We all need to improve our emotional intelligence, and one of the main pillars of that is learning to manage ourselves. We’ve said before that first step of Emotional Intelligence is “Understanding Ourselves.”  After that, the next step is “Managing Ourselves.” This concept of self-management is critical to improving our emotional intelligence and interacting with the world. Our expert here to help us with this today is Dr. Chrissy Holm Haider.

The three big questions we have for her are: 

1. What is “Self-Management” and how does it fit into “Emotional Intelligence?”

2. What makes self-management so challenging in our modern lives?

3. What are the actual steps I can take to finally master my ability to manage myself?
