What is not Emotional Intelligence ? as I am stepping in to the 50th Episode I thought of reflect how this journey understanding emotional intelligence. I have interviewed 49 different individual from all 5 continents, I was really amazed to understand the different perspective brought in to the conversation around Ei. The Podcast I started due to lockdown has given me a true inspiration to run 4 seasons & more over the vast amount knowledge I gained is not replaceable. So this led me to keep exploring different topics with different personalities. The right word would be curiosity…
Every single topic was connected to Ei, So my doubt is what is not Emotional Intelligence?
John D mayer- Famous Personality analysis : Emotional intelligence is often claimed to be many things it is not: Journalistic accounts of EI often have equated it to other personality traits. Emotional intelligence, however, is not agreeableness. It is not optimism. It is not happiness. It is not calmness. It is not motivation. Such qualities, although important, have little to do with intelligence, little to do with emotions, and nearly nothing to do with actual emotional intelligence.
WHAT IS NOT EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ? It is not about being emotional! Being emotional in this sense means being out of control, or being controlled by one’s emotions. A frequent temptation is to support individuals who are displaying a heightened emotional response to a given stimulus and become personally affected by the issue. EI is also not about using or manipulating the emotions of other people to achieve one’s own goals in a malicious way
Here some key signs of Lack of Ei
1.Always Have to Be 'Right'
2. Behave Insensitively
3. Blame Others for our own Problems
4. They Have Poor Coping Skills
5. Have Emotional Outbursts
I always believed that there Is no Positive or Negative emotions. Emotions are Data. It is our own choice how to recognize these data & make useful for own selves. I want to bring to your notice that Ei can be developed & when it became part & parcel of yourself it is going to be a different person overall . So here I am ending my 50thEpisode, Season 4 with the end of 2021, but it is not end of my journey of podcasting to discover Emotional Intelligence & how it can help people to live a meaningful live & pursue their passion.
