external forces.

! Importance: People who require external reinforcement to be motivated are always at the mercy of others’ approval or reward system.

Competency #6Engage Intrinsic Motivation

Page 79: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Engaging Intrinsic Motivation helps you develop and use lasting inner drivers. This allows you to stand up, challenge the status quo, take risks, and persevere when the going is tough.

Engaging Intrinsic Motivation

Page 80: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer
Page 81: Understanding and Growing Your Emotional Intelligence with Darby Fetzer

! Gaining energy from personal values and commitments vs. being driven by others.
