And without that motivation, change is impossible.You have to develop an emotional connection to what you want to achieve that’s greater than your fear of stepping out of your comfort zone.People who are satisfied with their current results will not get any help from a coach.The process of developing emotional intelligence is much more difficult than intellectual and physical labor.If you’re unwilling to fail, you’re guaranteed to fail.The lack of emotional intelligence blinds us to reality, to be able to see ourselves and other people for who they are. The more emotionally intelligent you are, the easier it is to see it in other people or the lack of it.Without the development of our emotional intelligence, we're going to experience accelerating rates of drama, chaos, and conflict. The development of emotional intelligence is an experiential process. It is not an intellectual process. How somebody feels about you, whether they like or hate you, has nothing to do with you. It has to do with what's going on inside of themThe development of emotional intelligence represents the future of organizational change.Today’s Guest:Phil Johnson is the CEO and Founder of the Master of Business Leadership program.
