The Power of Emotional Intelligence | Travis Bradberry | TEDxUCIrvine

Why do people with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time? It all comes down to emotional intelligence. And unlike IQ, emotional intelligence is a choice and a discipline, not an innate quality bestowed upon the lucky. In this powerful and entertaining talk, Dr. Travis Bradberry, coauthor of Emotional Intelligence 2.0, shows you how to use this critical skill to your advantage.
Dr. Travis Bradberry is the award-winning coauthor of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 and the cofounder of TalentSmartÒ¾the world’s leading provider of emotional intelligence tests and training serving more than 75% of Fortune 500 companies. His bestselling books have been translated into 25 languages and are available in more than 150 countries.
Dr. Bradberry is a LinkedIn Influencer and a regular contributor to Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, The World Economic Forum, and The Huffington Post. He has written for, or been covered by, Newsweek, Time, BusinessWeek, Fortune, Fast Company, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The Harvard Business Review.

The Emotional Intelligent is related to the brilliant power of our minds as responsive beings. It creates reality of our desires and dreams. This incredible power is inherent to us and it’s insane the almost absolute control we have to create the realities we want if we just take ownership of it.

One of the best presentation of emotional intelligence I have listened to, especially on the impact of sleep on bodily functions.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE Understand ur emotions Limbic system - emotional mind Rational mind Master ur emotions - it is base for everything Self awareness,stress undercontrol ( improve memory ) - cultivate the attitude of gratitude - lowers the response of stress Clean up ur sleep hygiene -melatonin Caffeine - reduce intake

[@marcusmcknight6076]

I was recently assigned to watch this video for class and I think those three steps for improving your EQ are wonderful. However, the unfortunate thing is for many industries (e.g. transit, logistics, law enforcement, etc) it's really hard to wake up at the same time everyday when your schedule changes daily.

[@5MinutePsychology]

It’s all incredibly interesting! Emotional Intelligence has changed my life. Ever since I started working on it I feel as if I was reading a book which is invisible for so many people. I love! And I hope you love it, too. I am amazed that so many people claim Emotional Intelligence doesn’t exist.

Great story! I know much more about my brain after I watch this Ted Talk. I like how Travis present the idea of emotional intelligence and how he uses a lot of real stories to show its importance. When I saw the chart that EQ score will impact my pay, it get me thinking that I should really work on it. Overall, Great speak. I love it and I will share with my friends, so they can benefit from it.

[@raycervantes6829]

12:50 ended his point and gave me confidence for my near future because i believe to a certain extent i have a relatively high EQ, but im also going to school for accounting and find that other qualities like emotional intelligence are key to creating great interpersonal relationships! Id like to someday be a leader of my community and workplace and with my knowledge and experience and consideration on the emotions of others, it’s inevitable not to succeed 🤫

[@aishaibrahim9280]

[@deborrastorm2754]

Emotional Intelligence to me is knowing what makes people emotional... and or stimulate them intellectually. But its also a talent I believe one is born with to be able to sense the unspoken emotions of any person... they meet. With this intelligence they are able to understand what that person needs,hates, lives or is afraid of. It is a sixth sence. You can try and study it from someone who was born with it, but I believe it's a hard thing to do. The closest you can get is to focus on being more actively empathetic. Being a Christain I believe only God can teach it to us truely. One can be charismatic, but that does not make them emotionally intelligent. I believe it's effectiveness comes intuitively .. giving respect to all in a social setting. Practicing it by going to a social setting talking to each individual alone, till you have spoken to each one. Asking them Questions about themselves.. why they are their... pick just one question. Then move on to the next person, you will learn so much. Also, when your with these people look them in the eye. Think to your self ..do I feel anything behind those eyes they are not saying. You will find walls, open doors, and deep rivers of complexity. People are very complex, but the commonality of our humaness bonds us basically. Focusing on staying bonded, leave when it becomes confrontational.

[@Hooray110]

I think your words much more worthy and direct than this ted talk . thank you

[@GJKincses]

Health and awareness levels will support you very day - " Emotional Intelligence should be incorporated in all company training modules in order to increase awareness levels, motivate and inspire the desire within, and on reaching out by helping others with a better level of understanding and gentle support initiatives. Our social and leadership skills will transform our genuine heart felt empathy to help break down apathy levels within so many others, and build far greater and more meaningful relationships within the working environment and community. - Thanks so much for sharing Travis we all need to reflect and practice every day.

I partly agree with him that good EI skills can help manage emotions well. However, for some people who have bipolar disorder, they find very challenging to deal with strong negative emotions. EI is not the magic button because an emotion can be manifested by various conditions that are out of our control.

[@rosaartemisg5027]

I think a bipolar person is far more capable of establishing emotional intelligence because they can relate directly with all

[@KellisonHering]

@@rosaartemisg5027 I agree. I have bipolar disorder and this stuff has helped me tremendously. I used to use my disorder as a reason I couldn’t do certain things and now I feel very empowered. I can finally use my bipolar disorder to my advantage.

[@aikishugyo]

Some gold in there, such as the alternative pathways which help to explain hunches and gut feeling etc., and some thought-provoking statements such as the separation of IQ, personality, and EQ. Jordan Petersen seems to disagree on that part, as I understand it. So food for thought there. Very interesting stuff!!!

[@ThriftyDadCreations]

At 6:43 you say "Personality is a stable set of preferences and tendencies through which you approach the world." This seems to be partial unless we accomodate 'Our personality as perceived by others'. It is difficult to modify but not impossible. It gets reinforced through years and so necessitate that an effective corrective modality be used.

Interesting talk by Travis Bradberry. However, I would have preferred a greater explanation of neuroscience (such as Dan Goleman provides in his books) - for example, a bit more granularity and a fuller explanation of the limbic system and its role in "emotional intelligence"). Also, Bradberry references the term "EQ" which is not really an accepted term in the scientific community. In the books I've read on Emotional Intelligence (by Goleman, for example), I never came across the term "EQ" so I'm not sure where this reference in the talk comes from. I've only heard it as a "pop" term so (to me), references such as this undermined the talk a bit I (personally) prefer more precise and correct terminology. It might also be interesting to consider this issue from a psychobiological perspective - such as by analyzing neurological gender differences, particularly the anatomical differences in the brains of men and women. Women tend to have an increased lateralization of the brain hemispheres because of the markedly greater development of the corpus callosum (the band of fibrous nerve tissue in the middle of the brain that "connects" the two hemispheres. It is believed that as a result of this anatomical variant, women tend to have more stable emotions and decreased emotional lability. Women tend to be less quick to anger, etc. Therefore, it would be interesting to me to further explore causal connections between such psychobiological differences... (My undergrad studies began in psychobio with an emphasis on neuroscience hence my interest in this area.) I'd like to see Goleman's TED talks and compare the two. As an FYI, for those interested in motivational factors, I also very much enjoy the TED Talks by Carol Dweck (who's at Stanford - Go Cardinal!). I'd also like to suggest a TED Talk that delves into the reasons why women add greater value to upper-level management and organizational teams in terms of leadership, decision making, and managerial style. A greater representation of women in top tier corporate and business positions would only promote the American economy. It has been shown repeatedly that diversity within teams helps the entire team to thrive! - Vania Chaker @VMChaker

Search the term emotional quotient, that is what EQ stands for.

You're mapping and visualizing your future reality every second. It's not magic. Yesterday I visualized meeting friends in small town and watching a band. It was as imagined. Now I have to just tweak it for other things out of my comfort zone. It's almost 100% certainty at least 75% will happen as visualuzed. The other 25% I will do my best to make real but it's the pursuit of it that's fascinating.

In order to be more functional with out emotional outburst s and loss of control of emotion s. Anger and unable to control emotions.

The issue with EQ is that the best performers at it are narcissists, they master emotions, play with them to manipulate other people ! at the other end of the spectrum, you have empaths, who are the usual preys for narcissists ! It's not a surprise that narcissists and people with narcissistic traits are at the top of the society, while empaths lag behind, often treated the same way as BPD's...

[@f3rn4n2x3str3ll4]

Excuse me Mr. Bradberry but I'm a little perplexed😵 The Tamping Rod that went through his head may have damaged his "Pinale Gland" of which is located in the "Limbic System" and it's the pinale Gland that regulates emotions 🤔 I am taken back that you haven't mentioned this medical fact😏 Those reading this post don't take my word for it, reasearch it for yourselfs 😉
