For me, emotional intelligence has truly made a difference. It's helped me bounce back from tough situations and make smarter decisions, especially when things get rough. I think that when you've got a good handle on your emotions, you're not as bothered by the fear of being rejected, criticized, or failing. It's like having this inner strength that keeps you grounded and focused on what really matters. So yes, leaning into my emotional intelligence has been essential for me, knowing how to manage my own emotions and being more self-aware. #selfgrowth #confidence #leadership #emotionalitelligence #selfhelp

As you're developing yourself emotionally, you begin to be more at ease with the pain of some emotional states. This ease with discomfort allows for emotional flexibility at a new level. You can begin to experience fear and love simultaneously or shift from pride to courage in a nanosecond. Emotional flexibility also allows for grace when others are experiencing painful emotions. Rather than follow them into fear or shame or sadness, you're able to hold your space with your emotions while granting them space to be where they are. This happens because you have relaxed, you are breathing, you are in acceptance and your emotional operating system can now run efficiently. #businesscoach #leadershipcoach #leadershipdevelopment #leadership #leadingchange #managementtraining #leadershiptraining #accountability #organizationalculture #delegation #executivecoach

Life's equation can get messy. Dwelling on what you "want to get" and holding onto resentments ("2get & 2give") creates friction. Shift the formula: Forgive past slights and let go ("4give & 4get"). This frees up mental space and fosters positive relationships. Focus on giving and watch success blossom. #positivity #growthmindset #leadership

Detachment is a powerful emotional skill, but it’s often misunderstood. Detachment is NOT about becoming cold, indifferent, or apathetic. It’s not about ignoring your emotions or cutting yourself off from others or the situation. Instead, detachment is about observing your emotions/situation without becoming overwhelmed by them. It’s a practice of separating your reaction from the situation, allowing you to respond thoughtfully instead of impulsively. True detachment allows you to acknowledge your emotions, but not let them control you. It fosters resilience and a deeper understanding of yourself and others. #EmotionalIntelligence #MindsetMatters #Leadership #EmotionalHealth #Resilience

Emotions are indicators that need to be acknowledged and understood. To increase your emotional awareness, try keep a journal tracking your emotions of the day, ask yourself: 1. What is this emotion? 2. What is it that made me feel this way? 3. Is this a recurrent emotion that lead to recurrent outcomes? 4. When did I first feel this way, in regards to this specific or similar events? 5. What are the thoughts that made me feel that way? 6. Check the validity of these emotions and feelings. 8. How did they affect your behaviour and your day? #emotionalintelligence #emotionalawarwness ##EQ #emotionalintelligencetraining #emotionalintelligencecoach #track your #emotions #leadershipcoaching #leadershipdevelopment #leadership #leadyourlife #corporatecoaching #corporatetraining #practicingemotions #habits #emotionalhabits #life #lifeskills #lifeskillscoach #personalleadership

One of the most powerful thoughts I read this morning. We often hold back, not because we fear failure, but because we fear our own potential. Marianne Williamson’s words remind us that embracing our light isn’t just an act of self-acceptance; it’s a way of inspiring others to do the same. When we let go of our doubts and fully step into who we are, we unconsciously give others permission to shine too. Don’t shrink to fit in—let your brilliance uplift others. #Leadership #Empowerment #Inspiration #LeadByExample #Motivation #Courage #Confidence #Mindset #UnlockYourPotential

"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." This powerful advice reminds us that every action we take, no matter how small, can have a significant impact. In our daily lives and work, we might underestimate the value of our efforts, but each step forward can inspire others, create opportunities, and drive positive change. Whether it's a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or a dedicated effort towards a goal, our contributions matter. Embrace this mindset, and let it fuel your actions with purpose and confidence, knowing that you have the power to make a meaningful difference. #morningpost #morningmotivation #morningroutine #morningvibes #morningthoughts #morningquotes #W_Ezz_dom #keeplearning #keeplearningkeepgrowing #keepmovingforward #keepgrowing #keeptrying #keepgoing #perseverance #persistence #consistency #commitment #leadership

✨ Reflecting on Hypocrisy and the Lesson of Glass Houses "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" is a powerful reminder of the dangers of hypocrisy. It urges us to first acknowledge our own imperfections before criticizing others. This wisdom is crucial in both our personal and professional lives. By practicing self-awareness and humility, we can foster a culture of understanding and growth. Let's aim to lead by example, offering constructive feedback with empathy and integrity. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. How do you ensure you practice self-awareness in your daily interactions? 🌿 #Leadership #Integrity #SelfAwareness #GrowthMindset
