The document discusses whether a situation truly qualifies as a conflict and provides examples. It discusses strategic and empowered responses to conflict, as well as tools for addressing conflict such as communication styles and managing dialogue. The benefits of addressing conflict are outlined, along with the impacts of ignoring conflict such as damage to reputation and productivity. Physical and situational preparation for conflict is discussed. Myths and truths about conflict are presented, along with a six step conflict management process.
Mindfulness and EI Quotient.ppt
Mindfulness is paying attention to one's present experiences without judgment. It involves focusing on the present moment, such as the breath, without getting caught up in thoughts or emotions. Mindfulness meditation is designed to strengthen mindfulness by focusing on bodily sensations like breathing. Research shows meditation reduces stress and improves focus and emotional regulation. Emotional intelligence involves perceiving, understanding, and managing emotions. Mindfulness enhances emotional intelligence by improving awareness of feelings, understanding how schemas amplify emotions, and regulating reactions through openness and wisdom. Neuroscience suggests meditation balances brain hemispheres and increases communication between rational and emotional centers for optimal emotional functioning. Increasing mindfulness through meditation can thus increase emotional intelligence.
