Tips to improve your Emotional Intelligence:
Ask people questions about their lives, interests, hobbies, their challenges, their families, their aspirations!
Pay attention not only to verbal cues but also to body language. It can say so much more!
Listen without judging. Tricky…but so important.
Use active listening; double check the meaning of what another person is saying by paraphrasing.
Don’t interrupt. Don’t change the subject. Let the person talk….and you listen!
Be fully present with body and mind. Never multi-task! Don’t read e-mails, take calls or think of something else.
Encourage people to speak – especially the quiet ones.
Grow in your emotional intelligence skills! Always!
