professional-adults.jpgThe Impact of Emotional Intelligence: Improve Organizational Performance

Jennifer Zamecki and Greg Smith

Join us for a discussion on Emotional Intelligence and our Emotional Quotient (EQ) report. 

Research over the last 20 years has shown that individuals who have developed their Emotional Intelligence are between 40 -122% more effective, especially in roles that require influencing and guiding other's choices (such as leaders, sales and customer service). 

It has been said that the EQ (or understanding of Emotional Intelligence) will trump having a high IQ due to the power of Emotional Intelligence to assist in collaboration and productivity. 

Having coached thousands of Executives over 20 years, Jennifer is convinced this is true! 

The Emotional Quotient report provides simple, systematic and accurate feedback for developing one's emotional intelligence. With an increase in EQ, individuals and teams will enjoy a significant improvement in their personal and professional relationships, as well as more rewarding interactions with others.

How To Boost Staff Morale
When you run a business, there are a lot of challenges that you will face. Bringing on great employees is definitely a difficult thing to achieve. What might be even more difficult is keeping those individuals happy in their job.
It is very important that you invest in the staff and do things that will boost their morale. If you have people that are unhappy in their job, they will find other places to work.
Here are some great ways that you can boost staff morale.
Find Ways to Thank the Staff
Everyone needs to be thanked for their contribution to the team. Come up with ways that your staff will feel appreciated. This could come in the form of a bonus, party, retreat, or something simpler like a thank you note.
However you chose to thank your staff, do it with sincerity. If it were not for these valuable people, your business would not be successful. If you are not sincere, the sentiment will be picked up on, and your efforts will not be received well.
Offer Continued Education
To help your staff feel more confident in their job, offer them continued learning opportunities. They will know they are valued if you invest in their education.
Providing training for your staff is beneficial to them and to you. The more trained they are, the better they will be able to do their job. Also, the more they know, the more valuable they will feel.
Provide Opportunities For Promotion
Great employees want a chance to grow in their jobs. Make sure that the more motivated employees have a place to move up to. Otherwise, they will become dissatisfied with your company and find another opportunity to pursue.
When you have staff members that are in a positive environment and in a job they enjoy, they will stay with you longer. If the moral of your employees drops, it makes production go down and your chances of high turnover increase. It is very important to invest in boosting your staff's morale.

7 Things Mentally Strong People Avoid
Mentally strong individuals have common characteristics such as optimism, persistence and a drive that help them to succeed. They are a force to be reckoned with and often avoid things that will draw them away from productivity and their overall goal for success.
Mentally strong people avoid these 7 things and find greater achievement and fulfillment as a result.
1. Entertaining the fear of change
Those that are strong mentally do not fear change. Rather, they embrace it and feel more inspired because they do. These individuals won't shy away from change but instead they welcome new opportunities.
2. Wasting time feeling sorry for themselves
Mentally strong people don't sit around and feel sorry for themselves. They know how to handle a variety of circumstances and grow from the hand their dealt rather than "cry over spilled milk." In fact, they tend to rise up with a shrug of the shoulders and press on.
3. Worry over things outside their control
Mentally strong individuals are not complainers. They don't worry over things beyond their control. When times get tough, they choose a positive outlook and work toward the things they can control rather than spending time on things they cannot.
4. People pleasing
A person that is mentally strong will not try and please others but just be themselves. They are able to extend goodwill toward others but not worry over pleasing everyone around them. If someone gets upset, then they accept that as a possibility and do the best they can to be pleasant while not changing their course of action to please others.
5. Habitual, similar mistakes
One that is mentally strong will not continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. They learn from their mistakes, struggles and tough situations. Mentally strong people take responsibility for their errors and bad calls. Moving forward, they make different choices and grow from their past experiences.
6. Focusing on the past
Dwelling on the past can bring you down. Mentally strong people are able to look to the future rather than focus on the past. Moving forward and learning from their experiences is important and they will work hard to grow in all situations.
7. Begrudge other's success
The mentally strong can celebrate other's success. They don't feel threatened because someone else has abilities or shows potential. In fact, they may even take note of the decisions that helped someone else succeed so they can do the same.
Mentally strong people rise up rather than shy away from opportunities for growth and success.t

How To Go From Failure To Success
Failure is often the best teacher in life. Painful at times? Absolutely, because no one likes to fail. We have the desire to succeed but an occasional failure helps us to learn new things along the way.
Failing at something teaches a lesson and helps you to change, grow and ultimately succeed. The things we are working toward are not always easy but as the old saying goes, "practice makes perfect." Success takes time and there is often a learning curve.
The business environment is ever changing and an occasional failure is bound to happen. Consider these steps to turn a failure into success:
1. Seek advice from others.
Ask your trusted family members, friends and coworkers to give you feedback on your failure. They will give you a different angle and perspective to consider. If you want to succeed, you need to be willing to hear the truth from others.
What they share may make a huge difference in how you handle your business and clients going forward. We don't always see our situation as clearly as others.
2. Switch your course of action.
After you listen to the feedback of others, be willing to adjust your habits, style and course of action. In other words, get yourself on track with a new plan to ensure success.
Albert Einstein once said that "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Don't let that be your story; rather, remember that change is helpful and essential for success.
3. Change is good.
If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. Change is a good thing. Once you see that it's necessary, act quickly to bring about the success you hope for. We can learn a lot from failure. (Changing just to change is not recommended. Change when necessary)
The goal is to grow and be different because of what we've experienced. Don't wallow in pity, self-doubt or the failure. Remember that change is progress.
Business has a variety of facets that keep everyone on their toes. Even though failure is inevitable from time to time, we can learn from those mishaps and grow in the process.
Success is usually not immediate. I encourage you to value each "mishap" on your journey because they are learning opportunities that will help you succeed over time.
