As the Emotional Intelligence quadrant illustrates, there are two major categories of EQ: how we relate to self and how we relate to others. Over the past two blogs we’ve explored the importance of self-awareness and self-management. Today and next week we will discuss how we bring awareness and management to our relationships with others.

Self-Awareness: What's Going On Inside of Me?

You know those moments when something or someone startled and you gasp or jump back? Or when your eyes well up with tears and you feel your nose flaring? Or when your pulse starts racing and your face gets flushed? Or when you are so overcoming with joy that you scream and jump up and down?

Fun with the Enneagram

I'm a big Enneagram fan. I really appreciate the impact it has made in my life and the ways it has helped me change and grow. I also enjoy using it with individuals and teams in my coaching practice to help with self-awareness, communication and transformation.

Why The Enneagram?

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to present an Introduction to the Enneagram workshop at Journey Church in Southern California. Almost one-half of the church showed up with most of them having not been exposed to the Enneagram before that night. As happens every time I present material about the Enneagram, there were so many "aha" moments for people. One person said "it's so strange how this tool knows me better than I know myself!"
