Ellen Janssen from the Positive Communication Blog made some follow up comments that anyone who wants to improve their emotional intelligence should consider. In the first part of her follow up, Ellen provided a compelling description of the essence of emotional intelligence. In part 2, she goes the extra mile and describes the main barriers to emotional intelligence.

“To me, the biggest barriers for people to getting to know themselves are two things: our culture in which achievement has the highest priority. In the school system, where all focus is on the IQ, in the ‘real world’ where who you are is determined by how much you earn and what job title you have…”

“The other barrier is ‘how busy we are’, busy to accomplish just those former goals of achievement. That overload of responsibilities makes it hard to take the time to sit back and listen to your heart. Time that is needed to find out who you really are”
