38. Part One: The Number One Skill: Practical Tips To Develop Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence)

You’ve heard the term IQ before, it’s a static number that doesn’t really change over time and is used as a basis of your intelligence. But IQ isn’t the only thing you need to succeed in life, in fact, we’d say that it’s not even the most important. When it comes to managing and succeeding in your life, emotional intelligence is THE skill to learn. The good news is? You can grow this skill for the rest of your life.  Welcome back to The Unlimited Potential Show! This week we start a new two-part series about the importance of emotional intelligence. Emotions are a part of our everyday lives, whether we acknowledge them or not. We are constantly dealing with emotional stimuli whether it’s from other people, work, or our environment. There is something that is pulling at our attention. So, what would happen if we were able to identify and manage all these emotions? In this episode, we discuss the difference between IQ and EQ and the power that emotional intelligence has to skyrocket you into success.  Join us as we talk about the four categories of emotional intelligence and how you can master each one to become a more effective communicator. You’ll learn practical tips and tricks on identifying your emotions, processing them, and making the best choice not just for you but for other people around you. We talk about moments where high EQ was fundamental in changing an environment, why you should test the limits of your emotions, and even how you can pass this vital skill onto your children.  IQ scores may boast problem-solving power, but when it comes down to your future and potential in everyday life, emotional intelligence takes the cake. So grab a fork and dig in, because this is just the beginning of unlocking your unlimited potential.  To get more free content and connect with us join our private Facebook group provided in the links below!   More Of What’s Inside: The power of emotional intelligence Finding a practical level of emotional intelligence How emotions affect our memory Tips and tricks to upgrade your EQ The difference between EQ and IQ Growing your emotional vocabulary  Step by step process to dealing with emotions How you can care deeply and challenge directly  Why it’s important to manage our emotions What it means to act ‘maturely’ 4 areas to upgrade your EQ And much more!   Private Facebook Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/unlimitedpotentialpodcast  Personal Websites:  morrellfirm.com  ramcheruvu.wixsite.com/doctorram  Youtube Channel:  www.youtube.com/channel/UCtSIgawdfsNk0bk4Rwotz7w  Social Media:  www.linkedin.com/in/doctorram  https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-morrell    Episode Minute By Minute:  0:02 - A look into the episode 1:46 - What we cover today 7:52 - Returning hate with kindness 13:08 - The importance of EQ in the office 18:01 - Why we need emotions 23:39 - How to improve your EQ  28:13 - Pinpointing our exact emotion 34:17 - Having hard conversations with empathy 38:58 - Managing people with high EQ 43:19 - The struggle of juggling your emotions 48:39 - How emotions cloud our judgment 52:36 - The 4 categories of emotional intelligence 56:59 - Testing your limits and processing emotions 1:01:27 - The skill of being empathetic  1:06:47 - Why EQ may be more important than IQ 1:11:09 - Translating the skill for children 1:14:46 - Closing thoughts
