Read and regulate your own emotions and accurately read others' so that, under pressure, your reactions strengthen relationships and decisions instead of damaging them.
Practical emotional intelligence built the way it actually sticks — through worked moments and your own words, in one continuous flow. You learn the four moves (notice, name, pause, choose), catch your own trigger in the six seconds before it runs you, read the room past the words, and respond rather than react in real scenarios — a Slack message that stings, a teammate who's gone flat, a meeting where the temperature spikes. Part of the Power Skills path, it builds on Influence Without Authority: where that course gave you the moves to move people, this one gives you the self-mastery to keep your head when those moves meet real emotion.
Hook: watch the same trigger play out two ways, then surface where you actually stand.
The models: the four moves, the six-second trigger, and how to read the room past the words.
Apply it: read the message right, regulate the trigger, sequence the check-in, and write the response.
Prove it in your own words: write the regulated responses, pass the judgement gate, and commit to your real trigger.
