Talent Journey presented the business case and rationale for developing emotional intelligence (EQ) to our executive leadership team. Our leaders walked away with fresh insights about EQ's significance to business success. Knowing ourselves and understanding others contributes to good decision-making and organizational success as much as having the right knowledge, training and equipment. We recommend Talent Journey, because they truly care about making a difference in the success of our business. Diane Brown is the consummate professional and consistently exceeds our expectations and standards.

Managing Emotions in the Workplace: Do Positive and Negative Attitudes Drive Performance? |
You know the type: coworkers who never have anything positive to say, whether at the weekly staff meeting or in the cafeteria line. They can suck the energy from a brainstorming session with a few choice comments. Their bad mood frequently puts others in one, too. Their negativity can contaminate even good news. "We engage in emotional contagion," says Sigal Barsade, a Wharton management professor who studies the influence of emotions on the workplace. "Emotions travel from person to person like a virus."

Measuring and Assessing EQ | |
To help identify strengths and development areas in EQ, Talent Journey uses TTI's Emotional Quotient™ online report to measure five areas of emotion intelligence. These include:
Intrapersonal Emotional Quotient
- Self-Awareness - The ability to recognize and understand your moods, emotions and drives, as well as their effect on others.
- Self-Regulation - The ability to control or re-direct disruptive impulses and moods and the propensity to suspend judgment and think before acting.
- Motivation - A passion to work for reasons that go beyond money and status and a propensity to pursue goals with energy and persistence.
Interpersonal Emotional Quotient
- Social Skills - A proficiency in managing relationships and building networks.
- Empathy - The ability to understand the emotional makeup of other people.
