Me And My EQ,The Beginning

April 16th, 2007 by Galba Bright

Can I tell you a story about how real people increase their EQ? Let’s start at the beginning.

Feedback at the Tune up Your EQ Blog

When I wrote theTools for Transformation One Year On blog post, I reminded readers that:

“This blog gives you the opportunity to engage with the Newsletter, by posting your comments, feedback and ideas. What you say will strongly influence where Tools for Transformation™ goes in 2007.”

I then went on to ask:

“How would you like to engage with the Tools for Transformation Newsletter™. Is there an EQ topic that you would like me to write about?”

In that post I explained that I have always felt that my work on EQ was a joint endeavour between myself and readers, listeners and people who attended my Learning Programmes:

A reader, Ellen Weber said:

“It’s a terrific blog to visit and I would like to hear real stories about how EQ impacts your own workplace, as well as how it can change and benefit an entire community - as you see it rolled out practically.”

In response to Ellen’s comment, I said:

“I feel that the Workbook is an act of co-creation because it was inspired by a one hour radio interview that I did when I launched the free Tools for Transformation Newsletter and the
subsequent email feedback and conversations that I had with many of the listeners. Listeners played an important role in refining the Workbook by asking questions about areas that were unclear and by suggesting amendments.

I learnt that the radio, a motivated person and useful content can produce exceptional outcomes.

My deeper thoughts and feelings about the feedback

Ellen’s comment also got me thinking about effective ways to discuss and share the impact of Emotional Intelligence. More and more ideas flooded my mind. I decided to contact the 4 people who had shared their stories. I explained the background to the discusson at the blog. In the next post in the series, I’ll tell you what happened next.
