You Are More Than What You Do
SUMMARY
Are you constantly being judged by your ability, your ability to do what it is that you are an expert in?
Let me help you understand that you are much more than that.
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Leadership and Sustainable Performance Coach. Today, I want to continue the conversations around the shifts you need to make in your personal leadership by helping you look at your intelligence in a different way.
The type of intelligence I am referring to helps you shift from a singular focus on your technical skills to embracing the multiple competencies you already have. The two types of intelligence I work on here are emotional intelligence and social intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is your ability to be aware of what is going on in the moment with your emotions.
Social intelligence is your ability to understand what could be going on emotionally in another person, and then manage that relationship in a way that eliminates stress and conflict.
Stick with me. More videos are coming this week. I will see you then.
TRANSCRIPT
Are you constantly being judged by your ability, your ability to do what it is that you are an expert in?
Let me help you understand that you are much more than that.
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Leadership and Sustainable Performance Coach. Today, I want to continue the conversations around the shifts you need to make in your personal leadership by helping you look at your intelligence in a different way.
A lot of people in professional services focus on their technical ability. However, there is another type of intelligence that you really need to focus on — emotional intelligence and social intelligence.
The type of intelligence I am referring to helps you shift from a singular focus on your technical skills to embracing the multiple competencies you already have that are valuable and will help you be the leader you are called to be.
Emotional intelligence is your ability to be aware of what is going on in the moment with your emotions. One of the first things I want you to understand is that emotions are a good thing. They are a vital, important part of who you are. Never do you want to manage your emotions. No. You want to navigate them. What you do want to manage is your response to them.
While emotional intelligence is about you, social intelligence is about others. It is your ability to understand what could be going on emotionally in another person, and then manage that relationship in a way that eliminates stress and conflict, and is beneficial for both of you.
Emotional intelligence is not something you can buy at the supermarket and consume daily. It is something you must learn and build incrementally. And I would love to help you do that. Stick with me. I will see you then.
