Frustration Can Take You For A Ride

| September 24, 2020

Frustration is an intense emotion. When other emotions are on the rise at the same time, frustration can easily get out of hand. As the amount of stress you are under compounds, carefully watch what is happening with your frustration level. Frustration can take you to destructive places that do not serve you.

Managing your frustration, especially in times of elevated stress is a key element of emotional intelligence. Protect yourself, learn to quiet your frustration when you need to and you’ll avoid some bumpy rides.

Timing

| August 27, 2020

Are you conscious of the timing for the things you do at work? This can take many forms: when to bring a subject up, when to begin a project, when to introduce a new idea, when to end something or when to take a break. Your sense of timing can be critical to success. Timing involves emotional intelligence, awareness and intuitive abilities.

Assess your own sense of timing. How good has it been in the past? How did timing affect your outcomes? A sense of timing must be cultivated. Observe and correct and you’ll find yourself timing things just right.
