Improving Emotional Intelligence Part 1: Emotions vs Behavior | #culturedrop | Galen Emanuele

This week's #CultureDrop is the first of a series that we'll be sprinkling in on how to become more emotionally intelligent. Part one is about emotions vs. behavior with some how-to tips.

Through conference keynotes and (in-person or virtual) team workshops, Galen transforms how teams and leaders approach and establish culture, and the way people communicate and treat each other at work. He has an impressive portfolio of clients including Microsoft, Safeway/Albertsons, and NASA.

Galen’s captivating content teaches how to establish an intentional team culture of high-level engagement and performance, skyrocket leadership ability, skillfully give & receive feedback, and apply the improv concept of “Yes, And” to improve communication and EQ.

This is great in times of negative emotions, but if you are experiencing positive and loving emotions, then I say please show the emotion, don't hold back. Passion is awesome and showing passion breeds passion. Who wants a dull or matter of fact way of hearing "I love you" or "I want you"; it doesn't feel genuine without the emotion.

Thanks Galen! This is a big area of development for me. I am working on controlling my behavior rather than having my emotions control me. I find that good self-care helps me have the energy to do this better.

A skill that requires constant practice and awareness. Thanks. Aces as always

I also keep hearing that "emotions last around 90 seconds", so practicing a pause and reset (acknowledging the feeling and then focusing on something else to redirect) when you're not in that situation will help when you do get into that heightened emotional space.

"feelings are not the truth"- something to remember, especially when you want to "trust your gut"

Thank you! I've always struggled with this.

I need to practice this with my very strong-willed child! ;-)
