o Describe your feelings (Min. 100 words) All points must be addressed :

What were your feelings?

Many feelings were presented at the event , nostalgia for the company that is left after 3
years, gratitude for the manager who gave me the opportunity to have been part of the
company for a long time and to have learned from all colleagues , concern for the
reaction of the work leaders when knowing the decision I was making , but on the other
hand happiness and expectation before the new job, excitement of knowing my job and
the activities that I had to carry out , sadness of leaving so many people who supported
me for all these years and they shared so much with me.
o How did you feel about the situation?

I felt a lucky person for having the opportunity to grow for so long at a professional level
and with fear of seeing the reaction of the boss at that moment when I gave up my
resignation aligned so that this decision is for personal and organizational benefit. , on
the other hand, business malaise can generate nonconformity in employees when dealing
with stress and a dense work environment, in which productivity is not achieved, but
rather a job fear for everything offered in the two jobs, I felt receptive to everything
new.

o What feelings other parties involved displayed?

o The reaction of my work leaders was divided, while the manager is upset by the decision,
takes a demanding and controversial position, in addition to trying to challenge me with
an economic offer; The immediate boss was happy about the decision and the new
growth opportunity that she had, offering her full support with the handover of the
position, as well as the open position to achieve reorganization of the company in terms
of the activities it performed. The colleagues from the other areas expressed themselves
with nostalgia and wished me the best successes in this new professional project, in the
end the company had a positive change.

Note: you can review a list of feelings at


http://www.psychpage.com/learning/library/assess/feelings.html to help you better
define your emotions.

o Reflect on your answer to part ‘a’ (Min. 100 words) All points must be addressed:

 Did your emotions influence the other party in any way?

My feelings of nostalgia and radical effect in the face of the decision at the beginning one
feels anger and rejection that can cause the leader to explode, which was avoided, it was
decided to speak calmly with the employee r , generate an atmosphere of trust to
know the reasons and I take the position if it is possible to find a way to retain myself,
on the other hand, due to the feeling of gratitude, the leaders felt happy for the
recognition that I achieved in front of what I learned in the company and professional
growth, finally my feeling of joy spread to other colleagues.
o Did your emotions alter or influence the situation?

The honest, sincere manifestation regarding the reasons for the resignation altered the
situation from the point of view of change. The resignation is something natural that
must be accepted. Cycles always come to an end and these must be taken as learning,
not as failures, it is the inclination of the attitude of the work leaders, they realized that
the resignation will promote the improvement of the area in question, and of the
organization and although it can be very natural to feel you  upset, or worried s about
this situation and the changes that came in the company.

o What do you think about your emotional reactions?

I think that my feelings were coherent with the situation presented at the work level, in
the end reconsidering that one must remain calm, analyse the situation based on
evidence and generate alternatives before making decisions without negative feelings
towards the people who are part of the situation and that in some way the decision and
the emotions of joy and nostalgia for the new opportunity are part of it, I felt calm
knowing that what I felt is due to all the experiences lived before this situation.
o Reflect on how you controlled and would like to control your own emotions (Min
100 words). All points must be addressed :

o How did you control your own emotions? What did you do well?

I think that I managed the emotions to the extent that the reactions of all the people
who are involved in this job change job situation were presented, The intense feelings as
part of the emotions during a working day, are strong accomplices when taking
measures before a negative situation, so at the organizational level control these
feelings with effective corporate communication , the reactions managed to mediate in a
positive way in the environment in which all communications were handled and it was
achieved correctly to have a connection with everyone around.

o What would you do differently if you were faced with a similar situation again?

Differently I would have liked Although the team and friends certainly know


before my departure, it is important to have car the official announcement with an
assertive and optimistic tone free to labour leaders, on the other hand, had sought a
replacement where you can report go the work at the least two people or divId go the
workload evenly among all members to avoid saturating the team of the organization,
others to give more time to the company to train and deliver the activities that I was
performing in a more professional way.

o How could you have changed your behaviour to achieve a better outcome?

The attitudes and feelings that were had in this situation of my life, I think they were
correct, but I would prefer to improve the activities that followed later in this situation,
the behaviour can be improved the attitudes of fear and sadness were more positive to
face the anger of some people for the decisions I was communicating, in addition to
having a more assertive communication with the leaders of areas and other people in the
organization, you can start by thanking the opportunity they gave you when hiring me in
the company or for what you learned for as long as I have worked there.

o Action plan.

clear steps. Use the table below to record your answer

memories to others that each story is achieved by learning and share great experiences.

o Was there any behaviour that you displayed (for example, inappropriate humour or
defensiveness)? Did you manage to control it? What could you do to control it?

On the first day, at the work meeting, I had a feeling of being defensive in trying to have
my ideas and opinions respected, I managed to control them in a very professional way

meeting, you could have more preparation before each meeting to demonstrate each
idea more properly.

1. Understand your emotions and how they affect others. Reflect on Part 2 of
Task1. (Min. 150 words) All points must be addressed Address and
discuss the following questions in the form of personal notes:

o What do you now understand about your emotions/behaviours?

Emotions like these are part of human nature. They give us information about
what we are experiencing and help us to know how to react. Emotions come and
go. Most of us feel many different emotions throughout the day. Some last only a
few seconds. Others may last a little longer, triggering a mood. Emotions can be
mild, intense, or anything in between. The intensity of an emotion can depend on
the situation and the person.

o How do you think that those emotions/behaviours affect the people around you?

There are no good or bad emotions, but there are good and bad ways of
expressing emotions or acting on them which directly affects all those involved in
the processes. Learning to express emotions in acceptable ways is a separate skill,
emotion control, which is based on being able to understand emotions to convey
and not negatively affect others.

o How do you think that those emotions/behaviours impact on your ability to achieve
your goals?

Emotional awareness helps us to reveal what we need and want (or don't want).
It helps us build better relationships. This is because being aware of our emotions
helps us to speak clearly about our feelings, avoid or better resolve conflicts, and
overcome difficult feelings more easily to achieve goals.

o What underlying causes of your emotions/behaviours have you identified?

Some emotions are positive: like feeling happy, loving, self-confident, inspired,
happy, interested, grateful, or included. Other emotions may seem more negative:
like feeling angry, resentful, scared, embarrassed, guilty, sad, or worried. Both
positive and negative emotions are normal and adjacent.

o What do you think are your own emotional triggers?

The people evaluate events experienced in a process that serves to relate the
events with people and their goals, and evaluation of these events which
stimulates emotions.

o What can you do to break the cycle and manage your emotional triggers? How can
you improve the way that you manage your emotions/behaviours?

the first step in this process consists of knowing how to clearly define what we are
feeling. Having a large emotional vocabulary is essential, we need to incorporate
into our minds a clear concept of emotions more complex and elaborate, having
identified the emotion, the next step is to accept their presence. This does not
mean not trying to deny or run from what we feel. Allowing ourselves to feel fully
helps reduce the intensity of the emotion: when it comes, let it be and it will go.

o How can you better manage your stress?

Set priorities. Decide what to do and what to expect and learn to say no to new
tasks if you are overwhelmed and take time to do relaxing activities that you
enjoy.

2. Review the answers/feedback in the table above (Min. 150 words). All points
must be addressed

Reflect on the answers received and address the following questions in the form of personal
notes:
o Was there anything that surprised you in the way others see you? What surprised
you (or did not surprise you) and why?

I was surprised by the way each person thinks, but the one that impacted me the most
was the ability of tenacity and the behavior to argue with myself, because it is a facet of
emotions and form that I did not identify.

o How do you think those personal traits and behaviours affect you in your personal
and professional life?

Positive emotions have other benefits. Instead of limiting us, they affect our brains and
increase our awareness, attention, and memory. They help absorb more information, hold
multiple ideas at the same time, and understand how ideas relate to one another. By
identifying each of our emotions we can know what worries us or makes us feel good, and
with this we can have better relationships with the people around us and, even more,
success in every area of our life (even at work). Through emotional self-control, we manage
our feelings and behaviors. Through the control of positive and negative emotions we can

experience and express them properly.

o What can you do to improve the way you manage your emotions/behaviours?
Discuss this question clearly referring to the dimensions of self-control,
trustworthiness, conscientiousness, adaptability, achievement orientation and
initiative.

By identifying each of our emotions we can know what worries us or makes us feel
good, and with this we can have better relationships with the people around us
and, even more, success in every area of our life (even at work). Through
emotional self-control, we manage our feelings and behaviors. Through the control
of positive and negative emotions we can experience and express them properly.

3. Now reflect on your workplace behaviours. In the form of personal planning


notes, outline how can you model workplace behaviours to demonstrate good
management of your emotions. (Min. 100 words)

More control over your emotions will help develop a strong mentality and
achieve better results in the relationships, in the career. Precise words are
important. That is why it is good that when you experience a strong emotion,
be it positive or negative, you take the time to identify how to name it. She
emphasizes that our emotions give us useful information and help us to act to
defend ourselves, express ourselves and attend to our needs. Understanding
our emotions is how we form authentic and meaningful relationships with
ourselves and with others. Reflect on your emotions every day.

1. At the labour level, a situation of frustration was experienced with the decision of
the company's management to unfairly withdraw a colleague from without any
justification. The first step in dealing with frustration is certainly acknowledging
it. Acknowledging our stumbles or feeling disappointed does not make us weak. If
you know your capabilities, know how to exploit your talents and trust what you
are capable of, it will take much more than a bad streak to bring you
down. Recognize your skills and cultivate them to go even further. Those with
emotional intelligence see every fall as an opportunity to see what went wrong and
readjust their strategy. They are practical: they preserve what works for them,
discard what does not, and thus manage to have an increasingly effective growth
strategy. the most successful people in managing their emotions (and their
businesses) have the habit of meditating daily.

2. What Emotional Intelligence offers us are tools and skills with which to better
resolve the complexities of our social contexts. It is a channel of self-knowledge
and a transformative quality. The first step in developing emotional intelligence is
learning to recognize our emotions and feelings and then understand where they
come from and be able to control them.

f. Emotions are information
g. Trying to ignore emotions doesn't work
h. Trying to hide your emotions doesn't always work
i. Decisions must incorporate emotions to be effective
j. Emotions follow logical patterns
 
3. Emotional Intelligence at work is involved in making favourable decisions, the
quality of interpersonal relationships, and the appropriate control of emotions such
as anger, frustration or apathy, among others. In this way, the influence that
Emotional Intelligence has at work on the capacity of the leader within the
professional environment becomes evident and becomes, indisputably, the
determining factor for the success of the executive, far above other types of
intelligence.

4. As an example, we can review some practices of emotional intelligence applied to


moments of discussion in the work environment, in such a way that
communication with work teams can be improved:
 
 Connect with your own emotions: a work discussion can lead to a much more
aggressive situation. However, the person who applies emotional intelligence at
that time, will identify her emotion to take time, calm down, and then speak calmly
again.
 Connecting with the emotions of others: understanding what makes people react
negatively is a way of applying emotional intelligence, since it allows you to find
solutions instead of making things worse.
 Express emotions: if a person feels bad about what he said to his interlocutor, it is
better that he knows it, in such a way there will be a mutual recognition that
things got out of control and that it will not happen again.
 Do not repress emotions: it is not convenient to keep your feelings. These
expressions must come out at the right time, so that they are not dragged into
other spaces that have nothing to do with the situation experienced. This happens
a lot when problems are taken from the office to the home or vice versa.

critical incidents in their conversation. Once the competencies have been
identified, in the interview it is time to ask about situations in which the candidate
had put these competencies to the test. It is very important to know what you
thought, what you did or how you felt in certain situations to better understand
how you act in contexts similar to those that could be found in our organization.

Structure the interview to provide multiple opportunities for the candidate to test
their values and potential skills in order to be successful in the role.
