The Human Optimization Project: Emotional Intelligence Explained | How to Recognize, Understand, and Use Your Emotions to Be a More Effective Human

Host: Christopher L. Camp, M.D.

Guest: Mary Ann Djonne, M.Ed.

Most of us have heard the term “Emotional Intelligence,” and we understand that it’s generally important to our happiness and interpersonal relationships. However, most of us aren’t able to define it precisely or understand the key components that make it up. While many may think they do a good job of evaluating the emotional intelligence of others, it can be quite difficult to objectively evaluate our own levels of emotional intelligence. Once we better understand our own emotional intelligence, then comes the very challenging task of trying to improve it in a meaningful way. All of this can seem quite daunting, so we are going to help with that.

The three big questions we will tackle in this episode are:

1) What exactly is “Emotional Intelligence”?

2) What are the benefits and why should I make it a priority to improve my Emotional Intelligence?

3) What are the actual steps I can take to maximize my own Emotional Intelligence?

To help us answer these questions, my guest today is Mary Ann Djonne, Professional Certified Executive Coach and Senior Advisor in Work Force Learning at Mayo Clinic.
