93. All the Feels: The Personal and Professional Power of Emotional Awareness

How are you feeling right now? According to Celine Teoh, we all need to ask ourselves that question more often - and be more precise in how we answer it.
Teoh is a facilitator of the course Interpersonal Dynamics, or “Touchy Feely,” as it’s affectionately known on campus. In her work with students and as a CEO coach, she encourages people to get better acquainted with their feelings. “Feelings are data,” she says. “In the rest of our logical lives, we would never make decisions on bad or highly abstract data. But we'll do that with feelings.”
In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Teoh and host Matt Abrahams discuss how developing greater emotional awareness can help us achieve more agency and empathy in our personal and professional lives.

Thanks, excellent podcast! Will remember following: “When we give advice we hide behind that advice and try to stop the conversation instead of going deeper in figuring out emotions”. 5 to 1 ratio of positive to negative emotions/ feedback.

People will remember how you made them feel. It's not about the words. It's about how people feel inside. That's how you persuade. That's how you connect. That's who we are. We are emotional beings. We need to think about how we impact people on emotional level. We do a disservice when we think that our communication is only information transfer. It is clear emotion transfer as well. And we need to bring those two in balance.
