Another way of thinking about emotional intelligence is the Six Seconds model:
- Know Yourself (Awareness)
- Increasing self-awareness and recognizing patterns and feelings let you understand what makes you tick and is the first step to growth.
2. Choose Yourself (Intentionality)
- Building self-management and self-direction allows you to consciously choose your thoughts, feelings, and actions (vs. reacting unconsciously).
3. Give Yourself (Purpose)
- Aligning your daily choices with your larger sense of purpose unlocks your full power and potential. It comes from using empathy and principled decision-making to increase wisdom.
