start help: HousePeople Project #1 :: Campaign to Increase Emotional Intelligence and Prevent Emotional Abuse - Help.com

sounds cool.
dont entirely understand it lol

I am interested in emotional intelligence. What are you planning to do? I am not able to wrap my brain around what your vision is.

I research Emotional Intelligence a few years back … I think it is a geat tool to help people understand themselves and heal themselves.

Key point, people have to be able to look at themselves critically for it to be therapeutic. Sometimes that is just too difficult for people.

I think what BD wants is for there to be easy access to help and support for people suffering emotional abuse, or abuse of any kind, where they can feel safe and able to share how they feel without feeling judged.

This is interesting. I am interested and will join soon. I am going out the door right now. My first question is how are you trying to stop the emotional abuse? Are you trying to persuade the abusers to stop or help those being abused learn how to deal with it and resolve the problem. The former is useless. The latter is the way to go. I have a lot of questions and input for you and can really help here. Are you going to come up with course work? Do you want life coaches to help out? Is there going to be a place on the site dedicated to emotional abuse in the work place? (there should be!) Any way… Very good idea and lets please see how soon we can implement it! I will look at the site in the morning. I have to run now.

I agree with your cause. I am not sure what I am supose to do on that website. I am a teacher who works with students with emotional disabilities, basically students with very low emotional IQs. All of them have suffered either severe emotional abuse and/or physically abuse. I feel that your missions is already a cause I fight for everyday!

okay! count me in! :)

The biggest differences between home and work place are 2 fold.

First: In the home you know every one well and are always familiar with your surroundings. You are in your comfort zone (regardless of how uncomfortable it may be). You have formed opinions about every one there and the people do not change. In the work place there in a rotation of new and old employees. There is less conformity and more change. This reduces the ability to create a comfort zone.

Second: Think carefully. How do you treat your family when you are angry? How do you treat your coworkers or boss when angry? These are NOT at all the same. Also, if we do a good enough job on the work place version, you may be surprised at the fact that employers will PAY for a course like this. The funds generated from this can go towards the home portion and free seminars done in public places to increase awareness.

I really haven’t had to much problems on the jobs because I noramlly work on 3rd shift and its only 1 or 2 other people there with me sometime its just me.

im an emotional spastic: my eiq is 92

I am still a little confused on what we are signing up for still. I think the difference between emotional intelligence in the work place or at home depends on your job. If you have a high stressed job dealing with people other people’s emotional stress, like ER doctor or a psychiatrist, than you need to have a very high emotional IQ. I think you emotional IQ should be a deciding factor in the line of work you choose. Remember many of us don’t deal with coworkers as much as we deal with other people. In my case it would be students, for others it may be patients, customers, or clients. Your emotional IQ plays such a vital role in how well you will do in the work place. Education does not account for this at all. A couple of years ago I remember see the National Spelling Bee Champion give an interview on TV, he couldn’t barely form a sentence. It was clear he very low social skills. What good is a brilliant brain if you can’t not function in a social world?

Sweet! count me in… Where do I sign up?!
