What the presentation covers
Slide 1 Emotional Intelligence
A quiet skill with loud results · Understanding ourselves, understanding others · 1 · a presentation in ten slides · 10
Slide 2 What it is
The ability to recognize, understand and manage our own emotions — and to recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others. · The term · Introduced by psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer in the late nineteen-eighties. · The book · Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence brought it to the world — and argued it can matter more than IQ. · Emotional Intelligence
Slide 3 Why it matters
The evidence · Emotional intelligence · Three findings, from large samples of working professionals, keep pointing in the same direction: the ability to recognize and manage emotions is not a soft extra — it shapes performance, income and wellbeing. · Only about a third of people can accurately recognize and manage their emotions. · TalentSmart · +29k · High-EQ professionals earn, on average, nearly thirty thousand dollars more per year than their low-EQ peers (TalentSmart study, via Forbes). · Emotional intelligence accounts for nearly 60% of performance in jobs of all kinds.
Slide 4 The five components
Daniel Goleman's model of emotional intelligence has five components: · 1 Self-awareness Knowing what you feel, and why · 2 Self-regulation Choosing your response instead of reacting · 3 Motivation An inner drive beyond money or status · 4 Empathy Sensing how others feel · 5 Social skills Handling relationships with care · After Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence
Slide 5 Self-awareness
Component one · The foundation: knowing what you feel, the moment you feel it, and why. · It means recognizing how your moods affect your decisions and the people around you. · “I’m anxious about this deadline because it matters to me.” · A practice — name the emotion precisely · Not “I’m fine”. Not “I’m stressed”. The right word is the beginning of the right response.
Slide 6 Self-regulation
Component two · The pause between feeling and acting — choosing your response instead of reacting. · What it is not · It is not suppressing emotion; it is letting it inform you without letting it steer you. · A practice · When something stings, wait. Breathe once. Then decide what the situation actually calls for.
Slide 7 Motivation
Component three · Emotionally intelligent people are driven from within — by curiosity, purpose and the love of improving. · Not by money, titles or external approval alone. · Emotional intelligence · 7 of 10 · A practice · Connect one ordinary task this week to something you actually care about. · Care, made visible
Slide 8 Empathy
Component four · Sensing what others feel — and taking their perspective seriously. Empathy is not agreement; it is understanding before judging. · A practiceIn your next disagreement, restate the other person’s view until they say “yes, exactly” — then make yours.
Slide 9 Social skills
Where the other four meet the world: handling relationships, resolving conflict, building trust. · It shows in small things — remembering what matters to someone, saying thank you, repairing after a rupture. · A practice After a tense exchange, follow up within a day. Repair beats avoidance. · Emotional intelligence — the five components Social skills
Slide 10 Practice daily
Where to begin · Emotional intelligence is not a trait you have or lack — it is a set of skills, and skills grow with practice. · Name what you feel · Put words to the emotion before it puts words in your mouth. · Pause before reacting · A breath between feeling and response is where choice lives. · Ask before assuming · Curiosity replaces the story you didn't check.
