What is
emotional intelligence?
The word "emotion" literally means "disturbance".
It is derived from the Latin word emovere meaning "to disturb"
(Power of Now by Ekhart Tolle). Intelligence is defined as "perception,
discernment, and mental ability" (Webster's New World Dictionary).
I use the term "emotional intelligence" to mean the capacity
by which we perceive and discern the disturbances in the physical body
and then utilize our rational processes to learn from and integrate this
experience. Developing our emotional intelligence enhances our awareness
and provides the means for enriching our living experience.
It can also be said that developing our emotional intelligence is akin to realizing our full potential. The work assists us in our process of individuating, maturing, and self actualizating.
I coach individuals and teams in developing their emotional intelligence and in creating "on-going" learning environments that sustain the developmental process.
