I have recently read Travis Bradberry’s article 18 Behaviors of Emotionally Intelligent People (click here https://bit.ly/2i0R5Ag). According to the author, here are some of the characteristics that highly emotionally intelligent persons have:
- They have an extensive emotional vocabulary,
- They are assertive and know how to say ‘no,’
- They let go of grudges (forgive but do not forget),
- They are curious (and empathetic!) about other people,
- They are flexible and embrace change,
- They know their strengths and weaknesses,
- They are open-minded and self-confident,
- They give without expecting anything in return,
- They neutralize toxic people,
- They do not seek to achieve a perfect standard,
- They regularly take time off,
- They stop and challenge negative self-talk.
