Emotional intelligence is generally said to include a few skills: namely emotional awareness, or the ability to identify and name one’s own emotions; the ability to harness those emotions and apply them to tasks like thinking and problem solving; and the ability to manage emotions, which includes both regulating one’s own emotions when necessary and helping others to do the same. … Because of this, the emotionally-intelligent generally have high self-confidence and are realistic about themselves. A person high in EI is not impulsive or hasty with their actions. They think before they do. This translates into steady emotion regulation, or the ability to reduce how intense an emotion feels.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847903067-57HDPDJ6TWU40QPAQLS4/image-asset.jpeg Emotional Intelligence Coaching From my own personal work and work with others, including business executives, I see EI as encompassing even more than is traditionally thought. Someone high in EI is typically more situationally-aware—can see the “big picture” underlying events, behaviors and varying viewpoints. This includes a personal toolkit that includes intra-personal and inter-personal skills such as empathy, compassion, patience, openness, collaboration and linguistic capability, to name a few. This quality becomes more and more important as executives move up the ladder. These skills are valuable in any human system, but their criticality has been recognized in the corporate world, where time and again, an aspiring leader hits a ceiling in the organization, unable to get further promotions into positions of higher authority and influence. It is not uncommon for hitting this covert ceiling is the lack of emotional intelligence. Proven skills as logical thinkers and problem-solvers are only able to take a high-potential leader so far up the corporate ladder. At some point, those vaunted individual contributor skills have to give way to the higher-level leadership skills that leverage EI.

In spite of the time expended in such sessions, the patterns persist. Why? One primary reason is that traditional psychoanalytic methods either believe the behavior will eventually go away with time, or that by talking about it in depth the root cause will be uncovered and from that, the behavior can be eliminated. This is mostly “left-brain” work—the logical, rational, conscious side of the brain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847903067-57HDPDJ6TWU40QPAQLS4/image-asset.jpeg Traditional Hypnosis But behavioral patterns, whether constructive or unhealthy, reside in the subconscious and are not solved at the logical level of though. For example, you probably know how to ride a bike. Where does that ability reside? You guessed it--in the subconscious. Same with smoking and various other addictions. This is where hypnotherapy comes in. It is designed to “park” the conscious mind in the background so that we can tap into the subconscious to address the behavior patterns directly, without resistance from the rational part of the brain. Hypnotherapy is a fast track to the source of many, if not most, unwanted behavior patterns, such as addictions, sleep disorders, handling stress, anxiety and public speaking. If you would like to successfully eliminate an unwanted pattern in thinking and/or behavior. https://www.awakenwisdom.net/organizational-system-analysis daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg Organizational System Analysis What’s more—these systems overlap, with each and everyone of us. Why? Because each one of us stands at the center of multiple systems, with potential impact of one on another. For example, when you come to work, and have had some problems on the home front, is it possible that this carries over to work? And vice-versa? But the difference in the approach to resolution and healing lies in our unique method—when there are issues to understand and resolve, our approach is to look for the system root cause(s), rather than first look to assess what is “wrong” with you. As members of multiple systems, so are we guided and even driven to certain behavior patterns that may or may not work in another system of which we are members. This is where we can help. If you would like to better understand and resolve organization or family system issues https://www.awakenwisdom.net/stress-reduction daily 0.75 2021-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg Stress Reduction It may be a matter of simply wanting to live or act in a more peaceful, grounded way. Or become a more patient partner, parent or colleague. For these and other similar objectives, simple mindfulness techniques can help. From students wanting to excel in school, to veterans suffering from hyper-vigilance, our mindfulness techniques have helped people to reduce stress, achieve their performance goals and heal from trauma. If you would like to realize more peace, centered-ness or heal from some lingering trauma, https://www.awakenwisdom.net/past-life-regression daily 0.75 2021-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg Past Life Regression When other healing methods have not fully resolved your issue or objective, past life analysis is often the go-to solution. If we can’t find resolution with what we know of in this life, it is often the case that we “inherited” this issue or challenge from a previous life. Even if one doesn’t believe in past lives, this method can help. Our past life regression work involves a similar approach to our hypnotherapeutic methods, yet takes the experience one step deeper into one’s past life or lives, where frequently there is carry-over of some trauma or memory that impacts our behavior or thinking in this lifetime. One example, a lady suffering from migraines since age 25, with no known cause or current medical diagnosis, learns that in her past life, she died from a traumatic blow to her head at the age of 25. To be an acceptable candidate for this method, one must have an open mind and strong desire to find healing when nothing else has helped.
