To improve your emotional intelligence you will need to focus and improve four areas of your overall emotions. They are:
1) YOUR SELF AWARENESS – To be self aware is to know how your behaviour and your thoughts are affected by your different emotions. Self awareness is also being aware of your emotional strengths and weaknesses. Self awareness will give you self confidence.
2) YOUR SOCIAL AWARENESS – To be socially aware is to pick up on and understand the emotional state and needs of other people. It is also having the ability to be empathetic towards others. If you are socially aware you are generally comfortable in gathering and are aware of group dynamics.
3) YOUR RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT – To be able to effectively manage your relationships means you can communicate well, work well in teams and groups, have influence, are able to reduce conflict, and keep excellent relations with all those around you.
