Today we’re looking at emotional intelligence (EQ) and how essential having a high EQ score is to your professional and personal success and development.
In today’s workplace - workplace performance and career success, and even employee health, which were once thought to be a function of someone’s IQ – or intelligence quotient - are, in fact, tied in with EQ – or someone’s emotional intelligence.
If you’re unfamiliar with EQ - it’s each person’s ability to recognise, understand, and manage their emotions and those of others. The emotional Intelligence Quotient (EQ) is the measure of that ability.
That’s what today’s podcast is all about. Developing and improving your EQ will not only help your personal relationships and life but will also dramatically improve your professional life as well.

00:00:20.445 --> 00:00:22.725
I'm your show host Julie South.
00:00:23.114 --> 00:00:34.935
Today, we're looking at emotional intelligence and how essential having a high EQ score is to your professional and personal success.
00:00:34.994 --> 00:00:40.229
Intoday's workplace, workplace performance and career success.
00:00:40.259 --> 00:00:47.579
And even employee health were once thought to be the function of someone's IQ or intelligence quotient.
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.659
In fact, they are tied to eat.
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:55.229
Or someone's emotional intelligence.
00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:05.269
If you're unfamiliar with EQ it's each person's ability to yours and mine to recognize, understand and manage our emotions.
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:13.400
And those of ours, the emotional intelligence quotient, w E Q is the measure of that ability.
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.469
That's what today's podcast is all about.
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:27.090
Developing and approving your IQ will not only help your personal relationships in life, but what also dramatically improve your professional life as well.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.659
Today, we're looking at what is.
00:01:30.989 --> 00:01:36.689
And then 12 different phrases that people with poorly developed EEQ use.
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.730
So you can watch out for them and the games that they might play.
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.069
An old vet told my father when he was a student in Glasgow.
00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:52.254
He said, if you want to be a success in veterinary practice, Just keep the bowels open and just arrested.
00:01:52.254 --> 00:01:52.644
God.
00:01:53.924 --> 00:01:55.185
Nutrition is not an opinion.
00:01:55.185 --> 00:01:55.965
It's a science.
00:01:57.344 --> 00:01:59.144
They called me that weird herbal needle.
00:01:59.144 --> 00:02:04.305
That, and I, I just remember thinking, well, I'm still gonna do it cause I know it works.
00:02:04.305 --> 00:02:15.465
And I've got the research to back it from reminiscences of the real James Harriet son to Pitt nutrition, to acupuncture the big podcast, discusses current animal health issues from around the world.
00:02:16.115 --> 00:02:20.224
I'm visionary and Brian greeter from New Zealand, just search for the fit podcast.

And everywhere in between as well as helping Kiwis fit staff also hubs overseas, qualified veterinarians find work and Arturo and New Zealand fit staff.co dot indeed.
00:03:01.764 --> 00:03:10.615
Social intelligence takes its root and Charles Darwin's work, which states that emotional expression is prerequisite for when survivors.
00:03:11.715 --> 00:03:15.615
It's been expanded on and research since Darwin by others.
00:03:15.944 --> 00:03:32.354
The term emotional intelligence was created originally by two researchers, Peter, sorry, LaVoy and John Mayer and their article, emotional intelligence and the journal imagination, cognition and personality back in 1980.
00:03:33.405 --> 00:03:43.514
E Q or emotional intelligence was later popularized by Daniel Goldman in his book, emotional intelligence, which he wrote in 1996.
00:03:43.965 --> 00:03:46.305
You'll hear more from Daniel Goleman next week.

00:04:04.645 --> 00:04:18.024
But back to emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence involves a mix of several competencies that help us become aware and have control of our emotions and our behavior.
00:04:18.745 --> 00:04:25.435
This explains why the most successful people in the workplace are those with high emotional intelligence.
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:34.920
Eight Q is founded on two broad competencies, personal competence and social competence combined.
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.069
These broad competencies provide the required skillset for managing ourselves and others.
00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:41.939
Effectively.
00:04:42.569 --> 00:04:47.970
Personal competencies equip us as individuals with the skills to manage ourselves.
00:04:48.269 --> 00:04:53.189
These skills include self-awareness self-regulation and self-motivation.
00:04:54.180 --> 00:05:17.670
Looking at these one by one self awareness, as one of the pillars of emotional intelligence, being able to identify our own and others' strengths, weaknesses, emotions, and intuition gives a sense of clarity and ensures good decision-making and provides each of us with our own individual scenes of words.
00:05:18.810 --> 00:05:32.970
Regardless of your academic degrees or fund of knowledge on all things veterinary in your clinic, a poor sense of self-awareness will impair your ability to thrive and succeed in your clinic.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.750
Maybe, you know, some people, people that have alphabet spaghetti or alpha whole alphabet.
00:05:40.850 --> 00:05:40.939
Yeah.
00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:46.129
After the name with the degrees and post-grad degrees or more degrees, but yeah.
00:05:47.894 --> 00:06:01.574
They can't thrive socially accurate recognition of your emotions and thought processes forms a strong basis for building on your strengths and capabilities to make smart decisions.
00:06:02.415 --> 00:06:06.524
Self regulation is also a by-product of self-awareness.
00:06:08.430 --> 00:06:13.589
Self-regulation as a skill that helps you manage your disruptive emotions.
00:06:13.829 --> 00:06:24.829
Those like anger and frustration, manage stress appropriately become more adaptable and flexible and open to innovative thoughts and approaches.
00:06:25.069 --> 00:06:33.589
In other words, self regulation is your ability to influence your thoughts and emotions to become more efficient and productive.
00:06:34.904 --> 00:06:42.314
People who are better at self-regulating are better equipped, emotionally to handle stressful situations.
00:06:43.095 --> 00:06:46.485
You'll be better at accepting failure and moving forward.
00:06:46.875 --> 00:06:53.745
You'll also be able to hold off a reflex emotional response to a stressor until later.
00:06:54.194 --> 00:07:01.334
In other words, you'll be able to hold off your anger and frustration in one hand and get on with doing the job with the.
00:07:02.625 --> 00:07:09.314
It won't be you having the two year old temper tantrums, just because something doesn't go your way.
00:07:10.035 --> 00:07:17.144
This is completely different to burying people with high E cues, don't bury their emotions.
00:07:17.384 --> 00:07:24.165
They manage them appropriately, even the frustrating and even the frustration and the anger.
00:07:25.754 --> 00:07:45.134
Their ability to restrain comes from understanding that immediately response to a stress or as often negative and irrational and inhibiting a reflex reaction at that time often allows them to rethink and express their response in a mature and positive way.
00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:52.920
People who respond to situations like kids have yet to master the art of self regulation.
00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.079
They have temper tantrums.
00:07:55.949 --> 00:07:57.629
They don't count to 10.
00:07:59.069 --> 00:08:13.889
If you can hear that noise in the background right now at rain self-motivation is one of the key principles of a cue self-motivation is the force that keeps pushing you to go on.
00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:20.790
It's your internal drive to achieve, produce, develop, and keep moving forward.
00:08:21.509 --> 00:08:26.480
When you think you're ready to quit something, or you just don't know how to start yourself.
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:36.350
Motivation is what pushes you to continue and intrinsic drive to achieve your goals as a critical factor in workplace success.
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:42.889
If you're intrinsically motivated, you do something without any obvious external reward.
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:52.950
You do it because it's enjoyable and interesting rather than because of an outside incentive or pressure such as a reward or a deadline.
00:08:53.789 --> 00:09:05.519
If you're intrinsically motivated, you're more likely to be optimistic about your success, more committed individual and shared goals, but able to recognize and use opportunities.
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:12.029
And you're more likely to take initiative and make smart decisions in reaching your goals.
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.450
People with these competencies sound like great people to have on your team.
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:27.570
And you probably know of some of those social competencies are the skills that help us manage our relationships effectively.
00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:32.100
Being socially competent is critical to professional success.
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:38.879
Employees with high EEQ are better able to create a productive work environment.
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.179
Those social skills include intuition, empathy, and social responsibility.
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:59.669
Intuition refers to the ability to understand others feelings and perspectives at your ability to pick up emotional cues of others and to recognize the basis for someone else's behavior.
00:10:00.269 --> 00:10:13.830
If your intuition as well developed, you're better equipped to understand your and your clients and colleagues needs help others recognize and boost their strengths and create a better work environment.
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:15.480
By leveraging diversity.
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:25.159
Empathy is a clear sign of emotional intelligence, and this is the corollary to self-worth and being intuitive.
00:10:26.235 --> 00:10:33.164
Valuing yourself and recognizing your sense of self-worth reflects on how you value others.
00:10:33.914 --> 00:10:39.615
I'm sure you know the saying in order to love someone else, you must first love yourself.
00:10:39.975 --> 00:10:52.634
And that's where empathy comes into play here, recognizing and valuing other people's needs and concerns as fundamental to creating a thriving veterinary clinic investment.
00:10:53.879 --> 00:11:06.539
When you have a well-developed sense of your own worth, you're more likely to promote mutual respect and compassion toward your colleagues and encourage the individual and professional growth.
00:11:07.169 --> 00:11:18.360
If you have a strong sense of social responsibility, you'll be one of those people who help create an adeptness to motivate others, to have desirable behaviors as well.
00:11:19.394 --> 00:11:27.225
When you had this skill, you'll have influencing tactics that inspire others to want to be and perform better.
00:11:28.034 --> 00:11:37.065
You'll be one of those individuals where people on your team are self motivated to always want to step up around you at your clinic.
00:11:37.245 --> 00:11:44.835
You'll be seen as a change catalyst, someone who inspires and motivates others to be the best they can be.
00:11:46.259 --> 00:12:08.370
People who are like, this are also better able to handle and resolve conflict involving themselves or between others because of their commitment to the shared vision, emotionally intelligent people build bonds and foster collaboration between coworkers supporting and inspiring everyone to achieve common goals.
00:12:09.465 --> 00:12:16.065
If this is you, you're likely to be more open to other people's ideas and less likely to be boss.
00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:31.049
When it comes to staff selection, most clinics, I work with tend to use a job applicant, educational attainment, work experience, and a knowledge base as their selection criteria during recruitment.
00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:36.539
This means that they generally have little consideration for how the individual relations.
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.330
Others or how they're handled stress and failure.
00:12:40.330 --> 00:12:46.480
For instance, whilst qualifications, especially in the veterinary sector, as veterinarians are critical.
00:12:46.690 --> 00:12:50.980
So two is having well developed emotional intelligence.
00:12:51.850 --> 00:13:03.639
If you don't factor each cue into your selection process, I'd like to encourage you to do so as there a studies confirming the link between high ETQ and excellent work performance.
00:13:04.409 --> 00:13:31.769
For example, a fortune 500 company had prioritized personality assessment tests for selecting candidates for many years, despite the high turnover in it sales department, after incorporating emotional intelligence based criteria to the recruitment process and emotional intelligence training for its staff, it recorded an increase in annual profit by about 32 million us dollars.
00:13:32.669 --> 00:13:36.840
With a 67% retention of staff in the first year.
00:13:37.649 --> 00:13:46.289
This has because high E Q work environments usually have highly engaged employees, low EEQ environments.
00:13:46.289 --> 00:13:53.129
On the other hand, breed employee burnout, reduced productivity and high churn or staff.
00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:03.389
Another study conducted by a company in Dallas and the U S to compare the productivity levels between employees with low EQs.
00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:13.049
And those with high IQ discovered that workers with high emotional intelligence were 20 times more productive than those with low scores.
00:14:14.115 --> 00:14:35.894
If you're interested and enhancing and developing your emotional intelligence, the university of Auckland has a two day online course entitled emotional leadership, engaged leadership because emotional intelligence helps leaders become people smart and to use practical tools to inspire better results at all levels.
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.620
That's the blurb.
00:14:37.830 --> 00:14:49.529
The program is to one day virtual world shot workshops held approximately one week apart right now at the university of Auckland as taking expressions of interest.
00:14:49.830 --> 00:15:00.210
And you can find more info@dubdubdubexecdotauckland.ac.in Zed forward slash short hyphen courses.
00:15:00.870 --> 00:15:01.529
I'll put the link.
00:15:02.264 --> 00:15:16.784
On the show notes page at pours claws with noses dot F M emotional intelligence is touted as the single best predictor of the success of an organization across all levels.
00:15:17.504 --> 00:15:30.225
Regardless of the academic portfolio of perspective, employees, chances are that without a high EEQ, their performances will stall and negatively impact the bottom line.
00:15:32.009 --> 00:15:54.360
Principals HR and practice managers should therefore, I believe life, according to Julie, rethink their recruitment and workplace culture, and start looking for team members that have the necessary academic qualifications, but also with high EQ IQ to optimize results and help improve your clinic's bottom line.
00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:58.950
So that's a quick overview of emotional intensity.
00:16:00.554 --> 00:16:02.235
And it's still raining.
00:16:02.445 --> 00:16:08.804
What I want to do now is share the 12 phrases, emotionally intelligent people do not use.
00:16:09.284 --> 00:16:17.054
I'm not normally into don't type phrasiology I'd far rather have something worded in the positive than the negative.
00:16:17.325 --> 00:16:22.394
But anyway, I wanted to share this exert I found for you on emotional, intimate.
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:24.629
And that's where Dr.
00:16:24.629 --> 00:16:40.639
Les Carter, a best selling author and psychotherapist who hails from Texas in the US as you hear from his real slow voice, she is 12 phrases to listen out for, because there are sure-fire signs of someone's.
00:16:40.850 --> 00:16:43.940
EEQ not being particularly well-developed.
00:16:44.509 --> 00:16:49.129
He explains some of the basic psychology behind these statements as well.
00:16:50.085 --> 00:16:58.605
I want to talk with you today about a dozen, 12 different kinds of comments that people might make when they have low E.
00:16:59.549 --> 00:17:09.569
And, and I'm doing so in this kind of direction, so that you can be aware of some of the triggers that can indicate that somebody is not really managing things well from that emotional standpoint.
00:17:09.569 --> 00:17:15.480
And it might be you, it might be the person that's in front of you, but the more you're aware of this, then it can prompt you to think about.
00:17:16.045 --> 00:17:17.305
The better alternatives.
00:17:17.545 --> 00:17:19.974
And there's one huge thing I want you to watch.
00:17:19.974 --> 00:17:36.204
Whereas I go through these 12 and that is what I refer to as the covert messages, people with low Q tend to say things on the outside, when in fact there's a hidden meaning that's behind the surface that really gets to the heart of where they're coming from.
00:17:36.355 --> 00:17:38.724
So let's see if we can develop an awareness of all that.
00:17:39.434 --> 00:17:51.494
Now th th the first phrase that I want to bring out, uh, that people with low EEQ might commonly say is why can't you just, you know, why can't you just do things this way?
00:17:51.734 --> 00:17:54.045
Or why can't you go along with everybody?
00:17:54.045 --> 00:17:59.234
You know, how you are, or a corollary to that one might be, you're going to do.
00:18:00.555 --> 00:18:10.095
And in that case, there's the implication that, uh, first of all, they're not asking the question for the sake of gathering information, but in both of these instances, there's the implication that.
00:18:10.755 --> 00:18:12.644
There's something really wrong about you.
00:18:12.914 --> 00:18:18.404
And I just can't believe that you're doing certain things the way you do, and you need to do things better.
00:18:18.434 --> 00:18:31.684
You're not saying it, but that's the implication and, uh, something like that can lead to disruption in the relationship or a very close, second comment that we can have is, oh, okay.
00:18:32.255 --> 00:18:33.444
If that's what you want to say.
00:18:34.589 --> 00:18:42.930
Now it may be that you're having a discussion with someone and you don't really agree with them, and you've attempted to speak your truth into that person and they're not having it.
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:48.869
And it's kind of like at the very end of the discussion, you just kind of throw a Barb in there.
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:49.740
Okay.
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:50.910
That's what you want to think.
00:18:50.910 --> 00:18:52.109
And it more or less implied.
00:18:53.505 --> 00:19:03.555
I just really think that you're an idiot and now you're not outwardly saying it, but you're setting the relationship up to fail and that's not going to be something that's going to lead to good results.
00:19:04.634 --> 00:19:22.244
Or how about a third phrase that people with low IQ might say, and that is, Hey, I had no other choice let's suppose that you said something that went in the wrong direction and it creates some habit or you did something that turned out to be a disaster.
00:19:22.605 --> 00:19:26.894
And so you explained it by saying, well, I, I didn't have any other choice now.
00:19:26.984 --> 00:19:27.755
The implication.
00:19:28.525 --> 00:19:31.015
Uh, if there was a problem, it wasn't my fault.
00:19:31.015 --> 00:19:36.954
And so there's a tacit form of blaming and an accusation towards some mysterious, something out there.
00:19:37.134 --> 00:19:43.924
And that person is just simply not willing to take responsibility for themselves, as opposed to the person that has the higher IQ that would.
00:19:44.714 --> 00:19:50.265
I was in a difficult situation and I managed it in a certain way and here's how it played out.
00:19:50.265 --> 00:19:59.025
And I think we might need to be, uh, willing to go back and revisit that a high IQ people can actually admit I always have choices and sometimes they're good.
00:19:59.144 --> 00:20:09.275
Sometimes they're not, or a fourth common phrase, because this is very common that a person with low IQ might say is how do you think I'm supposed to feel.
00:20:10.289 --> 00:20:21.779
Now somebody else may be sharing, uh, a, uh, an incident with them or a confrontation and rather than saying, alright, I need to know more about why you feel this way.
00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:24.059
And I'd like to talk with you about my response.
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:24.509
Okay.
00:20:24.509 --> 00:20:29.339
That would involve, uh, a healthy exchange between two healthy people.
00:20:29.670 --> 00:20:35.430
Well, the person with low EEQ wants to kind of put a bit of a shame on that other person.
00:20:35.849 --> 00:20:38.180
There's something really wrong with the way that you.
00:20:39.029 --> 00:20:40.980
At me now what's wrong with you.
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.329
And so, and by the way, that's another bad phrase that people with low IQ use what's wrong with you.
00:20:45.509 --> 00:20:47.220
How do you suppose that makes me feel?
00:20:47.490 --> 00:20:51.960
And the, the implication is, I think you're just an oblivious person.
00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:57.470
A fifth phrase that's commonly used is if you can believe that.
00:20:58.575 --> 00:21:12.164
For example, you might say, well, my sister is, uh, said she was going to go and be with this person, if you can believe that, or this person decided to do such and such activity, if you can believe that.
00:21:12.315 --> 00:21:20.204
And the implication is, I just am constantly, um, uh, having to come to terms with this persons idiotic kinds of ways.
00:21:20.265 --> 00:21:21.075
If you can believe that.
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:39.420
And the implication is, uh, there's, there's another criticism or insult that's, uh, that's being given to that person that they don't agree with now, a sixth one, and this is kind of an interesting, um, a person with low IQ might say something to the effect of everything is great.
00:21:40.095 --> 00:21:46.244
Right now, let me give you an example of what I mean there, it might be that I'll say, Hey, you've got that new job.
00:21:46.275 --> 00:21:47.414
Everything's great with it.
00:21:47.474 --> 00:21:48.045
Right.
00:21:48.555 --> 00:21:56.384
And when I throw that word right on the end of it, the implication is there's a certain way that I want to hear you respond.
00:21:56.785 --> 00:21:59.444
I want you to tell me that things are going well.
00:21:59.444 --> 00:22:01.835
And then if you come back and say, well, it's not all that.
00:22:02.625 --> 00:22:09.194
Then it makes you look like, well, then you're doing things wrong and you're not giving the right reaction.
00:22:09.464 --> 00:22:13.785
And so you're more of the negative kind of person, I, of course, and being positive.
00:22:13.934 --> 00:22:14.444
Right.
00:22:14.805 --> 00:22:24.765
And it's, it has a real subtle put down towards the person who might not give the correct response or a seventh, uh, phrase.
00:22:24.765 --> 00:22:25.994
It can be very common.
00:22:26.035 --> 00:22:26.115
Yeah.
00:22:26.805 --> 00:22:29.325
Well, aren't you just being sensitive.
00:22:29.865 --> 00:22:35.384
Let's suppose that you're talking about something and the other person has an emotional reaction that you don't want.
00:22:36.134 --> 00:22:38.444
Rather than saying, tell me about that.
00:22:39.134 --> 00:22:41.654
You can just kind of put that, that jab in there.
00:22:41.714 --> 00:22:48.315
Well, aren't you just being sensitive and the implication is there was a certain way you were supposed to feel and that wasn't it.
00:22:48.615 --> 00:23:01.065
And so, again, you're trying, you're making that other person feel rather uncomfortable or number eight, a person might say, nobody says that to me.
00:23:02.384 --> 00:23:09.704
That now, uh, this is, uh, this is going to be coming from somebody that has a strong argumentative nature.
00:23:10.065 --> 00:23:29.174
Uh, there's a, they can disagree very readily and, and, uh, they, uh, when they have somebody in front of them that offers a separate interpretation rather than saying, I don't really think that way, help me understand how you arrived at that conclusion, which would be the, a high, emotional intelligence way of doing things.
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:31.829
Uh, it's like, uh, you don't say that to me.
00:23:31.829 --> 00:23:32.490
You don't have that.
00:23:32.490 --> 00:23:32.910
Right.
00:23:33.029 --> 00:23:51.210
And the implication is I get to decide what you say, do and feel around here, or number nine, this would never have happened if you had, and, and then, uh, they'll go on to, you know, we might be having a disagreement or there might be, uh, uh, have been a difficulty in our lives.
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:57.269
And I might just want to just put that blame out there and say, well, this would never have happened if you'd just done things the right way.
00:23:57.450 --> 00:24:00.990
Or if you had listened to me or if you had, had made us a separate decision.
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:10.440
And, and so as a result of that, then you can just kind of, uh, have this notion that says, there's just, you're, you're just kind of along here just to make things miserable.
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.789
Aren't you and you keep doing a good job.
00:24:12.494 --> 00:24:23.914
Uh, this would never have happened or number 10, and this is just, uh, the, the statement of a very, very stubborn, uh, feudal kind of person where they might just say, stop it.
00:24:24.184 --> 00:24:25.575
Just stop.
00:24:26.775 --> 00:24:34.515
Now I know that there are times when a person can be angry or stubborn or argumentative, and sometimes you want to say something like that.
00:24:34.515 --> 00:24:44.234
And it's okay at times to say, you know, we need to draw this to a close, but when you come off in this super strong, stop it just stop it kind of way.
00:24:44.444 --> 00:24:47.414
Particularly if you have a reputation of not wanting to discuss.
00:24:47.990 --> 00:24:49.309
Uh, difficult topics.
00:24:49.670 --> 00:24:56.839
It just gives the response or gives the impression that you're the kind of person that responds rashly when things go wrong.
00:24:57.170 --> 00:25:07.609
Uh, one of the things that I work hard on in my counseling office and then also of course in my personal life is I don't want to be the guy that responds in a rash way.
00:25:07.609 --> 00:25:08.779
If something doesn't go right.
00:25:09.450 --> 00:25:11.759
I mean, can you imagine coming to a counselor's office?
00:25:11.970 --> 00:25:14.160
And I just say shut up, just stop it.
00:25:14.579 --> 00:25:15.509
Well, of course not.
00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:25.380
I want to establish myself as somebody that says we can talk about things in here, rashly, and that's something that, uh, hi, hi, EEQ people can do in their personal lives as well.
00:25:26.444 --> 00:25:43.454
Or number 11, uh, the low E Q person might say something like that reminds me of a time when I, and so what happens is there are times when you're having a discussion with someone and they mentioned, let's say they went on a vacation to Florida.
00:25:43.634 --> 00:25:46.005
Well, that reminds me of a time when I went to Colorado.
00:25:46.095 --> 00:25:53.625
And you just hijack the conversation, or if you have something that, where somebody is talking about, uh, there was a disappointment with, uh, uh huh.
00:25:54.299 --> 00:25:57.329
And you say, yeah, that reminds me of a time when something like that happened in mind.
00:25:57.990 --> 00:26:03.960
And there are people with low E Q that they kind of send the message covert that says, I don't want to listen to you.
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:04.740
Let's talk about me.
00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:08.309
That's my favorite topic or 12.
00:26:08.549 --> 00:26:11.640
And this is one that can be very common with low IQ people.
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.640
And that is why should I even bother with you?
00:26:15.190 --> 00:26:22.470
And now they may be feeling a great deal of futility in heard, but instead of saying, Hey, I'm struggling here.
00:26:23.005 --> 00:26:27.355
They just kind of send the message that says that covertly you're beneath me.
00:26:27.355 --> 00:26:37.615
And you need to remember that now, obviously when you have low E Q a, that implies that there's a low level of empathy, there's a high level of control.
00:26:37.765 --> 00:26:40.164
There's actually a fear reaction in that.
00:26:40.164 --> 00:26:44.335
I don't want to have to deal with stuff that makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable.
00:26:44.694 --> 00:26:46.974
And I'm hoping that as you examine these kinds of.
00:26:48.045 --> 00:26:55.365
Responses, you can look at yourself and recognize I want to be somebody that is more sensitive emotionally than that.
00:26:55.664 --> 00:27:03.015
And then when you're around people who also have that low IQ, you can have this sense of motivation that says I can do better.
00:27:03.015 --> 00:27:08.384
And I want to be someone that offers a safe Haven for people when we're in communication.
00:27:08.684 --> 00:27:12.484
So, uh, it's, it's a, a good challenge that we all need to make.
00:27:17.974 --> 00:27:23.375
did you recognize any of those statements yourself?
00:27:23.704 --> 00:27:26.375
Do you find yourself saying them?
00:27:27.305 --> 00:27:30.664
It's okay to think them it's absolutely.
00:27:30.755 --> 00:27:31.744
Okay to thank them.
00:27:31.744 --> 00:27:35.795
Provided you bite your tongue and you don't say it.
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:49.710
People who bite their tongues or count to 10 or a hundred or whatever it is that they need to do to, to diffuse the situation.
00:27:50.009 --> 00:27:51.779
Those are the people that have high.
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:52.529
EEQ.
00:27:52.769 --> 00:28:03.450
One of the things that I find myself thinking from time to time, if you hadn't done that, Usually it's with my husband.
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:08.279
If you hadn't lost or you had, if you had put something away, then we wouldn't be looking for it.
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:12.180
Now, if you had done something differently, we wouldn't be here.
00:28:12.650 --> 00:28:13.160
Whatever.
00:28:14.750 --> 00:28:17.660
I bite my tongue, I can't tin.
00:00:06.469 --> 00:00:19.010
00:00:20.445 --> 00:00:22.725
00:00:23.114 --> 00:00:34.935
00:00:34.994 --> 00:00:40.229
00:00:40.259 --> 00:00:47.579
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.659
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:55.229
00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:05.269
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:13.400
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.469
00:01:16.709 --> 00:01:27.090
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.659
00:01:30.989 --> 00:01:36.689
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.730
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.069
00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:52.254
00:01:52.254 --> 00:01:52.644
00:01:53.924 --> 00:01:55.185
00:01:55.185 --> 00:01:55.965
00:01:57.344 --> 00:01:59.144
00:01:59.144 --> 00:02:04.305
00:02:04.305 --> 00:02:15.465
00:02:16.115 --> 00:02:20.224
00:02:20.254 --> 00:02:21.995
00:02:26.185 --> 00:02:29.574
00:02:29.754 --> 00:02:35.754
00:02:36.025 --> 00:02:39.104
00:02:39.145 --> 00:02:45.205
00:02:45.694 --> 00:03:00.064
00:03:01.764 --> 00:03:10.615
00:03:11.715 --> 00:03:15.615
00:03:15.944 --> 00:03:32.354
00:03:33.405 --> 00:03:43.514
00:03:43.965 --> 00:03:46.305
00:03:46.514 --> 00:03:59.025
00:03:59.965 --> 00:04:04.104
00:04:04.645 --> 00:04:18.024
00:04:18.745 --> 00:04:25.435
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:34.920
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.069
00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:41.939
00:04:42.569 --> 00:04:47.970
00:04:48.269 --> 00:04:53.189
00:04:54.180 --> 00:05:17.670
00:05:18.810 --> 00:05:32.970
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:40.750
00:05:40.850 --> 00:05:40.939
00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:46.129
00:05:47.894 --> 00:06:01.574
00:06:02.415 --> 00:06:06.524
00:06:08.430 --> 00:06:13.589
00:06:13.829 --> 00:06:24.829
00:06:25.069 --> 00:06:33.589
00:06:34.904 --> 00:06:42.314
00:06:43.095 --> 00:06:46.485
00:06:46.875 --> 00:06:53.745
00:06:54.194 --> 00:07:01.334
00:07:02.625 --> 00:07:09.314
00:07:10.035 --> 00:07:17.144
00:07:17.384 --> 00:07:24.165
00:07:25.754 --> 00:07:45.134
00:07:46.290 --> 00:07:52.920
00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:55.079
00:07:55.949 --> 00:07:57.629
00:07:59.069 --> 00:08:13.889
00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:20.790
00:08:21.509 --> 00:08:26.480
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:36.350
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:42.889
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:52.950
00:08:53.789 --> 00:09:05.519
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:12.029
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.450
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:27.570
00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:32.100
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:38.879
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.179
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:59.669
00:10:00.269 --> 00:10:13.830
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:15.480
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:25.159
00:10:26.235 --> 00:10:33.164
00:10:33.914 --> 00:10:39.615
00:10:39.975 --> 00:10:52.634
00:10:53.879 --> 00:11:06.539
00:11:07.169 --> 00:11:18.360
00:11:19.394 --> 00:11:27.225
00:11:28.034 --> 00:11:37.065
00:11:37.245 --> 00:11:44.835
00:11:46.259 --> 00:12:08.370
00:12:09.465 --> 00:12:16.065
00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:31.049
00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:36.539
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.330
00:12:40.330 --> 00:12:46.480
00:12:46.690 --> 00:12:50.980
00:12:51.850 --> 00:13:03.639
00:13:04.409 --> 00:13:31.769
00:13:32.669 --> 00:13:36.840
00:13:37.649 --> 00:13:46.289
00:13:46.289 --> 00:13:53.129
00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:03.389
00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:13.049
00:14:14.115 --> 00:14:35.894
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.620
00:14:37.830 --> 00:14:49.529
00:14:49.830 --> 00:15:00.210
00:15:00.870 --> 00:15:01.529
00:15:02.264 --> 00:15:16.784
00:15:17.504 --> 00:15:30.225
00:15:32.009 --> 00:15:54.360
00:15:56.309 --> 00:15:58.950
