Sometimes, we can be so focussed on getting the job done, particularly if we’re concerned with doing it right, we can trample on people’s feelings.

A foundation part of emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to know and manage our own emotional states.

Sometimes, however, it seems that we find ourselves reacting without even realising it. We can end up doing things inappropriately or out of proportion to what has just happened—leaving us wondering, “Where did that come from?”

The fact of the matter is that no-one can motivate us. We motivate ourselves. Even the most gifted motivational speaker in the world will not move us unless our heart is touched and we choose to move in the direction being spoken about.
