Update: ‘Emotional intelligence, the value of emotion 2.0’ is out!

Read in this free e-book about the value of emotions as signposts

Mindsets and overcrowded thought paths: develop your emotional intelligence!

Almost nothing is as complex as the (Western) human being and his world of thought. Several people together increase the possibilities, but often also the problems.
Last week a coachee sighed to me: ‘I know all those communication books and methods. But why do they not work for me?!’ Let me tell you: her IQ is above average... The key is a well developed EQ in which reason and emotion go hand in hand.

Getting to know yourself is one thing, recognising the triggers two, building up an understanding of people three, building a relationship four, maintaining them... and so on. All building blocks for daily life. Being able to deal with loss and pain is also such an important building block. Emotional agility is crucial in developing resilience in circumstances that evoke these emotions. The wonderful thing about this, and about emotional intelligence, is that they can be developed. Perfection is not the goal, but it gives you handholds to get back on your feet more quickly.

In my first book ‘Emotional intelligence, the value of emotions’, within the format of 58 pages, I offered a theoretical framework as well as practical exercises. There I write about the 15 skills that help to develop an effective performance. I did not come up with these myself; they are based on the EQ-i 2.0®, because emotional intelligence is measurable. The EQ-i 2.0® was developed by MHS / Pen Diagnostics (now Pearson Clinical) in collaboration with the Catholic University of Nijmegen. This test is regarded as the most reliable in this field and can be used as a tool.

On the basis of recent scientific research, adjustments have been made. For example, the scale ‘Happiness’ has been replaced, because this is more a consequence of well developed emotional intelligence. ‘Emotional expression’ has been added and indicates how constructively you express emotions. This test can be taken in a business, private as well as a study context.
