Show Notes:
“No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” -Theodore Roosevelt. Implicit in this statement is the idea that emotional intelligence is a necessary trait for anyone with leadership aspirations. Further, it is said, Intelligence Quotient gets you hired but Emotional Quotient (EQ) gets you promoted.
As someone who, over a series of events, had lost her confidence, Leadercast Host Site Leader, Monique Russell is now on a path to help others regain their self-belief through a series of experiences by practicing tools to harness emotional intelligence. In a recent episode of The Entrepreneurial You podcast, Monique shares her journey of accomplishment and how to leverage emotional intelligence to lead effectively.
Moniqe shares Myles Munroe 5 questions that motivates the human heart:
1.Who am I?
2.Where am I from?
3.What can I do?
4.Who can I serve?
5.Where am I going?
“When you align with your strengths and get clear on it, doors will open”, Monique went on before touching on an important quadrant that we need to be aware of in the Emotional Intelligence conversation.
- Identify what is happening 2. Self-regulation 3. Social awareness 4. Relationship management
In my quest to delve deeply into what emotional intelligence is and how to get there, I was put in the hot seat as Monique illustrated the power of reflection.
“Emotional Intelligence is being able to identify what your body is doing at the first sign of stress…Take that data and apply it to make your relationships more productive…How is your behavior affecting others around you?”
“As you aim to work up the Emotional Intelligence continuum, working with a coach who is dedicated to see you get from good to great is a great way to start…Another effective tool is the power of reflection – review, repair and release. It is important to focus on what is bringing joy instead of putting fires out.”
“Identify key points within projects and figure out when did I operate in a spirt of excellence, Monique suggests.” These are just a few of the pointers Monique gave.
