Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Hello Ellen:
Your blog is currently #2 on my go to blog list.Stephen Covey advocated this approach in his book, the 8th Habit. I have found that since I abandoned a perverse desire to perfect my knowledge before I aim to share it with others, it has helped me to be far more effective. I did a workshop on presenteeism on Thursday and a question that someone raised inspired me to develop a 2 x 2 matrix to better illustrate a key point. If one is dealing with new ideas, I think a co-creative appraoch is vital. I've also been inspired by the teachable point of view aproach that Noel Tichy and others pioneered at GE. The lesson that comes from this for me is that a teacher needs to be humble and open to the opportunity to learn from his/her "students."

Your chart is also making me think once more about the most effective means to enable people to learn about emotional intellgence.

Thanks for the insight Galba, and I would love to see more of what you do with Emotional Intelligence. Interesting connection you use here. I also see emotional intelligence as a keen part of the intrapersonal intelligence and one that we too often overlook in development sessions. Thanks for stopping by and helping us to apply these ideas in useful ways. That's really all this site is about:-)

You're welcome. I've sent you my free EQ Powerpack and I look forward to your thoughts, queries and feedback.

Galba, thanks for the EQ materials. While we have all the EQ books and are aware of the strategies -- we use MITA materials for INTRAPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE - which includes EQ and also offers 7 additional intelligences to get you through the day:-) Thanks though and all the best - perhaps we'll cross paths out there - as we travel and speak a great deal on MITA Brain Based methods.

Hello Ellen:

Thanks for your interest. Your MITA programme looks interesting. Perhaps I'll attend it one day. Your approach is interesting. Much of the Emotional Intelligence approach argues that our IQ is pretty much fixed, so in a sense, I shouldn't :-) be reading your material. Your site makes my brain hum and your approach and insights work for me, which is the acid test. Before the year is out, I need to really delve deeply into your work on Intrapersonal Intelligence. I believe that I'm very reflective person and I learn a lot through that method. I have some working ideas based on experience on how to catalyse them into meaningful action. I want to delve more deeply into theories about relection and learning and I'd be very grateful for any suggestions, pointers and insights. I'd also love to have your feedback on my materials.
