• Two arenas: • Moods
• Accountability
Did you know:
• The average person experiences 400 moods/emotion triggers per day*
• What do we do with them?
• How aware are we as they show up?
• Do we manage them or do they manage us?
• What more can we do . . . ?
• Most organizations spend one third of their time in the lower level mood states
Our decisions are generally poor in our lower level mood states because our thinking tends to be flawed

Emotional Intelligence is an essential component of the “whole” person
EI is not a new concept
“Anyone can become angry – that is easy.
But to be angry with the right person,
to the right degree,
at the right time,
for the right purpose,
and in the right way –
that is not easy.”
Aristotle

The Smarts that Count
EQ ≠ IQ
A group of people with similar IQs, some outperform others.
The competitive edge is Emotional Intelligence.
Success = 80% EQ, 20% IQ (Daniel Goleman)
EI can be learned. It takes awareness, time, patience & commitment.
Benefits for the individual, team and organization are not only worthwhile but invigorating.

IQ
EQ
The Business Case for EI
o Increased profitability
o Better retention of top performers
o More successful recruitment
o Greater productivity
23
On a more personal note
o People with positive emotions live longer
o People who can manage their emotions are healthier
o People with high EI are more satisfied with their jobs, and job
satisfaction is a better predictor of longevity than smoking or exercise!
24
. . . and
o The reasons for losing customers and clients are 70% EI-related
o *50 percent of time wasted in business is due to lack of trust, a key EI
competency (lower level mood states)
o Turnover all the way to the top has been accelerating in recent years,
and the top career derailers are EI-related
25
* Stephen M.R. Covey wrote,
The Speed of Trust
Derailed Careers
o Poor interpersonal relationships –
the single most common factor – being too harshly critical, insensitive or demanding, alienating co-workers and direct-reports.
26
o Rigidity –
inability to accept feedback about traits they need to change or improve. Inability to listen, learn and change.
o Inability to work with a team –
being disrespectful, uncooperative, not sharing information, plans or credit.

1. Look beyond just nurturing academic achievement
2. Receive training and skills to support the development of well-rounded children

Defining
How do we define “Emotion”?
33
Emotion is an impulse to act
Our Four Brains
34
o Brain stem – autonomic
o Amygdala – emotion
o Cortex – logic
o Pre-frontal cortex – integrates logic and emotion
into judgment
Building Blocks of Behavior
35
Behavior
Thoughts Emotions
Behavior is ALWAYS a CHOICE
EI = Logic + Emotion
36
o Pure logic has no heart
o Pure emotion has no reasoning
Emotion + Logic = EI
oNeed both emotion AND logic
oEI can be learned
oIt starts with awareness
oEI can be enhanced at any age
37
Personality
EQIQ
EI = A Collection of Skills
o Being aware of what’s going on within us, in the moment
o Being aware of what might be going on within others, and responding with care and consideration
o Managing ourselves, in the moment
o Managing our relationships with others

5 Steps to Cultivate Emotional Intelligence in Children
1.Acknowledge the “shift”: Don’t judge, just identify a shift in “feeling. Convey that you
recognize a change. This can also help them recognize this feeling again when it re-surfaces
in the future.
2.Identify the Emotion: Give words to help anchor the feeling to an identifiable label. Begin
with basic emotion like happy, sad, angry, then move to more complex emotions like
disappointed, frustrated, betrayed
3.Be Mindfully Present: This is crucial to fostering a capacity for emotional intelligence. It
means paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment without judgment. This will
make the greatest difference.
4.Role Play: Role playing and problem solving encourages empathy and it is often the
quickest way to diffuse a volatile situation. Be aware not to judge. Creative problem solving
gives children way to measure their emotional responses to challenging situations. Invite
brainstorming solutions to cultivate resilience and flexibility. Conclude by asking what they
noticed from the exercise.
5.Foster Empathy- One way to foster empathy is through animals. Children have a natural
affinity with animals. This is a great way for children to raise awareness. Have them
observe and understand non-verbal communication clues.
