And that is a very good question \u2026<\/p>\n<p>You will have been on an at least one communication course at some point (and I lead these sessions too) and these are great \u2026 if they form part of a bigger plan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">\u201cThe emotional landscape of leadership is untapped and underdeveloped. Typically, leadership energy focuses on the efficiency of managerial operations. There is ample training on becoming productive but very little on integrating our emotional data toward competency within the landscape of commerce.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">-Dr. Rob Murray-<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[CEO and co-founder of Transformed Leader, a leadership research, coaching, and consulting company that helps mission-driven organizations and leaders overcome their greatest challenges.]<\/p>\n<p>When Clients ask me to run an in-house programme, I first ask questions to understand what strategy they have in place to support the ongoing development of participants. Because learning communication tools and new tips and techniques are just one part of achieving great communication!<\/p>\n<p>I know this because I have been doing this for a very long time and have seen what a challenge it can be for people to communicate in the most effective way for themselves, especially if they are unaware of what\u2019s getting in the way.<\/p>\n<p>I say \u201c<em>for themselves\u201d<\/em> because Communication is <em>not<\/em> a \u2018one size fits all!<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s where Emotional Intelligence (EQ) comes into it. And that is often the part that people believe they <em>don\u2019t<\/em> need!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">\u201cCourageous engagement with the heart activates change. Feelings grant us the chance to connect meaningfully with our world.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">What begins as emotional science leads us inexorably to integration, building emotional capacity and resiliency.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">-Dr. Rob Murray-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The human subconscious mind is more amazing then we could ever imagine and there will be things about your mind that you know, and things that you don\u2019t know or understand.<\/p>\n<p>You will know that science has established that the subconscious mind controls 95% of our life, including every physical movement, the decisions we make and actions we take, our emotions and behaviours.<\/p>\n<p>So, our subconscious mind is always awake and never sleeps when we do because it controls all vital functions in our body, e.g., our heartbeat, blood circulation etc. While we are asleep, our <em>conscious<\/em> mind becomes dormant while our subconscious mind is active.<\/p>\n<p>Science has also proven that we still hear and process everything in our mind while asleep.<\/p>\n<p>You will have formed daily habits; your morning routine, how you travel around, what and when you eat, sleep, exercise etc. These have become second nature.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same with how we tend to communicate and our subconscious mind is operating in the background.<\/p>\n<p>But the thing is, how do we know what we need to change when we are locked into these habits we have established?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where EQ comes in. If we want to change the way we communicate, we have to be aware of our habit or tendency and <em>consciously choose<\/em> to do something differently.<\/p>\n<p>For instance; if apprehension holds us back in the way we communicate, we can acknowledge that (we are human!) and then decide to try something different this time (using our EQ to overcome it and our conscious mind to change that habit).<\/p>\n<p>Because, to be a really good communicator, we have to manage our emotions first before we can put our communication techniques into practice.<\/p>\n<p>And <em>that<\/em> is where there has to be a stage that happens after we learn something new so we can dovetail it all together, whether that be Coaching or whatever support we have in place. That way, your new habits will become part of your subconscious mind operating in the background!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">\u201cTo understand something, you must go to the source.
