emotional literacy as a key skill to (self) leadership
To truly evolve our (self) leadership skills and
allow individuals and teams to really thrive,
we have to stop ignoring the fact that we are
human beings with emotions.
Harnessing emotions is one of the most overlooked aspects of our (work) culture.
Cultivating Emotional Literacy benefits the planet and humanity through understanding how to navigate our emotional energy in relating to ourselves and others. Learning how to be emotionally literate strengthens our empathy towards ourselves and others and increases our emotional resilience.
It allows us to navigate our emotions - especially in moments of tension and conflict - and channel their energies into direct, peaceful, and efficient action and communication.
Emotional Literacy is Emotional Intelligence in action.
“To be emotionally literate is to be able to handle emotions in a way that improves your personal power and improves the quality of life around you. Emotional literacy improves relationships, creates loving possibilities between people, makes cooperative work possible and facilitates the feeling of community.”
— Claude Steiner
