What an amazing night last night! I hosted one of my Lady-Preneur MasterMeals. I’m never sure what to expect, how the conversation will go, and what will come up but a common thread always presents itself and last night was no exception.
Right off the bat, the tone of the conversation was set. Although everyone was new to each other except for two, as they introduced themselves each brought up the concept of Emotional Intelligence and how embracing it had not only changed their personal and business worlds but how extending it to others in their lives - husbands, partners, employees, co-workers, and clients - had made all the difference in their overall happiness, joy and love quotient.
• Kelly’s entire business is centered around Emotional Intelligence and teaching others how to use it.
• Mundy, as CEO, established an EOS system (Entrepreneurial Operating System) in her company which helps people clarify their vision, gain traction, and increase team health with simple, proven and practical tools.
• Katharine teaches her patients to break through their literal birth pain by tapping into their innate ‘Ability to Go Further’ mindset.
• Kelli introduced it to her husband and his co-workers by hiring a therapist to do group sessions with them once a month to help them learn and deal with stress on and off the job.
What is Emotional Intelligence? It is defined as the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of those around you.
The four skills of emotional intelligence are: Self-awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management.
The process can be applied to overcoming money blocks, self-sabotage habits, and any other self-imposed limiting beliefs that are holding you back from achieving everything you’ve every wanted and living a joyful, loving, and satisfying life.
Here are the steps:
Practice observing how you feel
Pay attention to how you behave
Question your own opinions
Take responsibility for your feelings
Take time to celebrate the positive
Don't ignore the negative
Don't forget to breathe
Review and repeat the process
We all have Emotional Intelligence. It’s simply how much we want to 'Use it & Improve it’ by choosing to embrace it as a vital tool for our lives.
Here’s another step - I have a free quiz called “What’s Holding You Back” on my website that addresses the Five Fears - Fear of Abandonment, Fear of Success (or Failure), Fear of Out-shining, Fear of Being Fundamentally Flawed, and Fear of Losing Control.
See what fear may be holding you back and practice the Emotional Intelligence steps to begin breaking through that fear to find greater joy, love and peace in your life. CHECK IT OUT!
As we wrapped up our over 3 hours together, I asked the women what was one word that would want to focus on in the next week based on our conversations. The top two were Love and Connection! :)
And what does this have to do with business, marketing, branding? - EVERYTHING!
Best, Janet
