Emotional Intelligence - EQ
An acronym which has helped me remember EQ is PACE. Passion, Awareness, Courage, Empathy.
Passion - our ability to drive forward in our pursuits. Passion can be grown.
Awareness - our ability to observe the world and how we interact in it. Awareness can be sharpened.
Courage - our ability to overcome our fears. Courage can be strengthened.
Empathy - our ability to understand how someone else is feeling. Placing ourselves in another person’s perspective allows us to expand our empathy.
Growth in EQ via PACE grows our Compassion.
I credit much of my understanding of EQ from Tommaso Arenare’s website. I encourage people with interest to explore his writings.
