			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so much aspects of what makes a business successful. The most important of all, which companies are now looking into, is the emotional intelligence of their employees. This concept is today the basis of numerous industries to advance their people&#8217;s proficiencies and effectiveness in the workplace. Studies have shown that this allow for better work relations as well as responding to pressure that jobs demands among employees. For this same reason that a lot of companies take time and invest so much on online EQ surveys to get a better view on how well or not each employee are doing.</p>
<p>Emotionally intelligent people are evidently better, according to Daniel Goleman in his articles especially in business dealing. Daniel was not the first to take note of EQ; however, it was the great Charles Darwin in 1872.The dawning of Daniel&#8217;s explicit accounting of EQ paved the way for keeping tags of multimillion companies on making sure every one who works under them are equipped with good EQ. They usually use survey as a tool to support this need over the Net.</p>
<p>This begs the question on how does it help. Basically everyone has two major quotient which are part of the many facets of human characteristics. The most well-known is IQ, or intellectual intelligence quotient. This type of quotient is based on the person&#8217;s capability to store, process and analyze facts and data. IQ, for many years has been the basis for gauging how well a person will succeed in the future. For most of the years spent at school, IQ is being harness and developed in all of us. But, through the years it did not prove to be effective at yielding a valuable entity as being successful in business is concerned. This gave way to new strategies that Daniel offered on paying attention to, EQ. It is different with IQ in that, it is the quotient which delves on how constructive a person apportions, addresses and communicates reaction or pro-action on certain stress and strain of life. This is the confrontational or conciliatory processing of the psychological makings of humans. In other words IQ is the Brain whereas EQ is the Heart!</p>
<p>How does the two relate in business then? Well, IQ as earlier mentioned is purely based on the brains. This constitutes a person to sacrifice, one way or another, being self-conscious and affectionate. When a person is too intelligent he/she typically finds way to deal with situations on a factual or accuracy of the situation with no regards for reproach for as long as the facts are accurate. So, if they are suddenly confronted by a stressful situation which data and facts are not sufficient to resolve, they breakdown easily. On the other hand, EQ works the other way. A person of high EQ solves their problems based on experience, morality, and smarts. They don&#8217;t calculate but weigh on better judgments. It is said that if an average person is lacking in high IQ they compensate for higher EQ instead. This is the reason why most average Joes become millionaires in the business industry and the geniuses are still stack with their lab rats.</p>
<p>Inside the work place being able to relate with co-workers is a very crucial part of being able to effectively pull through the task at hand. This is where EQ comes into play. Being a team player and responding well to pressure is the best way to render productivity. This means better revenue for companies. EQ is needed by employees who are working in the office which social skills are needed in dealing with both clients and colleagues all day.</p>
<p>The inauguration of EQ surveys online is being utilized by these big companies to test the EQ status of their staff members. Although, this is only effective if answered in all honesty at least by reading on the survey staff are becoming more and more aware of how they fare in terms of EQ. There are also trainings offered online. As a computer based interface, this saves a lot of money and can facilitate more staff in one or two training sessions. This gives a huge difference in the conduct and behavior inside the workplace. Since, it brings new techniques on how to handle stress, pressure and other factors that is associated with work online base EQ surveys also need feedbacks to improve the data base. It&#8217;s a good relationship which both parties benefits from in the long run.</p>
<p>Even though, the fact remains that not everyone are successfully changed or improved by it there is still a handful to spare. That is why, if ever you are one of those who work for a multimillion dollar companies, for certain you already know what this article is pointing at. On the one hand, if you are about to work for a prestigious company knowing and learning from these surveys surely will help you to become a better person all together.</p>
<p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve just spent a couple of days with a client here in the Alps – an individual who would regard his <a href='http://www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>personal development</a> as his number one priority in his life, somebody who changed his daily routine, going to bed one hour earlier to give himself an extra hour each morning for meditation.  He has been regularly meditating for up to an hour every morning for the last two years.  The benefits?  His fitness and health have greatly improved.  His mental focus at work and at home has become laser-like and he has suddenly discovered a new-found creativity – in terms of news ideas and problem solving.   He is in the zone.</p>
<p>And, yet, some months ago, he found himself confronted by a major career decision and, as a result, found himself reverting to the indecision and <a href='http://www.gurdy.net/No-More-Stress.html' target='_blank'>stress</a> that had almost ruined his life some years ago, that had almost cost him everything.   So, his point was this – why, when it came to the push, did his meditation have no effect in the cut and thrust of daily life?   Well, for starters, he freely admitted that things would have even been a lot worse were he not meditating.  As he said to me, at the very least, he is one of a tiny minority of people who are fully aware of what they are thinking and fully aware when what they are thinking is unhelpful or damaging.</p>
<p>But the key point is that, unless you put what you learn in <a href='http://www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>meditation</a> into the moment to moment living of your everyday life, you will not get the downstream and all-important benefits of clarity, focus and presence of mind.  And, you don’t wait until everything goes wrong to start putting what you have learned in meditation into practice – you have to do it when things are just normal.  It’s just the same as training for a big match – you train beforehand to make sure that you can play your best on the day.</p>
<p>This training consists of regularly checking your state of mind throughout the day – every day.  If everything is running normally, chances are that your mind is wandering and distracted – after all, this is the normal adult default state of mind.   Research demonstrates that the normal adult pays just one percent attention to what is going on when all is running smoothly.  Obviously, this level of commitment to one’s life is not sufficient to have a great life – and this is why most people tend to be “not-too-bad”.   As a result of this, however, the ordinariness of everyday life provides us with the perfect training ground.  Simply stop yourself at various points during the day and check to see whether you are clear, present and focused or not – how you feel during meditation will be your guideline for comparative purposes.</p>
<p>If you’re not in a clear and present state of mind, bring yourself back to that state by returning to now.  Again, simply, this means that you take a few moments to pay full attention to the here and now – you could stop and focus your sight, feeling, hearing, senses of smell and taste on what is actually going on, or you could simply take and fully appreciate a few deep breaths.  Our contact with the here and now – and the opportunity it presents us with to live our ordinary day extraordinarily – is through (and only through) our five senses.  You need to come to your senses!</p>
<p>And, if you do this when nothing crazy is happening in your day, you will be fit and ready to be at your best when things actually do go wrong.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently spoke to a client who told me that he was plagued by useless thought – distractions, negative thinking, worries, even fears.   The first thing that I said to him was that, as someone who had worked on his own <a href='http://www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>Personal Development</a>, he could count himself among the horribly small minority who are aware they’re thinking useless thoughts.  After all, psychology proves that the so-called normal mind is dead to the world, running on auto-pilot, totally unaware – unaware of pretty much everything, from the fact that it is actually in a specific and unique time and place (called Now!), to the fact that it is being attacked by useless thought.  So my friend was at least one step ahead of the posse!</p>
<p>However, what are you going to do when you find yourself being mugged by your own mind?  Do you fight back or do you try to run away?  Who can you call for help?  Who you gonna call? There’s no such people as the Thoughtbusters!   Sorry to say you’re on your own – after all,  you’re the only person on this planet having those thoughts.   You can’t run away – there’s no hiding place from your own thoughts and there’s little point in fighting back.  Thoughts are like a big bully – all they’re looking for is your undivided attention – fight back and you’re giving them your energy, just what they’re looking for!</p>
<p>What you’ll have to do is come to your senses and quite literally ignore the thoughts – they’ll never go away but a thought minus your energy is a nothing.   Thought is meaningless until you pay it attention – direct your attention somewhere else and the thought simply isn’t.  Direct your attention to Now – it’s the place where life is actually lived, where opportunity abounds (if you’d stop paying attention to your useless thoughts) ,it’s the place <a href='http://www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>where dreams come true</a>. </p>
<p>Being aware of Now is awareness.  And, if you’re aware of Now, you’re aware of yourself in Now.  Now that’s <a href='http://www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>self-awareness</a>!  Being aware simply means paying attention – paying attention to Now.  To what your eyes are actually seeing, to what your ears are actually hearing, to the smell in your nose, to the taste in your mouth, to what you are feeling.  Feeling what your own body is telling you connects you with Now.  Feeling your feet strike the ground each time you put one foot in front of the other is your direct connection to Now.  Feeling the way your chair supports you is a valuable piece of “now information”.  Noticing the way your legs are crossed, the your clothes touch your skin, the way your legs are positioned as you stand still, make up your own list! </p>
<p>However, here’s how it works.  My friend said to me “I get it, when you’re walking you’re aware that you’re putting one foot in front of the other.”  “Got it in one!” I replied.  “And, when you’re thinking a useless thought, you’re aware that you’re thinking a useless thought!”  “No! – When you’re thinking a useless thought, you’re aware that you’re putting one foot in front of the other as you walk!”   The walking is real, the thought is not.  Each step connects you to Now, the thought is your one-way ticket to unreality.</p>
<p>Paying attention to Now is your passport to success and happiness and the great thing is that life’s big adventure is entirely in your own hands.</p>
