I expected to discover more about my weakness, strengths and how to better handle different situation at work.
And I was right.. but I didn't expect what I realized, and how deep the insight I got about myself, and how I would later apply it not just at my professional life, but even dealing with my kids !
The training, workshops and especially the Emotional Intelligence EQ-i report helped me focus not only on how I view myself and my emotions, but also how they really are.
The emotional SWOT analysis, and the Emotional Intelligence model assisted me a lot in discovering my blind spots. It also showed me my emotional intelligence different sides, and how it all links to my leadership development, all in different ways.
Out of the 5 pillars, self perception, self expression, and decision making were key areas of analysis that were real eye opener for me; especially the "Strategies for Action" practical guides, followed by the SMART plans, made me focus on how apply these exercises to strengthen skills in these areas.
All of this helped me a lot visualize my personality and emotional traits, and aided me to draw different action plans for where I should put effort to striking the optimal balance of the needed different skills, including these ones which don’t come naturally for me.
Thanks Sherif for all the valuable input, personalized exercises, and personal commitment.
