Emotional Intelligence

Content

Welcome to the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) playlist. 
Here you will learn what emotional intelligence is and will get familiar with its core parts. 
To start with, Emotional Intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. EQ gained popularity in the 1995 best-selling book "Emotional Intelligence", written by science journalist Daniel Goleman. 
Daniel Goleman presented a mixed model that represented EQ as a wide array of competencies and skills that drive leadership performance. These are the following:
Self-awareness – the ability to know one's emotions, strengths, weaknesses, drives, values, and goals and recognize their impact on others while using gut feelings to guide decisions.
Emotion regulation – involves controlling or redirecting one's disruptive emotions and impulses and adapting to changing circumstances.
Self-motivation – being aware of what motivates them.
Empathy – considering other people's feelings especially when making decisions.
Social skills – managing relationships to get along with others.
By completing the five tasks you will learn about each of the core skills, while the worksheets will help you to reflect on the knowledge received. 
And the most exciting part - you will receive the EQ Master badge proving your skills in this exciting field!

Content

Emotion regulation is one of the most challenging tasks we do every day. It's a skill that takes many years to develop reliably, and yet it seems like an essential part of living and having relationships in our modern world.
﻿
But why is emotional regulation so important? Emotion regulation aims to reduce destructive emotional patterns while promoting healthy emotional development. Watch the following videos to learn about things like the Universe of emotions and the fact that humans are able to experience around 34,000 different emotions! So, though understanding all those unique emotions is difficult, we can learn to identify the major emotions and act accordingly. The worksheet for this topic will give you an opportunity to test your knowledge of recognizing emotions and equip you with some helpful emotion regulation methods.
