Emotional
Intelligence is that which makes the difference between
qualified and successful.
Emotional Literacy leads to personal empowerment. Our greatest power lies
in our ability to feel.
See and understand the relationship between the thinking brain (the head)
and the emotional brain (the heart). Let both work for you synergistically
and lead you to well deserved personal and professional success
Emotional Intelligence has always been there. Formal research has been
done in the field over the last 25 years and the concept has gained
importance in the management sciences only since 1995.
Research on EI involves Neuroscience, Psychology and Management Studies.
Neuroscientists have mapped neural pathways explaining how decisions are
made and how reactions can short circuit the decision making process. They
have delineated the area of the thinking cortex which modifies reactive
behavior and helps maintain focus. The parts of the brain which connect us
with our inner self and with the outer world of relationships have been
mapped and studied by PET studies.
Psychologists have discovered how values and fears govern the choices we
make. They have followed children with varying emotional competencies into
their professional lives and identified the behaviors which ensure success
in work and relationships.
Management researchers have gathered a wealth of data over 25 years based
on study of organizations of various types including the Armed Forces.
Leadership styles, emotional competencies at various levels,
organizational climate, team dynamics and attrition rates have been
studied. Their impact on performance and profits have been documented and
proved beyond a doubt in these evidence based exercises.
On this frontier of science we find a blurring of the margins between the
various disciplines of Management, Motivation and Medicine. Emotional
Intelligence is relevant to every age group and every profession with a
slight variation in emphasis on the sub sets of skills. In short it makes
good sense to become aware of ei which basically consists of:
Awareness of one's own feelings
The ability to manage one's emotional state
To sense the emotions in others
To be useful to others at an emotional level
To be able to modify the emotions and thus the behavior of others
At ei-the third eye Dr Anjana Sen who is a medical professional with 25
years of clinical experience effectively integrates the findings of the
different streams of research into a comprehensive program customized to
the needs of the target audience. This is knowledge which can be used in
everyday life!
The human being is an intelligent animal. The concept of quantifying
intelligence has been around for a long time now and tests have been
evolved to assess IQ at various ages. IQ has been found to remain static
after a certain age, yet people continue to mature and evolve. This other
intelligence makes all the difference among people of equal cognitive
abilities and knowledge. It is emotional intelligence, which steers the
individual towards personal success and professional excellence.
Given a level playing field of qualifications and learned skills the
factors that propel some and leave others behind are self-motivation,
interpersonal skills and social awareness. It has long been understood
that the virtues of self-restraint and compassion are hallmarks of
character essential for achieving greatness in any field. Only in the last
decade the concept has been given a name and science has found answers to
perplexing questions about the irrational hi-jacking of the thinking
brain.
Contact Dr. Sen for a
comprehensive talk on Emotional Intelligence with an interactive
Presentation of 2 hours. You can also opt for a 5 hour workshop module.
