Emotions are your strength
Have you ever felt that being emotional is a sign of weakness?
I’m here to tell you that, as a matter of fact, you can be emotional and strong.
After hearing the same mental model from thousands of people — that showing emotion in the workplace is a weakness; the idea of writing The Emotionally Strong Leader was born.
I’m a highly sensitive person and also an Emotional Intelligence expert. Some might find this contradicting, but I want to share a new perspective with you that may just change your mind.
Emotions are not weaknesses. Emotions are our strengths.
Emotions are the language that unites us and something that we all have in common despite how diverse or dispersed across the world we may be. The moment we stop trying to avoid what makes us similar is the moment we’ll become a more connected society.
Those who are emotionally intelligent are very aware of their emotions. They’re in control of them and eventually master how to use them in the most beneficial way possible — enhanced communication skills, improved decision-making tactics and the ability to build solid relationships. They help us understand others and, most importantly, ourselves.
Emotions give you the power to interact effectively with others, so yes, being emotional and emotionally expressive makes you a strong individual.
