"The Emotional Competencies
In the past decade, Goleman has revised his core EI capacities expanding the category of social awareness to social intelligence. Goleman explained, “When I wrote Emotional Intelligence, my focus was on a crucial set of human capacities within an individual, the ability to manage our own emotions and our inner potential for positive relationships. Here the picture enlarges beyond a one-person psychology—those capacities an individual has within—to a two-person psychology: what transpires as we connect.”
While not in agreement with all of Goleman’s categories, our work in developing EI centers on the same four core emotional competencies:

Here the picture enlarges beyond a one-person psychology—those capacities an individual has within—to a two-person psychology: what transpires as we connect.”
While not in agreement with all of Goleman’s categories, our work in developing EI centers on the same four core emotional competencies:
- Self Awareness (emotional awareness, accurate self-assessment)
- Self-Management ( emotional self-control, self-regulation, emotional literacy, trustworthiness, resiliency, self-motivation, optimism)
- Social Intelligence (social awareness, empathy, interpersonal effectiveness)
- Relationship Management (inspiration, influence, conflict management, assertiveness, collaboration)
- Self-Awareness – Once again the preeminent skill. The challenge is that development of this skill is never “done.” It is, essentially, a moment by moment opportunity. Skillful self-awareness transforms us from reactors to external (and internal) stimuli to responders and even, creators, of our own experience. Author David Rock refers to the “attentional blink,” the time gap required between identifying different stimuli (such as, one thought or feeling after another) . Usually we have ½ second before the mind can be free to think about something new."

"The Red Tree (2001), written and illustrated by Shaun Tan, is a picture book that presents a fragmented journey through a dark world. The illustrations are surreal. The text is sparse and matches the dark illustrations.
The story is based on images inspired by the experience of depression. The main character is a lonely red-headed girl. A red leaf from a red tree follows the girl through her day; it states how she feels and depicts her worries. Almost unnoticed in each picture is a small red leaf (symbolising hope). At the end, the little girl stands smiling at a beautiful red-leafed tree growing in her bedroom. This book is one of many picture books by Tan, also addressing issues such as immigration and cultural differences." as found June 30/14 @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Tree_(Shaun_Tan) |
