2. Emotional Intelligence (With animated picture relating to emotional intelligence)

Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions.

Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened,
while others claim it's an inborn characteristic. The ability to express and
control emotions is essential, but so is the ability to understand, interpret, and respond to
the emotions of others. Imagine a world in which you could not understand when a friend
was feeling sad or when a co-worker was angry.

Researchers suggest that there are four different levels of emotional intelligence including
emotional perception, the ability to reason using emotions, the ability to understand
emotions, and the ability to manage emotions.
4 Components of Emotional Intelligence

1. Perceiving emotions: The first step in understanding emotions is to perceive

them accurately. In many cases, this might involve understanding nonverbal
signals such as body language and facial expressions.
2. Reasoning with emotions: The next step involves using emotions to promote
thinking and cognitive activity.
3. Understanding emotions: The emotions that we perceive can carry a wide
variety of meanings. If someone is expressing angry emotions, the observer
must interpret the cause of the person's anger and what it could mean. For
example, if your boss is acting angry, it might mean that they are dissatisfied
with your work, or it could be because they got a speeding ticket on their way
to work that morning or that they've been fighting with their partner.
4. Managing emotions: The ability to manage emotions effectively is a crucial
part of emotional intelligence and the highest level. Regulating emotions and
responding appropriately as well as responding to the emotions of others are all
important aspects of emotional management.

Impact of Emotional Intelligence

The goal of these initiatives is not only to improve health and well-being but also to
help students succeed academically and prevent bullying. There are many examples of
how emotional intelligence can play a role in daily life.

How to Use

Emotional intelligence can be used in many different ways in your daily life. Some
different ways to practice emotional intelligence include:

 Being able to accept criticism and responsibility

 Being able to move on after making a mistake
 Being able to say no when you need to
  Being able to share your feelings with others
 Being able to solve problems in ways that work for everyone
 Having empathy for other people
 Having great listening skills
 Knowing why you do the things you do
 Not being judgemental of others

Understanding emotions can be the key to better relationships, improved well-being,

and stronger communication skills. 

Tips for Improving EI

Being emotionally intelligent is important, but what steps can you take to improve
your own social and emotional skills? Here are some tips.

Listen (gif about a person non-verbal communication )

verbally.

Empathize (gif about two friends with empathy)

Imagine how you would feel in their situation.

Reflect

The ability to reason with emotions is an important part of emotional intelligence.

Consider how your own emotions influence your decisions and behaviors. When you
are thinking about how other people respond, assess the role that their emotions play.

Why is this person feeling this way? Are there any unseen factors that might be
contributing to these feelings? How to your emotions differ from theirs? As you
explore such questions, you may find that it becomes easier to understand the role that
emotions play in how people think and behave.

3. People skills (picture relating to people)

An accountant needs to be good at math, a web developer needs to learn the newest
programming languages and a doctor needs to keep up on the latest medical research.
However, everyone who wants to succeed needs to be fluent in a particular set of skills –
people skills.

In general, good people skills are defined as the ability to listen, to communicate and to relate
to others on a personal or professional level. Good people skills also extend to include
problem-solving abilities, empathy for others and a willingness to work together toward the
common good. (picture relating to people talking)

Good communication skills involve choosing your words carefully, issuing clarifying
statements and reiterating complex conversations to verify information. Communication
skills are an especially valuable people skill in publishing, advertising and media roles.
