Emotional intelligence are a set of skills WE CAN LEARN
Our primary senses enter at the base of the brain and messages from there must travel to the front region of the brain, the pre-frontal cortex before we can think rationally about our experience. However, before they enter the rational part of our brain some signals travel through a series of structures referred to as the limbic system. This is a place where emotions are most acutely experienced. Emotional intelligence requires effective communication between the rational and emotional processing areas of the brain, and a ‘broadband connection’ between and across these areas is critical for developing high emotional intelligence.
“Plasticity” is the term neurologists use to describe the brain’s ability to change. Your brain grows new connections as you learn new skills. The change is gradual, as your brain cells develop new connections to speed the efficiency of new skills acquired.
Our ability to understand and reflect on our emotions helps us to use this
information to arrive at accurate judgments and take positive, constructive action.
