Importance Of Emotional Intelligence In Personal And Professional Development

Principles of Emotional Intelligence

Discuss about the Individual Design Of Professional Workshop.

Depending on the managing and controlling capability of a person the emotional intelligence is being analysed (Solomon, Costea and Nita 2016). It has been identified that the skills of emotional intelligence play an important role in the case of analysing the emotion of oneself as well as the emotion of others. It has been identified that depending on the level of emotional intelligence the leadership practices in an organization is being developed. Therefore this can be said that these skills have higher level of impact on the personal and professional life of a person. There are 5 major principles of emotional intelligence such as self-regulation, self-awareness, empathy, social skills and motivation (Austin and Saklofske 2014). Depending on these skills the nature and behaviour of a person is being influenced. A self-motivated person is more cum compared to the others who suffers with the stress and anxiety. Here the study has identified that the relationship between emotional intelligence and career development. By developing the self-awareness, the person gets the chance to increase the creativity in the workplace. On the other hand the study has mentioned passion as the important element of emotional intelligence. It has been mentioned that the passionate people always get ready to deal with the challenges they face in their life. A person without passion and dedication will not be able to deal with the challenges and in this situations they give up easily. In the year 1995, the famous psychologist.

Daniel Goleman has introduced the emotional intelligence skills and its social effects. According to the author, the emotional intelligence skill increases the patience of a person which help to improve the listening skill Howard, Healy and Boyatzis, 2017. In the case of helping others to control the emotion, the person need to be quite and cum. In the case of developing the leadership practices in the workplace, the organizations focus on developing the emotional intelligence skills. From the practical life, people learn how to gather the knowledge and skills. This is considered as the running process, which cannot be developed through training. It has been also mentioned that the cultural development in an organizations also get influenced by the emotional intelligence skills. Grunes, Gudmundsson and Irmer (2014) opined that the performance quality of a person is being influenced depending on the emotional intelligence. It has been also mentioned in this study that the behaviour and characteristics of a person is being influenced by the emotional intelligence practices.

Emotional Intelligence and Personal Development

Ego, anger and impatience are considered as the three important, influential parts of human behaviour (Heckemann, Schols and Halfens 2015). Depending on these three elements, the aggressiveness and arrogance are being increased, which impacts on the internal and external development of a person. Therefore this can be said that this is very important for adopting the emotional intelligence skills. By adopting the skill of emotional intelligence, the person gets the chance to motivate others in achieving their goals and objectives. The emotional conflicts are being solved with this skill. It has been identified that in order to bring the creativity and innovation in the workplace, the emotional intelligence skills are needed to be adopted.

As emotional intelligence has a higher level of impact on the personal and professional development, therefore this can be said that in order to bring the changes in the behaviour and characteristics. Through the emotional intelligence workshop development, the importance of emotional intelligence in the personal development has been introduced. Before starting the workshop, I have introduced my team members.

• To increase the self-motivation
• To develop personal relationship
• To develop intelligence as well as controlling ability

After introducing my team I have clarified the importance of emotional intelligence in the personal and professional development. We have clarified the aim of arranging the workshop. After that I have started introducing the emotional intelligence. I have mentioned that proper training is required in order to develop the emotional intelligence skills. This can be said that these skills are required for managing and controlling the challenges in the personal and professional life. This can be said that the rate of productivity and performance of a person get influenced by the development of the intelligence skills. By continuing that I have also mentioned that by developing the intellect of the person, the cultural relationship in the workplace can be developed. Our main focus in the workshop was to aware people about the importance of emotional intelligence in the daily life.

Not for the development if the only career. We believe that career is not life, it’s just the part of our life. We have also mentioned that in order to develop the skills, the training and development process is not the sufficient way. Achieving the goals of his life is more important in this case. The passion and dedication of the person help in the case of bringing the creativity and innovation in the workplace. This has also been mentioning by developing the skills of the person, the attitude and behaviour of the person get changed. This helps in the case of managing ego and anger. On the other hand, it has also been analysed in the workshop that there is a large number of people which have faced disappointing behaviour from their teal leaders and managers in the workplace. This has created a negative image of the managers in the mind of the listener. Therefore, it has been clearly understood by me that the organizations to which the listener belongs to, is currently dealing with the issue regarding the internal cultural management practices. In order to develop a proper plan for gaining the emotional intelligence, we have a pendulum. It has been analysed that the positive and negative energy have a higher level of impact on the process of emotional intelligence. The positive energy is the symbol of happiness, on the other hand, the negative energy is the symbol of sadness.

Emotional Intelligence Workshop

Figure: Pendulum of life

For making the workshop more attractive we have used different theories and models. By using the pendulum of life diagram, we have highlighted both the positive and negative energy. It has been mentioned that the positive energy in the human life increases the self-awareness. With the increasing rate of self-awareness the level of self-motivation increases. This is very effective in the case of controlling the emotion. Here we have also mentioned that the importance of developing the positive energy in life brings the innovation in life. On the other hand, the negative energy is very effective in the case of bringing the sadness in life. In order to analyse the situational effects we have provided the example from our daily life. As we all face faced various disappointing behaviour from our managers, friends and families. In the starting point of the relation we find them helpful and perfect. After knowing the people closely we get to analyse their negative studies. The rudeness and arrogance in their nature disappoints us and arise the question regarding their perfectness. This increases the negative energy. After long time when we get to know both the positive and negative sides of the managers, friends and colleagues, we learn how to deal with the situation by maintaining the balance. This is what the emotional intelligence stands for. I believe, emotional intelligence is not about creating positive energy or reducing the negative energy. This is about maintaining the balance between positive and negative energy in life. Here we have asked few of the participants to provide their opinion regarding the emotional intelligence. Some of them said that is very analytical process, all the skills are interconnected to each other. Some of them has said that the motivation is the ultimate skill which should be adopted by people, because by adopting the skill of motivation people will be able to learn how to deal with the challenges.

We have also analysed that passion and dedication are the two important part of emotional intelligence. This helps a person to learn how to deal with the difficult challenges rather than stepping back.  As this process is interconnected with the communicational skills, therefore people need to focus on bringing more interactive. Through the interaction process, the cultural development can be brought. I believe this is very effective in the case of developing the skills for controlling others emotion. If the person is able to gather the skill of controlling own and others emotion, this will increase the quality of managing people. This will be helping in the case of developing the career graph. After completion of the workshop, review from the participants has been collected. I believe, the initiative which has been taken by us was successful.

This has also been identified that by developing the skills, the person will be able to analyse oneself and others emotion. Here both the positive and negative energy of human has been analysed. It has also been analysed that in order to develop effective leadership practices, these skills are very important. I have also analysed that people can learn their skills from their personal experiences. I believe, if a large number of people had been involved in the workshop, it would have been better to understand. On the other hand, I have also analysed that if I had asked anyone to express their personal experiences in their workplace, this would have been more interactive and interactive procedure. From the practical examples, the matter would have been cleverer for the listener. I have also analysed that emotional intelligence is the ongoing process. People gather the skills in the different phrase in their life. In this case, the study has also highlighted the balance between the positive and negative energy in the human life.
