Emotional Intelligence: From Fried Eggs to Fulfilled Leadership

Take 5 minutes each morning to identify and name your current emotions. Consider journaling about their source.

“Talking about your emotions we get our brain to digest them and we let the emotion past and transform itself.”

Share your feelings with a trusted friend or colleague. Be vulnerable and express what you are experiencing.

“I talk about emotions now and I share my emotions with people that I trust.”

During team conversations, focus on fully understanding each person's perspective. Reflect back what you hear to ensure comprehension.

“We can learn how to listen better we can learn how to be present in a conversation.”

Incorporate time for non-professional sharing during team meetings. Encourage team members to share aspects of their personal lives.

“When we talk with our team about our personal life we understand better each other and and we get the connection so probably we will solve completes better if we know the other person also from that approach.”

Pay close attention to the body language of team members during conversations. Practice interpreting non-verbal cues.

“can we put our limbic brain on please and be aware of the body language of the expression of that person and being present is much much easier to get that”

Establish a structured process for team members to provide feedback to each other. Use this feedback to drive individual and team growth.

“Let's create a routine for group feedback where we get feedback from all our colleagues.”

Acknowledge and celebrate team achievements. Create a positive atmosphere and reinforce a sense of accomplishment.

“Include play and of course include celebration in your organization's.”

Actively seek out and embrace diversity within the team. Value different perspectives and create an inclusive environment.

“I love diversity I mean differences trigger our emotions and push us to grow so let's create teams and organizations with diversity so we will all learn about that.”
