So…I have started doing a self-coaching course and my task for this week was to write a blog post on emotional intelligence. This obviously has made me think about what ’emotional intelligence’ really is.
I always consider myself to be quite self-aware – but I realised – with the help of a handy online quiz – that I am actually quite secretive about the traits I am less happy about.
Can you be self-aware but emotionally a bit daft some times?
It has made me consider that as well as ‘knowing myself’ I should be more open to the idea of people knowing me – I think I have prescribed to the ‘fake it until you make it’ for so long that I am a bit stuck in the ‘faking it’ stage. I have never quite ‘made it’ but I do get by and I do preserve.
I have started opening up a bit to my selected few of trusted parties. It feels a bit wobbly but it’s probably a good thing.
So, what is emotional intelligence – maybe knowing ‘yourself’ and knowing who to trust ‘yourself’ to?
