Why We Should All Be Emotionally Intelligent

And how to improve your Emotional Intelligence with the Aurora Fellowship Program

They told you “Study!”.

Study to be prepared, study to improve your intelligence.

And they were right. Of course you need to study in this particular moment of your life, as long as your school and university career lasts.

But that’s not all, you should study in every moment of your life.

Think about it: it is the best wish you can receive.

You should study to learn something new every day. To break the routine and feed your curiosity.

At Aurora, we are bearers of truth, as well as projected towards novelty.

And we must warn you about a downside: studying and learning may not be enough.

A high IQ, combined with great competences, usually leads to great resolution skills. However, acquiring a deep specific preparation doesn’t make your preparation complete.

Are you ready for the big reveal?

Here it is. You might need to work on your emotional intelligence.

Psychologist Daniel Goleman defines it as the ability to recognize one’s own feelings and those of others and to be able to manage emotions effectively.

Emotional intelligence is a rarer quality than one might think and it’s difficult to evaluate it, given that it is overestimated by 80% of people.

To explain it, let’s start with one word: awareness.

No, we’re not talking about those books about self-improvement that sell a million copies a month; and we’re not even giving you a piece of advice.

Awareness is a skill that finds ample confirmation in contemporary literature on personal growth, on the future of work, on the most virtuous group dynamics.

If I learn to understand my emotions, I will grow as a person.

If I grow as a person, my professional qualities will grow.

If I grow as a professional, I will improve my leadership.

Emotional intelligence has some interesting characteristics:

Let us explain briefly this thing about pleasure, because it’s interesting.

Hanging out with emotionally intelligent people is a pleasure, because usually they have great listening skills, they are empathetic and attentive.

And being like this is also pleasant, because people who are emotionally intelligent have: control, perseverance, the right amount of enthusiasm and attention to others.

Charismatic leaders who take care of others live well and find ways to make others live well too.

And now, cards down.
