coworker. It can be hard to maintain professionalism at times when you
are frustrated so today we are here to answer the big question: How do
you control your emotions in the work place?

Emotional Intelligence
1 Nature/Calming Picture
As a young professional who has her very first job in the HRD field I
have learned that emotional intelligence is such big part of how others
see you in terms of professionalism. Although it may sound very simple
to be professional I can tell you from first-hand experience at some
point or another your emotions can take over in the workplace.
Whether you are having a bad day, you feel overwhelmed, feel
underappreciated, or any other reason that might cause you to have an
emotional outburst there are better ways to deal with the situation. At
my company we have decided to have a training session for our interns
on emotional intelligence to begin their professional development
before their very first job out of college.
Tips to develop your Emotional Intelligence

 Pay attention to your behavior and reactions to others: by doing

this you will become self-aware of what areas of emotional
intelligence you need to work on for yourself.
 Be open to feedback and criticism: Being open to feedback
without feeling personally attacked can help you recognize areas
you did not realize you needed work in.
 Empathize with others: Putting yourself in others shoes can help
you see their point of view.
 Be sure to actively listen to others when in a disagreement: When
having a disagreement, it us important to make sure to actually
listen to what the other person is saying instead of just waiting for
them to stop in order for you to continue “proving your point”.
 Practice responding instead of reacting: when you react to what
others say to you it can lead into an argument.

Remember emotionally intelligence is a lifelong process but in order to

develop you must be open minded.
