Tune in and listen to their personal opinions and views on the topic.
Episode Highlights
03:26 – First is self-awareness, meaning we actually understand what triggers us, what it is that makes us happy, what makes us pissed off.
03:41 – Second is Self-management, it's how well we can manage those expectations. If we can manage and we blow up with anger, all those have a different outcome.
07:30 – Any form of communication whether verbal non-verbal, written or non-written. Emotional Intelligence has an impact on all of that. If we don`t understand the audience that we`re writing to and the emotions that we`re feeling it can get misinterpreted.
15:01- The eye rolls, there's a trigger for it. The sighs, there's a trigger for it and that will lead to a negative outcome.
19:08 – If we can be more tactful with the things that we can control, which is ourselves and our body language and the words that we use, we’ll have a greater impact and having a conversation that leads to less conflict less stress and we can do the things that we really want to do throughout the day.
