 Brain Stem – connects the spinal cord
OF THE BRAIN and the brain. It controls functions that
keep people alive such as breathing,
heart rate, blood pressure and food
digestions. Those activities without

 Cerebellum- Things are different in the cerebellum. That
region controls voluntary movement.
When you want to lift your fork, wave your hand and brush
your hair or wink to someone, you from the thought and
then an area in cerebellum translates your will into action.
It happens so quickly.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
 Emotion is a subjective state of mind triggered by a
certain stimuli or events which occur in the environment.
It is a reaction to a certain event that happens.
 EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EI)

 Emotional Intelligence (EI) was created by two researchers – Peter

Salovey and John Mayer but was popularized by Daniel Goleman in his
1995 book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.
Goleman discussed that EI is important to be
successful in academic, professional, social, and
interpersonal aspects of one's life and a skill that can
be taught and cultivated in schools.
 Emotional intelligence is defined as the capacity to
be aware of, control, and express one's emotions,
and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously
and empathetically. Therefore, it is the key to both
personal and professional success.
 FOR GOLEMAN EI IS THE ABILITY TO:

1) Recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions;

2) Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others.
This means being aware that emotions can drive our behavior
and impact people either positively or negatively. Then, it is
essential to learn how to manage those emotions especially when
under pressure.
 FIVE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.

 Self-awareness knowing what one is

feeling at any given time and
understanding the impact those moods
have on others.
 Self-regulation controlling or
redirecting one’s emotions;
anticipating consequences before
acting on impulse.
 Motivation utilizing emotional factors
to achieve goals, enjoy the learning
process and persevere in the face of
obstacles.
 Empathy sensing the emotions of others.
 Social skills managing relationships,
inspiring others and inducing desired
responses from them.
 Based on Goleman’s study, how a person react in a situation
may influence others and affect efficiency. Therefore, a
person must avoid making decisions when under pressure,
feeling down or when experiencing too strong emotions
such as when too happy or very angry. It may lead to wrong
or inappropriate decisions and actions.
