Weekly Reflection On Emotional Intelligence And Five Career Goals

Through Interpersonal Communication course I took in first semester in school, I have increased self-awareness. Every day, I keep learning more and more about myself. Not only that, but also, practice skills, and integration of knowledge and practice. For years, I have not seen self-awareness important, and also do not know my strengths and weaknesses. Though, I had an idea what my likes and dislikes were but my self-awareness was missing. Self-awareness is important because it can help us to recognize when we are stressed or under pressure. Self-awareness will also advance interpersonal relations, and also for developing empathy for others.

Reading this article and through my social work courses, it’s apparent that one of the most important skills in becoming a social worker is to be self-aware in order to become more socially competent. When we know ourselves and what we believe, we can go further in trying to understand others beliefs and why that differs from our own. However, even though this task might seem easy, being fully aware of yourself is not the easiest thing to do. When we do things, such as contemplative practices, we take the time on working towards our self-awareness, and in return could one day become a better social

He or she does not want to appear imprudent or inappropriate in front of others. Self-awareness allows one to understand other people, how they perceive one, ones attitude, and ones responses to them in the moment. Individuals actively look to one another for cues about how to behave in a certain situation. Social cues are gestures that are given, usually consciously during a social interaction that communicates a person’s thoughts, or expected actions at certain intervals of a group’s activity.

There is no total compromise on the definitions of emotional intelligence and cognitive intelligence, only varying views that identify how the two concepts differ. As Daniel Goleman puts Emotional intelligence in five sectors; managing ones own emotions, motivating oneself, recognizing, and understanding other people's emotions and managing relationships (2006), whereas cognitive intelligence is one’s intellect with reasoning, analyzing, logic and prioritizing. With emotional intelligence one should be able to communicate well, take others opinions and be considerate of others feelings, take rejection with ease, and handle confrontation. Cognitive intelligence is more of knowledge in what one does and educated

I read about Emotional Intelligence in regards to working in an office setting and medical background. I come from a medical background and I work at a hospital right now. I work in an Infection Control and Education department. I find that in my line of work you meet so many people from all walks of life. I encounter very friendly people and very rude people. I learned from reading about Emotional Intelligence in regards to "Using patients stories to better their services" that we must always pay attention to waht people say to us. I know from this article that how we treat people and how hard we work depends on the outcome of their hospital stay, doctor visit, or surgery. I know working in a hospital setting you can meet some really grumpy people but I feel like when you kill people with kindness; it may change how they react to you.

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 brings about the idea that the more someone is aware of their own emotions and other peoples emotions they will have a significant increase in personal and professional success by applying strategies from the four core emotional intelligence skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. The idea of emotional intelligence was first proposed in 1964 and since then other physiologists have added their insights and broken it down into four to five different categories. Emotional intelligence (EQ) was recently defined as one’s ability to recognize own emotions and other people’s emotions and applying this understanding to manage your behavior and relationships (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). With application to the nursing world, having high EQ knowledge will improve roles and functions of nursing, teach fellow coworkers techniques to lead, and help individuals grow in identifying emotions and further understanding one’s self.

Self-awareness is the ability to accurately perceive your own emotions in the moment and understand your reactions across situations.

Self-awareness requires me to take stock of who I am, my strengths and my weaknesses. One of my weakness is that life has been a harsh teacher and as a result, I shut down when life gets unbearable. Confusion and confrontations are difficult for me if the situation is about me. Championing others will bring out the monster in me but never having someone to stand up for me, I would pretend the person and situation did not exist. A quote from Maya Angelou impacted my life and changed the way I had been thinking:

“Emotional Intelligence is the idea that cognition and emotion are interrelated” (Noba, 2014, p. 343). Emotions are very influential in making decisions, building relationships, as well as everyday behavior. “Mayer and Salovey . . . proposed that [emotional intelligence] was a cognitive ability which is separate but also associated to, general intelligence (Mallery, n.d.).

Self-Awareness: The ability to accurately interpret your emotions and stay mindful of them as they develop.

Daniel Goleman divided Emotional Intelligence into ‘Personal’ and ‘Social’ competences, which broadly split between personal and interpersonal skills on SkillsYouNeed. Within each of these sections are a range of skills which are the elements of emotional intelligence.
