"Understanding Emotional Intelligence in Six Seconds."

Inside Change: Transforming Your Organization with Emotional Intelligence
by Joshua Freedman, Massimiliano Ghini, MBA

Many times the books on leadership focused on systems, management, etc., not taking into account the complex (and powerful!) system of our emotions. Josh Freedman integrate much of the new neuroscience with a comprehensive look and analysis of how people can make successful change by honoring the people involved, integrating emotional intelligence skills, in conjunction with keen business sense.

There is so much to offer in this book, it is like reading an"Operational Manual" in each chapter. This is a must read for those who are looking for ways to change, starting from the inside!

Joshua Freedman, author of "Inside Change"

     

The above video is the results of a team of educators ,versed in an experiential approach to learning that's both joyful and meaningful, wanted to be sure their organization maintained a commitment to distilling big ideas into bite-sized pieces.

The research says it takes around six seconds for those molecules of emotion to get absorbed back into your body after you've had a reaction. For someone to recognize the feeling of compassion -- and it was around six seconds.

Thus, Joshua Freedman's organization was named "Six Seconds"

It takes six seconds to manage anger.
It takes six seconds to create compassion.
It takes six seconds to change the world.

There is science behind the name and the flood that is triggered, delivered, and absorbed in about six seconds of even emotion. Understanding Emotional Intelligence in Six Seconds.

Using Emotional Intelligence to Transform Negative Emotions   
ron Stock

The 2009 "Stress in America Survey" by the American Psychological Association (APA) highlighted the rising levels of stress Americans continue to experience. The APA's executive director, expressed concern over the trend of increasing and extreme stress levels and indicated the need for methods for people to more effectively manage their stress. One approach may present a solution. Developing Emotional Intelligence skills helps people to transform negative emotions and go beyond just managing stress. When we develop these skills we begin to master rather than react to our environment.


The daily challenges we face both at home and at work bring about a certain level of stress. As these challenges grow and accelerate, our stress levels are compounded. Add to this global issues such as the recent government bailout, the unknowns about healthcare reform, catastrophes such as the tsunami in the Indian Ocean and the earthquake in Haiti along with the sense of inadequacy when help is slow in arriving and we can feel our stress levels compound exponentially.

We tend to react emotionally as we are continuously assaulted with daily stressors whether large or small. We feel helpless as we find ourselves, in a perpetual state of negative emotional energy. Further, we are typically unaware that we are living in this negative emotional state. And because we are oblivious to this, we are unlikely to change. So what can be done?

We can begin to change this situation by recognizing our emotions. We need to identify our feelings, our emotions, naming them (happy, sad, fearful, anxious, etc.) as we progress through our day. Writing down each of these feelings or set of feelings, we can generate a simple emotional map. Placing the feelings on a four-quadrant grid where the upper quadrants are "high-energy" and the lower quadrants are "low-energy" emotions with the right side being "positive" and the left "negative," we begin to see where we are investing our emotional energy.


If, at the end of the day or week, we find ourselves mostly in the "stress zone" (the left two quadrants), we gain an awareness of the need to move toward the "peak performance zone" - the zone where most successful people operate. With this awareness, we can start making choices to transform negative emotions into positive productive emotions and begin our journey to master our environment.
