Self-Mastery and Emotional Intelligence: The Pathway of Personal Success
Successful people are emotionally intelligent. As a matter of fact, research and experience show that emotional intelligence is more highly correlated with success than IQ. Emotional people excel at life. They step up to challenges and opportunities with the courage, determination and wisdom to win the private and public victories. This program will provide a roadmap and a set of core competencies to help you grow in emotional intelligence.
The emotionally intelligent person is alert, aware and conscious, and lives noticing what is going on within and around him or her. Understanding there is no value in comparing one's own life to that of others, he or she learns to embrace and live in harmony with reality rather than complaining, regretting, wishing, comparing and judging.
The emotionally intelligent person recognizes choices, recognizing past choices and how they have caused the reality of the present. She recognizes new choice available today and makes them for herself.
The emotionally intelligent person lives with intent, clear about vision and direction. He knows the purpose and the principles by which he wants to conduct his life. His actions are his own and his motivation comes from within.
The emotionally intelligent person lives with integrity, does not seek instant gratification, but is able to sacrifice short-term payoffs for what is strengthening in the long-run. Big things control little things. Principle dominates emotions. Doing what is right for self and others becomes a way of life.
