Emotional Intelligence - Part 1 of 2 - Self-Management
Show Notes

There are two critical components of having high emotional intelligence: inward facing (self management) and outward facing (social management).  

In this episode, I share three practical tips on how you can build your self-awareness and self-management skills.

  1. Grow Your Emotions Vocabulary
  2. Orient Yourself to Empathy as a Skill and Not a Feeling
  3. Create and Write Down Specific (S.M.A.R.T.) Goals Related to Building Emotional Intelligence

I also explore the difference between sympathy and empathy. This distinction is a beginning step to building your skills in empathy, which leads to better social (relationship) management skills.
