Tune up your EQ

“A mind stretched by a new idea can never return to it’s original condition.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I invited readers to compose a new tagline for Tune up your EQ. On offer was the chance to win one of 3 free Tune up your EQ Coaching sessions with me.

The 30 suggestions that I received really made my brain hum. It showed me, once more how important it is for me to consider readers’ perspectives. Here’s a breakdown of those who took part in the tagline challenge.

Readers That Don’t Blog

My heartfelt thanks go to two readers from the Me and My EQ series, Tanika Williams and Jeanette Campbell, both from Jamaica. Tanika and Jeanette have been involved in the Emotional Intelligence journey since January 2006, when I first “met” them on IRIE FM, the Jamaican radio station.

My fellow consultant and friend, Eileen Heaven, also from Jamaica, offered her insights and ideas. I’m also grateful to Ray Hobby, from England. Ray is smart. You’ll discover why I say that in the forthcoming Me and My IQ series (no, it’s not a typo). Ray has been a great EQ sounding board to me since I started Tune up your EQ.

The New Tagline

I’ve decided on the tagline and I’ll write about it and what I learned from the process in the next few days.

I’m really grateful to everyone who took part and who expressed an interest.

Tune up your EQ Tip

I aimed to sincerely ask readers for their ideas so I could better understand how readers “see” Tune up your EQ. A feedback exercise like this could help to develop my social awareness, which is an important emotional intelligence competency.
