Greetings!
- Can people be trained to have a better level of
emotional intelligence?
- Coaching and one-to-one specialized training may
be effective.
- Successful leaders have long been developing
their levels of emotional intelligence.
A lot has been said regarding the fact that emotional
intelligence can't be taught. I've always
disagreed with that because once I became actively
engaged in learning and applying the concepts of
psychological type theory in my business and
personal life, I was able to access the ability to
respond appropriately to many situations and people
that had previously been difficult for me.
This month's article builds the case for expanding our
emotional intelligence through a deeper
understanding and use of personality type. Hopefully,
it will energize all of you to want to learn more!
| EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ) AND PERSONALITY TYPE |
 |
|
The characteristics of Emotional Intelligence
- Self-awareness
- Emotional management
- Motivation
- Interpersonal sensitivity
- Ability to influence others
- Intuitiveness
- Consciousness
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is really a combination of
a few things. What makes you behave the way you do,
what are the consequences? What happens to your
behaviors? If you are angry you can't change being
angry, but you can understand that you become
irrational of deal badly with others when you are
angry. It's understanding all that and based on that
understanding having the ability to be able to do
something about it.
Part of it is, for want of a better word, self-
awareness: Let me be self-aware, let me know
how my emotions impact on my behaviors. Secondly,
let me try and manage that and use that knowledge to
become more effective and the third piece is to
understand how other people react to situations and
why they may be behaving the way they do and then try
to adapt my behavior to try and take that into account.
An in-depth study and thorough understanding of
psychological type can aid in the development of your
emotional intelligence. Psychological type, as
developed by Dr. Carl Jung, explores people's
preferences for four mental processes - Sensing,
Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling - and their tendency to
focus more on the outer (Extraverted) or inner
(Introverted) world. These mental processes and
orientations work in a dynamic way to influence what
people see and evaluate in life, and this dynamic
affects all their choices and actions.

What clients are saying about us.....
The session that I led for our company's twenty
Human Resource & Training Professionals went very
well and the feedback I received was wonderful. The
participants truly enjoyed discovering their "type"
and learning about their peers as well. They loved
The PEOPLE Process tools and said they made it
easy
to stay engaged and gave them information in a clear
and concise way. The session lasted about 2-1/2
hours and they were hungry for more! I referred
them to the TPP participant book for further reading.
The learning session was indeed "profound" for all
the
participants. As our organization determines next
steps for The PEOPLE Process, I will keep in touch.

We have found this product to be effective in
training diplomats in negotiation and crisis
management skills, retrenched fishermen in job
seeking skills, managers in hi-tech organizations in
career development, hospital emergency-room staff
in managing conflict encounters, civil servants in time
management skills, trainers in advanced facilitation
skills, and entrepreneurs in new business start-ups.
Without exception, participants have been able to
relate easily to the use of the system, are amazed at
the uncanny accuracy of the personality type profile,
and have been able to apply The PEOPLE Process in
their daily work.

...a great tool to help team members understand
themselves and their teammates better. My clients
love it because it has been delightfully accurate and
is a practical "take-away" that they can share with
the significant people in their lives. I highly
recommend it as a key tool for facilitators to use to
assess personality type preferences.
