What Comes Next

If you've checked off most of this list, you're ready for the Using Emotions stage, recognizing recurring emotional patterns and practicing non-judgmental acceptance of uncomfortable emotions. Mayer, Salovey, & Caruso(2004)'s four-branch ability model suggests building on emotion perception by observing and recording your body signals for 30 seconds each time an emotional shift occurs during work.

Emotional Intelligence

Recognizing, regulating, and applying your own and others' emotions to enhance relationships and decisions, from self-management to org-level culture.
