As well as the brain, it also includes everything the brain connects to your spinal cord and your central and peripheral nervous systems. we aren’t neuroscientists, nor academics. We want to learn about the bits that will help us manage and lead people. A useful working definition in our context is: Neuroscience is about understanding how the brain works, so we can learn to control our responses, manage behaviors, and make resourceful choices. A large part of Emotional Intelligence is about gaining control over your instinctive emotional reactions. In her book, Neuroscience for Project Success (https://geni.us/dMFfrkD), Carole Osterweil offers us a powerful way of thinking about Emotional Intelligence in terms of your Thinking Brain and your Emotional Brain. When we looked at emotional intelligence, we saw four principal components. Osterwieil maps the state of your thinking brain onto these four domains. 1. Self-awareness This is about becoming aware of the extent to which your Thinking Brain is fully online, or partially overpowered by your emotional brain. 2. Self-regulation So, once you are aware of the balance of Thinking and Emotion, self-regulation is about your ability to bring your Thinking Brain more to the fore; more ‘online’. And, once you have done that, keep it online. 3. Social awareness Next, you can turn your attention to the people around you. You will only get the best from them when their thinking brains are fully online. Social awareness allows you to gauge this. 4. Social skills Finally, social skills are all about understanding how – often in challenging situations – you can bring their Thinking Brains online, and keep them online. = = RECOMMENDED EXERCISE 1.
