And we feel touched that you and your students used the wheel so effectively!

[Rhiannon Phillips-Bianco @RhiPhillipsB]

Great to use this emotions wheel from @JuntoInst to help students in Year 6 @SouthlandsGBIS develop their emotional literacy. This activity was a starting point. It's been wonderful to see how new vocabulary has crept into their speaking and written work too.

How do you seize control of your negative emotions? The power of your breath.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is the power to choose our response. In that response lies our growth and our freedom.” - Unknown

Remember that the space is only 6 seconds long.

The 1st step towards centeredness is disrupting the stimulus-reaction sequence that a negative emotion creates.

The 2nd step is creating time & space after the stimulus so that, instead of reacting, you respond.

Centeredness is the fulcrum of inspirational leadership.

Leaders who show centeredness & emotional balance:

1. think clearly & stay focused
2. know how to manage their emotions
3. stay composed, positive & unflappable

2/ You also have capacity to be a better version of yourself, and demonstrate resilience and integrity.

Pretty. Powerful. Stuff.

1/ Centeredness is the 1st building block of self-management.

As a leader, when you're centered & emotionally balanced, you're perceived as approachable, present, calm, trustworthy, steady & dependable.

Emotionally intelligent leadership is asking your team members with sincerity how they're doing, and listening to their response with your eyes, ears, and full physical attention.

Self-awareness is the foundation of your emotional intelligence.

It consists of emotional awareness, self-image, self-confidence, and personal clarity.

Declaring your values can be a powerful leadership tool.

1. forces reflection of what's important
2. helps w/ decisions
3. shows where you won't compromise
4. shows growth over time
5. reflects your humanity

We don't *find* our purpose...it is discovered or revealed.

Three exercises that can help:

1. a personal mission statement
2. writing our own eulogy or obituary
3. crafting an odyssey plan

Could it be that leaders can reduce burnout for themselves and their teams by embracing more feminine leadership traits like collaboration, empathy, and intuition?

"Clarity matters greatly to feeling motivated, creative, and committed to our workplaces. When we're clear about our personal values, we feel empowered, ready, and prepared to take action and be a leader."

#emotionalintelligence #selfawareness #purpose #values #clarity

[The Junto Institute @JuntoInst]

The final building block of self-awareness is personal clarity of values & purpose.

As a leader, this leads to conscientious & consistent decisions, an authentic "why", and smooths the path to self-management.

According to Gallup, of the 7 competencies managers need to build trust, all but one are based on emotional intelligence.

Self-confidence is a trait of emotionally intelligent leaders, displayed by:

- a positive attitude toward themselves w/o arrogance
- having their act together
- comfort admitting when they're wrong
- an accurate view of strengths & limits

#emotionalintelligence #leadership

[The Junto Institute @JuntoInst]

This week's theme is self-confidence, the 3rd block of self-awareness.

People w/ self-confidence have a sense of self-worth, believe in their abilities/skills/experiences, & have an accurate view of strengths & limits.
