8 Tips for a Better Walk with Your Dog
Taking your pooch for a walk can be a struggle. He pulls your arm out of its socket and then abruptly stops to smell and sprinkle every bush and tree as you trip over him.
In my 31 years of veterinary practice and as a dog owner, I have...
Caution Date Safe
It is indeed surprising that when polled almost 35% people could recount at least one incident when they went on a date to a lonely place in a vehicle that was not their own with a person they were dating for the first time. Most are plain...
LEARNING TO LOVE OURSELVES
LEARNING TO LOVE OURSELVES
Our doubt concerning our self-worth is the main obstacle to our emotional and inter-relational harmony. This doubt is the cause of our greatest fears such as being rejected, laughed at, ignored, unloved, and most of...
The High Cost of Freedom
We enjoy great freedom in America because for more than two hundred years people have been willing to fight and die for it. Without their sacrifices, and the sacrifices of their families, we would have no freedom.
Freedom in America seems so...
WHERE DO OUR ATTITUDES COME FROM?
I believe that heredity (the genes that you inherit) have some part in forming attitudes. However, most important in shaping them, is the family environment, especially in your early childhood: the impressionable years up to the age of seven. Also...

Why You Need Coaching to Learn Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize your feelings and those of others, to motivate yourself, and to manage emotions well in yourself and others. (Goleman, 1995).
EQ can be learned, so of course we’re interested in how to measure it. Many of the tests are self-report, meaning individuals are asked to rate themselves in different categories.
The assessment Goleman created, the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI) assesses 20 emotional competencies.
It’s probably already occurred to you that someone who isn’t very high in EQ wouldn’t be able to assess their own EQ very well, because it takes awareness.
In fact one of the scales on the ECI is called Accurate Self Assessment, and measures how aware the person is of their own strengths and weaknesses.
And, yes, it turns out in a study done by Michelle Burckle, that those who scored low in Accurate Self Assessment had much larger gaps between their views of themselves and other’s views of them.
And this is interesting – those who scored high in Accurate Self Assessment rate themselves slightly less emotionally intelligent than they are perceived. And conversely, those low in Accurate Self Assessment
tend to view themselves as more emotionally intelligent than others do.
Ms. Burckle concluded that self-assessments alone could be misleading, and multi-rater assessments would be more desirable in evaluating emotional intelligence.
I believe one could also conclude that a coach is a necessary part of the mix – to have the objectivity to gather the data, use the multi-rater assessments, observe the person in action, and help them learn with feedback.
The most salient result of the research was that we aren’t good at assessing our own emotional intelligence, and it follows that we also would not be good, alone, at changing it, observing the difference, and getting it right.
