Explore how recognising and managing emotions enhances communication and relationships.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to recognise, understand, and manage your own emotions, while also being able to recognise, understand, and influence the emotions of others.
People with high emotional intelligence communicate more effectively, manage stress better, and navigate social situations with empathy. EI is key to success in both personal and professional life.
Self-awareness: Understand your emotions and how they impact your behaviour.
Self-regulation: Manage your emotions in healthy ways.
Empathy: Understand and feel what others are experiencing.
Social skills: Communicate clearly, resolve conflict, and inspire others.
Motivation: Channel your emotions toward achieving goals.
Think of a time when you were emotionally triggered — maybe at work, home, or socially. Reflect honestly: Did you understand what you were feeling? How did you respond? What impact did your emotions have?
