Emotional Intelligence with Daniel Goleman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hoo_dIOP8k&feature=related

Apparently, "wisdom of feelings" are really as true as it sound. The back of the brain stores information, on what works, what didnt works. It is so primal though, that it has little or zero connection to the verbal cortex.

Therefore, we CANNOT really explain wisdom, only through feelings.
And, the feelings are what help us prioritize, and make decision.

SO, when coach
Joe Te told us to "prioritize", what he really means is, be in control of your emotions...

Effective leaders laugh 3 times more than mediocre leaders. Because the brain can notice the environment, and the feelings radiate.
Rapport is so important, having good chemistry actually makes people move together. We can see this when we feel calm around people we really love.

To get there, 1st people need to be paying full attention, attuned 2nd non-verbal communications are like a dance, 3rd feel good.
Being calm, for awhile, can even bring down the most abrasive of others.

3 things in a really strong relationship (when you're in love): 1. attachment, missing them when they're not there 2. Caring for them, care taking 3.Sex
Caring is the most important...

Meditating strengthens the Pre-Frontal Cortex, and helps you be a better leader, etc...

My lesson, the Political Implication?: In order to help someone, you must first learn how to empathize with them. (Of course, unless you're self-serving and have a lot of other motives)
