Emotional Intelligence
Effective communication is perhaps the most essential skills of our life. It helps us to share
information to others and to understand what we have been told. An effective communication
means a communication among two or more people in which the message is sent, interpreted
and understood successfully. I have been learning about the effective communication on my
college. On the lecture about effective communication skills, I learned about emotional
intelligence.
Emotional intelligence refers to a person's ability to manage and control their emotions and also
to control other people's emotions for the effective communication among one another.
Emotional intelligence affects the both the parties involving in communication. I learned that
emotional intelligence is different from one’s personality and it changes while personality and
IQ of a person becomes more plastic.
Emotional intelligence mainly consists of these four skills which are self-knowledge, self-control
and motivation, empathy and social skills. Awareness of one’s emotion helps us in self-
improvement and social awareness helps us to establish good relationship with others. I also
learned various ways of enhancing emotional intelligence such as meditation, emotional
control, self-motivation, being thankful, acknowledging one’s weakness and being humble. You
should have knowledge to react perfectly in any situations and should have a strong spirit to
experience new situation and accept any challenges in life. These things will really help you to
expand your emotional intelligence.
I learnt a lot about emotional intelligence. Now I am going to talk about why do we need
emotional intelligence and what are its benefits. The skill of emotional intelligence shows the
real you, it provides you the positive energy that you will need while running through tough
paths. You will have better co-operation and good relationship with your colleagues in your
group. Finally, these all things will help you to gain leadership, good moral, self-motivation and
outstanding productivity. Therefore, emotional intelligence plays a key role in improving your
skill and we should expand our skill of emotional intelligence to achieve what we are seeking.
