3. Why You Need Coaching to Learn Emotional Intelligence - by Susan Dunn, MA, Clinical Psychology, The EQ Coach |
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Emotional
intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize your feelings and
those of others, to motivate yourself, and to manage emotions
well in yourself and others. (Goleman, 1995). EQ can be learned, so of course we're interested in how to measure it. Many of the tests are self-report, meaning individuals are asked to rate themselves in different categories. The assessment Goleman created, the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI) assesses 20 emotional competencies. It's probably already occurred to you that someone who isn't very high in EQ wouldn't be able to assess her / his own EQ very well, because it takes awareness. In fact one of the scales on the ECI is called Accurate Self Assessment, and measures how aware the person is of their own strengths and weaknesses. And, yes, it turns out in a study done by Michelle Burckle, that those who scored low in Accurate Self Assessment had much larger gaps between their views of themselves and other's views of them. And this is interesting - those who scored high in Accurate Self Assessment rate themselves slightly less emotionally intelligent than they are perceived. And conversely, those low in Accurate Self Assessment tend to view themselves as more emotionally intelligent than others do. Ms. Burckle concluded that self-assessments alone could be misleading, and multi-rater assessments would be more desirable in evaluating emotional intelligence. I believe one could also conclude that a coach is a necessary part of the mix - to have the objectivity to gather the data, interpret the multi-rater assessments, observe the person in action, and help them learn with feedback. The most salient result of the research was that we aren't good at assessing our own emotional intelligence, and it follows that we also would not be good, alone, at changing it, observing the difference, and getting it right.

5. Inspirational Story: The Brick - sent by Muralidharan Ramakrishnan A young, successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting in and out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what are you doing?" Building up a head of steam he went on. "That's a new car, and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?" "Please, mister, please. I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do," pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop." Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother. He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair, and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to his Jaguar, a long, slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention. " It's your choice: Listen to the whisper -- or wait for the brick.
