Workplace Coach: Don't underestimate emotional intelligence

Seattle Post Intelligencer, 6/5/07

Couple quotes I liked:
You can't change what you are unaware of in yourself. Being able to observe yourself in the heat of the moment is the first step to making a different choice versus your typical programmed emotional reaction.

This comment is key:
There is valuable information in emotions -- if you can tune into that internal channel. Feelings can clue us in about the importance and meaning of an event, situation or interaction.

Would be nice to see more depth in what appears in popular media. "Emotions matter" is a good start though!
