The content of this course is drawn from the collective research of the Consultant who developed
this module. She is a Certified & Licensed EQ trainer from three organizations based in the US
with focus on Emotional Intelligence. It includes all major findings of long-term research, related
doctoral studies from universities and other leading research efforts, extensive research that
consulted papers, books, instruments, web sites, and other relevant sources in addition to the
consultant’s experience.

It also includes EI research initiatives of the Emotional Intelligence Training and Research Institute
(EITRI), dissertations, articles, current research, and webfolio.

This course was designed specifically for the needs, concerns, and context of the HSP and the role
of EQ in helping them deliver patient-centered care. It is not advised by the developers of this
module to apply the content found herein to other trainings such as leadership training, mentoring
and coaching, or human resource/talent management. While the principles of EQ can be applied to
the aforementioned topics, context framing, the characteristics of the trainee audience, as well as
the unique needs of the industries to which the audience belongs require nuanced content to
achieve the desired learning outcomes. Effective EQ modules look first at the development needs
of the participants, and a cut-and-paste method will inevitably shortchange the participants and
diminish the power of harnessing EQ in their lives.

Overview

This training module strengthens the level of awareness among HSPs on how emotions affect
actions and the importance of Emotional Intelligence as a foundational competency in improving
patient care with the right interpersonal skills and influence.

In general, this module helps HSPs in their effective delivery of patient-centered care and
understand how emotions affect job performance and productivity. The focus is on improving and
developing the capacity of HSPs to maintain a more positive interpersonal relations with their
clients, express empathy, and effectively deliver key FP, MCH, and TB messages to their clients.

This foundational program focuses on soft skills development among HSPs that would strengthen
their thought processes, consequently affecting their actions and behaviors leading to more
effective client/patient care, interpersonal skills, approach and patient relationships.

As HSPs greatly influence their patients, based on research, influence is a key component of
collaboration and building relationships. Research with the Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence
Assessment on 321 healthcare professionals, shows that a very strong link between EQ and
influence. Those with higher EQ scores also had a 37% advantage on influence.
This four- hour session aims to provide awareness and appreciation on the impact of emotions at
work. Training methodologies include lectures, group discussions, team sharing and personal
reflections.

As part and parcel of the DOH IPC/C training, this EQ module complements other parts of the
IPC/C module with the objective of improving the inter-personal skills of HSPs. It is designed to be
an integral module that builds on and provides a level of unity with the rest of the modules under
IPCC.

SLIDE 1

Display the Title Slide as the


participants arrive

Welcome participants to the session

Let the participants introduce


themselves.You can ask them to make
use any letter of their name, to describe
how they feel today, or any creative
introduction to describe their emotion
when they entered the training room.

Introduce yourself and welcome


everyone to the session

Say:
This session has been designed to help you
as HSPs with the basic awareness,
knowledge and principles of how we can
effectively link our actions as health care
service providers with our patients. And all
these are anchored on the foundational
competency known as Emotional
intelligence.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|7

SLIDE 2

Activity :
Pre-testing form will be distributed at this
point and faci will simply inform all
participants that we would like them to
assess their knowledge on Emotional
Intelligence

Say :
Many of you may have heard about the concept
of Emotional Intelligence. And you may have
questions about:
• Why Emotional Intelligence? Why EQ ?
• Does Managing Emotions really matter?
• Does it make a difference?
• How is Managing Emotions relevant to our
work life as HSPs?
• What has emotions got to do with our work?
• What skill is needed to manage emotions?
Can it be developed? How?

In this session, we will be guiding you about the


impact of our emotions to ourselves, to others
and to our work.
You may opt to draw on the white board the 3
buckets of our learning framework. . Manage
Oneself, Manage Others and Manage Work and
ask the attendees which bucket is the most
challenging.
You can also remind the attendees that we are
here to level up in our competencies as HSPs.
(you can write this on the white board provided)
And the dimensions of competencies would be
Knowledge, Skill and Attitude. You may ask them
their thoughts on which of these competencies is
the hardest to develop.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|8

SLIDE 3

Say:
The design if this module for all HSPs has
been simplified and today we will have the
chance to understand how our emotions can
harm, can heal and how our emotions would
have a huge impact into our health and that
of our patients.

We never really get to discuss about the


effects of our emotions, but today we will
deep dive into the science of emotions and
how this would have an impact into our well –
being, its healing impact and into our
physiological state.

We all our own various experiences in dealing


with our emotions and today we would like
make sense of the impact of these emotions.

SLIDE 4

Say:
Our overall learning objectives (or high level
objectives) would be to create awareness in
understanding the principles of Emotional
Intelligence and to recognize the value of
applying EQ into our life and work as health
service providers.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|9

SLIDE 5

Say:
In the next 4 hours, we will be guiding you
about the impact of our emotions to our self,
to others and to our work.

Learning Objectives are as follows:


• You will be able to understand the
science of emotions
• Understand the skill needed to
manage emotions
• Learn how to improve self –efficacy by
harnessing the power of Emotional
Intelligence

SLIDE 6

Say:
Our agenda would be three-fold and we will
be discussing about The Feelings,The Brains
and the Balance.

We have designed a program where we get


to create awareness and connect these 3
areas. And as we got through each part, we
will be sharing specific objectives.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|10

SLIDE 7

Say:

Before we start, would appreciate if we can


turn off our cellphones or put them at silent
mode. We only have four hours and this is a
chance for us to display one dimensions of
Emotional Intelligence which is Self
Management.

Allow me to quickly share the impact of


looking at your phone. Any message will
always elicit an emotional response from you
and 3 things might happen. . . you get
stressed, you get excited and you tune off.
And it would be a waste if we miss out on
certain parts of this training design.

We all want you to be in tune with how you


feel today so to start this session, allow
yourself to share something extreme and
something quite about yourself.

Give them 2 to 3 minutes

Consider how we have described ourselves


and reflect on how this tie into the emotions
we most often experience

Then say, kindly share your descriptors or


what you wrote to the people on your
table
Give them 5 minutes

Note to faci: The objective is for them to


elevate their comfort level with the other
attendees.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|11

SLIDE 8 + 9
Say:

We now get into the first part of this


session and we call this the “ Feeling Part”

The specific objectives of this module are:


• learning about the basic emotions
• understanding what drives emotions
• understanding how emotions drive us

Then say:
Let’s start with a team huddle and allow a
few minutes for the team to discuss and
ask attendees to validate their answers.

Do we control our emotions control or do


our emotions control us?

Then conclude by saying that we have


always thought that emotions control
us, today we will try to make sense that
indeed we do have control over our
emotions.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|12

SLIDE 9+10

Say:
Let’s start this session with a story.

Read the story and ask them:


• Why do you think he ended his life?
• What propelled the father to be feel
guilty?

Make the attendees answer and


conclude by saying that all the red
words (red fonts) that they read on the
slide are all emotions. And these
emotions move people (add more of
your personal thoughts into the
discussion) and people move towards
actions.

Conclude by saying that if only the


father was able to manage his emotions,
things would have been better for him
and for his child.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|13

SLIDE 11
Say:
As service providers, we are exposed to
different people ---are exposed to various
news daily and let’s take a recent case
featured.

Faci to please start connecting


this slide with situations of
Health service providers (faci
can give specific examples here
or you may opt to ask the
participants)

Note: Please find a story about a


service provider or service facility
which failed to deliver services,
illustrating emotions and attitude of the
HSP
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|14

SLIDE 12

Then process the slide/ situation;


emphasize the ideal role of the service
provider to include emotions and
attitude

Display Slide 12

Say:
Please reflect on this exercise and will give
you 5 minutes to work on this.
Initiate a team huddle and allow the
attendees to share their answers

Gather insights from them.

Conclude by saying that definitely how


we feel would really have an impact into
our actions. And being angry will also
hurt others as well, And it would be
best if we are mindful that we need to
manage ourselves especially when we
are angry or upset.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|15

SLIDE 13

Who I am precedes what I do------


anything that we do is always reflective
of what we think.

Personal Engagement precedes


corporate engagement ---- How can I
possibly be effective at work if I am not
effective in leading my own life.

Our mental state at home if not


managed can always have an impact in
our work life.

Making a Choice --- it is imperative that


our choices emanate from a healthy
mindset. The need to reshape our

SLIDE 14 + 15

Self- Awareness handouts and give the


attendees time to answer (optional as
this is part of the pax guide already)

Say:
There are circumstances at work when we
get to manage our emotions well, kindly
recall an experience and another
circumstance where you were not able to
manage your emotions.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|16

SLIDE 16

Say:
Given the situations that you have shared in
our previous workshop, please share your
thoughts on the ff question

(Team sharing):
Given the 6 categories that you see on this
slide, which category would you consider as
the foundation of all the other categories.

Validate their answers (it redounds to


having a huge impact into
RELATIONSHIPS)

Add by saying that :

Effectiveness – capacity to generate POSITIVE


results

Relationships – capacity to build and maintain


POSITIVE network

Health – capacity to maintain optimal energy

Quality of Life - capacity to maintain balance


and satisfaction

Decision Making – capacity to make sound


and meaningful decisions

Influence – capacity to inspire, encourage and


provide guidance to others

Conclude by saying that all these aspects


are present in our home life and our work
life and they affect each other but if there
is one category that connects all the rest, it
would be relationships.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|17

SLIDE 17

Say:
The surprising truth about managing our
emotion is the impact this would have on
our relationships.

As health service professionals, we all can


relate to this and it is critical that given our
role and position, we need to be mindful
that anything and everything that we do
affect our relationships at work – with
ourselves and with our patients.

SLIDE 18
Say:
For purposes of clarity, allow us to share the
four basic emotions:

Anger – immediate danger in the present.


What is the impact of anger into your day?
(ask attendees)

Fear – potential danger in the present


I am sure that we all worry a lot, and worry is
part of fear. It is the fear of the future.
Let me ask you, what is impact of fear into
your day (ask attendees)

The 3rd emotion is Sadness and it is the loss in


the present
Ask : What is the impact of being sad into
your work? Your day?

Last but not the least, we have the emotion of


happiness which I am sure everyone in this
room would like to have.

Can you recall the feeling of happiness that you


have recently experienced? What was the
impact into your work?

Conclude by saying that emotions drive people


and people drive performance
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|18

SLIDE 19
Ask the attendees, of these four basic
emotions, how many can possible be
detrimental or dangerous?

Three out of four emotions can be


dangerous thus the need to manage them.
75% of how we feel everyday IF NOT
MANAGED can be detrimental to our
RELATIONSHIPS

Conclude by saying that anger is the worst


emotions and that truly emotions have
huge impact into our daily life. We are not
saying that we shouldn’t be angry, sad or
fearful. What we are saying is that we
shouldn’t stay long being angry, fearful or
sad.

Ask the attendees their reflections, then


correlate their answers to Slide number 15
(6 categories)

SLIDE 20
Say:
Anger is truly the worst emotion and I am sure
that everyone can relate to this. Remember the
story about the dad and the son?

Have you ever thought of what anger can do


to your our physiological state?
You can elicit some answers from the
attendees.

Anger is the worst emotion and as Buddha


would say ” Holding on to anger is like
grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing
it to someone else, yet you are the one who
gets burned “

How does your body respond when you feel


angry?

Give time for them to share their answers


Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|19

SLIDE 21
Say:
This slide shows that we actually have a range of
emotions and at the core would be the four basic
emotions.

The range of emotions can vary in terms of


intensity.

The Plutchik Model helps us to understand the


progression of emotions. Each petal of the flower
shows one of the 4 primary emotions.

At the points you see a less intense variation; in


the center a more intense one. In between are
secondary emotions – a combination of 2 primary
emotions. Only a few are shown, but it gives you
some examples; eg when you feel both anger and
anticipation, you have a feeling called
aggressiveness. When you feel joy and trust, the
result is love

Conclude by saying that since by far we now


know that 75% of how we feel everyday can
potentially be dangerous into our relationships
with people, it is imperative that we manage
these emotions.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|20

SLIDE 22
Say:
By far, we are now made aware that our
thought process elicit a certain kind of
emotions that propels us to act.
It is NOT our thought process that make us
act. It is the emotion coming from that
thought.

Note: Put on the white board TEA


( Thoughts, Emotions, Actions)

Classic example:
You look at your phone during our session
and you read a text message or an email.
That message will always elicit a certain kind
of emotion that will propel you to do either of
these 3 things:

1. You get stressed


2. You get excited
3. You tune off

It simply supports the principle that our


actions come from the emotions that we feel
from our thought process, thus the need to
reshape our mental landscape.

You can write on the flipchart TEA – as a


reference point throughout the session
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|21

SLIDE 23
Say:
In a scale of 1 to 4, where 4 would mean
good management of emotions and 1
would mean low score. . . how would you
rate your skill in managing your emotions.

Allow time for participants to share


their answers with their table mates.

Conclude by asking: With the information


that we have shared by far, you think you
can now honestly say that managing
emotions is possible? (allow the
attendees to give their reflections)

SLIDE 24

Say:
What exactly are emotions?

Emotions are Physiological experience


which manifests itself in neuro-muscular,
respiratory, cardiovascular and
hormonal changes including
modifications in thought and behaviour.

With this simplified definition of


emotions, we are now enlightened why
our body responds to how we feel.

Then refer back to our TEA approach.


For every thought, there is an emotion
that will propel us to act.

Managing these emotions would surely


have a huge impact into our actions.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|22

SLIDE 25
Say:
Let’s all have a table huddle, please discuss
if you agree with this statement “ “We are
shaped by our thoughts, we become what
we think about.”

Get inputs from each group and ask


them to defend their answers.

There will be cases when some would


disagree but just respect them.

Then share with them that yes, the life


each one of us lives is the life within the
limits of our own thinking.

Talk about the Law of Attraction: Law of


attraction is the term used for the belief
that thinking positively about something will
bring you positive results!

It could be anything from more money, any


material item, new relationships, better luck,
better interactions with people, and having
things work in your favor.

It's an easy concept to grasp, but it may


take practice and consistency to get it
down.

Conclude by saying that what our mind


can conceive our body can achieve.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|23

SLIDE 26
Say:
As the famous American novelist,
Ernest Hemingway had taught us

• Before you Spend. . . Earn


• Before you Criticize.. . Wait
• Before you Talk. . . Listen
• Before you Pray. . . Forgive
• Before you Quit. . . Try
• Before you React. . . Think

Conclude by saying that the first five


are all reactions, and it is imperative
that we need to think well. Before we
react, we need to Think
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|23

Part 2:
The Brain - Discovering
Emotional Intelligence
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|24

SLIDE 27 + 28

Say:
We now move on to Part 2 of this learning
session – The Brains.

The specific objectives of this module are as


follows:
• Learn parts of the brain involved in EQ
• Understand how the brain helps
manage emotions
• Learn the hallmarks of the
Transformational Theory of EQ

As HSP, which state do you think is most


helpful for us in dealing with our patients.

Get the attendees to answer and ask


why they think that the emotions on the
left side of the screen is most helpful.

Emotions do come from our thought


process and propels us to act the way
we do.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|25

SLIDE 29
Say:
The phenomenal power of our brain can truly
guide us into thinking either positively or
negatively.

Out brain actually has the feeling brain at the


Limbic system where emotions reside, then
we have the thinking brain at the Neo-
Cortex.

We need to have a good balance for both.


We need the Thinking brain to make us think
and we need our feeling brain to create
balance for our actions.

SLIDE 30

Say:
The challenge though is that our brain is
hard – wired to give emotions the upper
hand, meaning without the critical
processing, for any stimulus we actually
FEEL it first, thus the need to process and
balance our thinking process and our
feeling process so our actions are directed
into something more beneficial for us.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|26

Part 3:
The Balance: Skill Needed
to Manage Emotion
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|27

SLIDE 31 + 32
Say:
Given the awareness we have on both the
Thinking and the Feeling, let’s get into the
next module on how do we create the
balance for both.

The specific objectives for this module would


be :

The objectives for Part 3 are:

• Learning the four dimensions of EQ

• Understanding why EQ is important on a


personal level and to your work as HSPs

• Practicing how to apply EQ to different


scenarios

A balance with one purpose: creating a win-


win situation for us and for others around us.

SLIDE 33
Say:
What skill do we need to manage these
emotions?

In 1995, the concept of Emotional Intelligence


was popularized by Daniel Goleman.

He came up with a book that was featured in


Time magazine as it stirred a lot of interest in the
business world.

e summarized the concept of EQ as the ability to


understand and manage one’s own emotions and
that of others.

As in our discussion, we now know the impact of


emotions into our actions and consequently into
our relationships with ourselves, with others and
with our work.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|28

SLIDE 34
Say:
Building relationships is critical in our life.
As HSPs, building and strengthening our
relationship with our patients would
definitely mean that their experiences with
us as DOH representatives truly resonates
with our vision to helping them.

SLIDE 35
Say:
This would be the hallmarks of the
transformational theory of EI.

Ask attendees : Why Transformational?

Say:
• Transformational as this is a changing the
way we should think.
• A belief that developing a healthy
emotional mind is intentional and skill
based
• EI behaviors are intentional and wise
behaviors engendered by reflective and
constructive thinking patterns
• A belief that constructive/reflective
thinking can be effectively taught/learned
• A Reflective Process for Life-Long
Transformational Learning
• EI is an Intelligent and Meaningful Self
Direction

This last sentence captures the core of why


we need to manage our emotions. As HSPs, it
is imperative that we direct ourselves into a
meaningful direction as this would have a
huge impact into our patients and into our
jobs in general.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|29

SLIDE 36 + 37

Say:
We will run through the 4
dimensions of Emotional intelligence

Say:
First dimension is Self Awareness:
knowing your strengths and
weaknesses

It’s the ability to know how you feel, why you


feel the way you do, and how your emotions
and actions affect people around you.

What are your beliefs? Do your emotions


and actions match what you say you believe?

Look at your relationships. How do these


people feel around you? Do you know when
you’ve been hurtful or insensitive?

What is your sense of “self-worth”? How do


you treat yourself? Does it affect how you
treat other people?
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|30

SLIDE 38
Say:

2nd dimension is Self-


Management
It’s about self-control—not
letting your disruptive
emotions get the better of you.

Do you know what circumstances


“trigger” your anger and other
disruptive emotions?

Are you able to admit it when you’re


wrong?

What skills do you need to develop—


like breathing, self-soothing, or self-
motivation—that will help you calm
down and control your reactions?

Are you mindful about the language


and emotions you use around other
people? Better if this ill be
demonstrated using SLEs
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|31

SLIDE 39
Say:
3rd Dimension is Social
Awareness—it’s about being
observant and making the
decision not to make every
situation about you.

How well can you recognize body language


—yours and others?

Do you understand the “games” people


sometimes play—saying one thing, doing
another, and feeling differently about the
whole thing?

Do you think before you speak or act?

4th Dimension is Relationship


Management—it’s about having
empathy, communicating clearly,
and treating others the way you’d
like to be treated.

How well can you handle and resolve


conflict?

Are you “kuripot” with praise? How can


you affirm other people more often?

Do you know the difference between


empathy and sympathy? How do you show
empathy?

We should probably invest in a strong


network of relationships – and in the
necessary skills you need to make that
happen.
Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence for HSPs: Facilitator Guide Page|32

SLIDE 40
Say:
As we are wrapping up our session, we
hope we have enlightened each one
about the importance of harnessing the
power of Emotional Intelligence as HSPs.

How this strengthens our relationships


with people at work and with our
patients, and how EQ links to
productivity and that constructive
thinking can be done as changes in our
“emotional brain” or the limbic system is
possible.

SLIDE 41
Say:
We now know that as HSPs, we greatly
influence our patients. And this influence
emanates from the experience that our
patients have with us.

It’s an exciting journey of self awareness
and self mastery, not a destination to
reach at one moment.
