How To Improve Emotional Intelligence

Do you ever feel that business as a whole can be hostile? Maybe you have a boss that doesn’t appreciate you. Or a client that treats you like dirt. No matter what your place is on the career ladder, I bet you’ve felt misunderstood somewhere in your career. Every day people feel left out, unappreciated, and mistreated at work. And consequently, they suffer. Let’s face it. Business is not always fun. Some might argue “that’s just the way it is.” But I think we can easily improve the business landscape by getting better at one thing: Emotional Intelligence. Everyone has heard of it. But what is it? How do you get better at it? And how can you use it to get better at business? Emotional intelligence (EI) is a term that’s been popularized by John Mayer, from the University of New Hampshire

LEADERS LEAD YOURSELF

It is impossible to be able to lead others before we have learnt the art of leading ourselves. A leader must lead from a place of progress in personal victories. Whilst it is also true that our strength is in our ability to connect through our brokenness, this only remains true for as long as we are learning to live well in and through our brokenness.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.  Psalm 23:4-6 Some incredible thoughts about Jesus, our Good Shepherd, that King David gets from his experience as a shepherd.

Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, which he promised to his people. You are serving the Lord Christ.  Colossians 3:23,24  Abraham, a wealthy man, with many servants goes out of his way, personally to run to and serve 3 strangers passing by.  He shows due respect, he goes above and beyond what was expected, he is the servant of servants.   But WHY?  Why would he do this? Why would we do this? Why do we do this?  WHY SERVE?  I have called the philosophy of serving, SERVOLOGY - why not?! 1.  SERVOLOGY knows who it serves Abraham hears God, leaves his home land and begins a journey to a new and unknown place.  God's great myst
