As we learn more about what makes people successful in business and even in terms of leadership, researchers professionals have now moved on from the usual attributes of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) towards Emotional Intelligence(EQ). And EQ is now considered a very essential ingredient in the make-up of potential leaders. Conversely to our IQ, our EQ is something we build and develop with appropriate training and this is just what Grace Flow Therapy™ does.
What is Emotional intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence according to Wikipedia is “the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself, of others and of groups.”
The following are various elements we can use to develop our Emotional Intelligence.
• Self-Awareness: An understanding about your emotions, states, and moods and their effects on your behavior is essential for one to develop Emotional Intelligence.
• Self-Regulation: Ability to control your impulses and mood, as well as thinking properly before you act is paramount if you must develop your Emotional Intelligence.
• Motivation: You have to be relentless in the pursuit of your higher goals, this can be achieved by developing high energy levels. Which in turn helps you to develop your Emotional Intelligence.
• Empathy: By considering another person’s emotional state or another person’s emotional make-up you are indirectly developing yours.
• Social Skills: Your rapport with others is a determinant of the level of your emotional intelligence, and also helps in maintaining perfect relationships.
You can address these areas by using appropriate techniques. GFT focuses on your unconscious mind to make sure that you don’t only know what you should do to develop your Emotional Intelligence but to actually do what is needed. To make a particular behaviour permanent and repeatable you need to train that particular behaviour into your nervous system. And it achieves this goal by working with the unconscious mind.

⎫ Others: This is very important in the case of sales persons attempting to influence their prospects to make purchases with them using principles embedded in. With the right internal motivation, you can create intimate relationships that can allow you control the emotions or even actions of others.
⎫ A group: Politicians and TV hosts such as Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey respectively are notable figures that are actively involved in influencing the emotions of the group of persons that make up their audience. - Social Skills
