A Top 8 EQ Tool From Anthony Mersino
August 31st, 2007 by Galba Bright
In the Top 8 Tools For Reflection series, 8 Tune up your EQ readers help us understand the essence of EQ.
Anthony Mersino from the EQ4PM Blog and author of the new book Emotional Intelligence for Project Managers: The People Skills You Need to Achieve Outstanding Results shared his insights on how he gets the most out of the his sessions with his emotional intelligence coach.
“I get a lot more out of my coaching sessions when I come in with an agenda. This could include follow-ups from my previous session, a recent situation, or a current issue or challenge.”
Anthony made these observations as part of a series of articles that he and I exchanged after Sarah Fister Gale interviewed us as part of her Beyond The Hype article for PMI’s Project Management magazine.
