I’ve been doing a lot of Emotional Intelligence Coaching recently.💡

The great thing about EI is that it can be developed (unlike IQ which is static). It doesn’t mean it’s easy, we’re talking about behaviour change, and I’ve been reminding clients that growth doesn’t happen within your comfort zone. Making changes and trying out new behaviours is going to feel uncomfortable, and it takes time.

Reflection is an important part to build into your development when you’re experimenting and trying out new behaviours.

Take time afterwards to think about what went well? (acknowledge yourself for the progress!) What didn’t go so well? And what will you do differently next time? Remember that you won’t always get things right the first time - keep practising, keep growing! ✨

I’ve recommended this book to so many clients and friends over the last year, so thought I would share it with you as well! (I’m now re-reading). As we constantly try to fit more and more into our busy lives, we’re obsessed with our (sometimes multiple) calendars, inboxes and long to-do lists. As we constantly strive to ‘get everything done’ we can become more and more anxious (and perhaps feel more empty).

In the book, psychologist Oliver Burkeman explores the question of how we can best use our time on this planet, on average about 4,000 weeks. He rejects our modern obsession with ‘getting everything done’ and provides tools for building a meaningful life by embracing our limitations.

‘What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?’
