In the first of our “manly” episodes, Brian Sims sits down to have a conversation with his good friend Dubb Alexander about Emotional Intelligence. Dubb Alexander is a spiritual advisor with a passion to see The Kingdom of God made practical and implemented into culture. Dubb explains what emotional intelligence is and how he uses emotional intelligence in dealing with nations in his work at the United Nations.
‌
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
Emotional Intelligence is the capacity to be aware of oneself and others around you. Emotional intelligence MUST begin with self-awareness. 2 Tools to help with self-awareness: 1. Put some time into your day to intentionally think about what you are thinking about. 2. Have people in your life that you trust to give you 360 feedback. The level of emotional intelligence you operate in, the greater value you can offer AND receive. If we misunderstand our emotions instead of governing them, we will end up misusing them. Ask yourself, “What emotional state do I want to live the majority of my life in?” 3 Tools to help increase your Emotional Intelligence: Self-awareness R.A.P.P.O.R.T. (Really All People Prefer Others Reflecting Themselves) The D.I.S.C. Test Dubb explains how he uses emotional intelligence in his global consulting work. Use emotional intelligence as an acceleration NOT a manipulation. For more information on Dubb Alexander visit his YouTube Channel @ https://www.youtube.com/@SchoolofKingdom
