| Make More Connections Using EQEver feel like you’re only reaching a small segment of those within your sphere of influence?
“Our ability to make connections faster is more important than it’s ever been,” said Jennifer Stanford, CEO of Emergent Performance Solutions and the keynote speaker for the Jan. 16, 2019, AWL Luncheon. |
| "Most of the time we are only appealing to 25 percent of our audience. We have to be able to reach that wider audience.”

| Using emotional intelligence helps a person make those connections. To begin, you need to understand how you think and feel. Then, you use that understanding to manage your behavior.
“Our character is how we behave in spite of ourselves,” Stanford said. The next goal is to understand the people around you — their personalities and how they operate. Then a leader uses that knowledge of herself and the other person to interact with people. Stanford uses identity mapping to understand the different facets of a person’s personality (based on the four categories in the graphic above). It is a key part of Stanford’s emotional intelligence training, which will be offered at the AWL Luncheon. She believes you can impact any relationship you have in your life by understanding how that person thinks and changing your behavior to meet it. “When we think about leading people … we really have to be more aware of the preferences that people have,” Stanford said. “Really strong leaders aren’t going to ask people to meet them halfway.” |
