Social skills, the 5th major category of emotional intelligence is where all of the other skills and competencies of emotional intelligence are applied. Interacting with other people is a huge part of life. The better we do that, the better our outcomes. Learn very practical ways to practice social skills at the highest levels.

Empathy, a skill and competency of EQ (emotional intelligence), is a

doorway to a deeper understanding of other people. If you could

understand what someone else is feeling, their perceptions, and what is

driving them, would that be helpful in connecting and communicating with

them? Absolutely! Empathy accelerates success and satisfaction in life and in work.

Motivation, especially internal or intrinsic motivation, is critical to supply the energy you need to achieve. While external motivators (money, appreciation, recognition, social media likes) do provide a boost in motivation, it is usually short lived. Internal motivation, that originating in your beliefs, values, and standards, is motivation you can rely on no matter the circumstances you find yourself in. Motivation is the energy source for our efforts. The greater your internal motivation, the more you can count on having enough energy to accomplish what you desire.

Self-regulation is a critical skill for navigating life and work. Self-regulation is the ability to be more intentional more often. Less reacting and more responding. The challenge is how to deal with the emotional aspects generated in specific situations. The more we can use the energy from those emotions as a strategic resource, the better our decisions, actions, and outcomes.

Self-awareness is the foundation for growing emotional intelligence. The greater the self-awareness, the more someone can be intentional in their decisions and actions for the best outcomes.

In the chaos of the last few years, many things have changed. Some of these things are very visible while others are more subtle. One of the trends that is more subtle is the diminishing levels of healthy urgency. That inner drive to move things forward to completion. The reason for this change may be more than we think.
