Using Emotional Intelligence Is A Woman Leader's Secret Weapon

Using Emotional Intelligence Is A Woman Leader's Secret Weapon | information analyst | Scoop.it
From www.forbes.com - November 4, 2016 5:15 PM

As an FBI counterintelligence agent, I relied heavily upon emotional intelligence to be successful in identifying foreign spies and recruiting them to work for the U.S. government.

Emotional intelligence is your ability to 1) identify and manage your own emotions; 2) pick up on the emotions of others and manage them; and 3) in so doing, build trust and grow influence.

 

It is not necessarily a skill that people associate with FBI agents. Loud, boisterous, and pushy behavior may get attention, but it certainly does not get respect.

 

Meanwhile, a softer skill like emotional intelligence often goes unnoticed because it is not related to book smarts or a formula that includes aggressive behavior relying upon intimidation to be effective.

Granted that women might have better skill sets in the form of emotional intelligence, men too can develop the same skills through training. It is not surprising that more women are Principals in schools than men!

How to Give an Emotionally Intelligent Presentation

How to Give an Emotionally Intelligent Presentation | information analyst | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - September 27, 2016 7:19 PM

Emotions play an active role in almost all of our decision making. That's one reason why emotional intelligence, the ability to identify, understand, and manage those emotions, is such an invaluable skill. 

 

But how specifically does emotional intelligence help us with our daily tasks? Here are three tips to make sure your next presentation is emotionally intelligent:

1. Don't get anxious. Get excited.

All of us get nervous before a presentation, even if we've done it hundreds of times. So take that nervousness and turn it into something positive: enthusiasm.How do you do that exactly?

Spend those final few moments reviewing your favorite parts of the presentation. Remind yourself why you're doing this, and focus on the value you have to deliver to your listeners.

Now, take that enthusiasm and give a talk that you passionately believe in.

A mentor told me some years ago to get over myself when it comes to speaking and presentations. She said that we are there to serve the room not to focus on ourselves. This short article will help if you are nervous about speaking or presenting.

The Learning Factor's insight: View your presentation from your audience's perspective instead of your own.
