Description

The Taking Flight with EQ Quick Reference Guide is a useful tool for helping to keep the learning alive after individuals participate in the Taking Flight with EQ training program. The guide begins by reviewing the four components of Emotional Intelligence: Self-awareness, Self-management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management. Each of those components is comprised of specific talents, and they are included and defined within the guide.

People with the Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl styles demonstrate emotional intelligence differently. This guide offers ten tailored tips for each style. These tips respect each style’s specific needs and strengths, acknowledging that emotionally intelligent people don’t all look the same. Instead of creating a single, uniform picture of emotional intelligence, the Reference Guide embraces the idea that individuals from different styles will have distinct areas to develop. As a result, emotionally intelligent people reflect diverse qualities, each aligned with their natural style and strengths.

Finally, the guide includes the Wheel of Emotions. This power graphic helps people identify their emotions. As Dr. Dan Siegel said, “You have to name it to tame it.” The Wheel enables people to identify and label emotions, which is the first step in managing them.
