EQ in the Workplace

Deb and Jen

last week, before the Baccalaureate Mass started, we had a seminar conducted by our guidance counselor entitled "EQ in the Workplace". that morning, Jen gave me a gift, a picture mosaic (pictured with us above) with our pictures in it. : ) i loved it, and i already placed it on my desk. : )

the seminar started a little late than scheduled. the speaker discussed about, obviously, EQ. that the employers are are looking for people who knows how to deal with persons, and those who know how to handle stress. there are five domains of EQ - self-awareness, self-regulation (self-control), empathy, motivation, and relationship skills. she discussed these points one by one. on how we should understand the causes and impact of our own feelings and actions on us and others, and on how we're building our own self-image. she also prepared some activities for us to participate. it was a fun learning experience, and im sure it helped us in more ways than we expected. : )

"Anyone can become angry... that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way... that is not easy."
