Consider what you read about resilience and emotional intelligence in the Learning Advantage. 1. When did you have to ‘bounce back’ from adversity or failure? How did you respond effectively? What do you wish that you had done better? What skills did this build? (2pt) 200 words Around January of 2016, I received a call from a government job in which they wanted to interview me for a position with their agency. After answering the call I was elated that they would even consider me for the interview, being that there are tons of applicants that the agency reviews daily. I knew that it would be important to prepare for this interview so I decided to take notes on what I plan to say for the interview. After the interview was over, I thought I did well enough to receive a job offer. Long story short I did not receive the job as they decided to move on with someone else. While I failed at receiving the job offer, I was able to receive another interview from a different government agency …show more content…
What dimensions of emotional intelligence do you think you are proficient at? What dimensions do you need improvement on? Why do you think this? (2pt) 200 words Out of all four dimensions, I believe that I am good self-awareness, self-management, and social awareness. With self-awareness, I am in tune with understanding my strengths and weaknesses as a leader. This occurs often during group works where I feel it gives me an accurate self-assessment. Self-management relates to me as well for I am able to be flexible in a changing environment while looking at the positive side of things. An example of this would definitely be working a retail where you have to have high self-management. As a team member, you have to be trustworthy and flexible, as people call out regularly. With social awareness, I do a lot of understanding in situations and with people as I feel it is a great way to build sociability. I also experience this in the workplace, school, and with friends and

The book Tortured for Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand, details the horrific acts of violence and torture that he and his fellow Romanian Christians endured under the communist regime in their country. After these experiences, Wurmbrand founded the Voice of the Martyrs, which is an organization dedicated to telling the story of persecuted Christians all over the world. This book was written over the course of three days after Wurmbrand was released by the Communists. The book is seven chapters long, and each chapter details the different parts of his life while under the communist rule and his experiences in the West.
Everybody wants to be perfect. People want to have control of their lives, yet life does not work that way. In the short story, “Pancakes,” Joan Bauer wrote about, Jill, the main character, controlling her work at a pancake house. One Sunday when Jill was working, a group of tourists arrived at the pancake house. Jill was the only waitress working so she had to balance her “perfect” work as customers come in. Jill tries to do her “perfect” way, but with customers in and out of the restaurant, the stress she has makes her fail at being perfect. The author’s overall argument in "Pancakes" is that it is impossible to be perfect through the use of foreshadowing, simile, and the first-person-point-of-view.

These competencies include personal competence and social competence. Personal
Emotional Competence. Victims of bullying run high risks of developing depression, and chronic depression if the bullying goes on for prolonged periods (Wonke & Lereya, 2015). Depression in this case results from prolonged feelings of insufficiency (Yen, 2010). Anxiety is also common among victims of school bullying (Wonke & Lereya, 2015). Some of the health risks associated with anxiety include viral infections, ulcers, and migraines (Wonke & Lereya, 2015). Wonke and Lereya (2015) report that most victims report increased bodily pain, poor general health, and slower illness recovery. This anxiety, if left unchecked, overwhelms the individual’s ability to reason, increasing their vulnerability to suicidal feelings (Wonke & Lereya, 2015). Wonke
With the publication of Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence in 1995, the business world got an answer to a question that had been plaguing it for decades: “Why did some people of a high IQ struggle at managing teams while other leaders of lower IQ excel at it”? Goleman asserted that the traditional measurement of IQ (intelligence quotient) was not enough to determine a good leader. Schools and universities concentrated on developing the cognitive and analytical part of the brain, while the teaching of how the emotional side of the brain worked was ignored. Goleman defined this “emotional intelligence” of a human being as a set of competencies that distinguish how one manages
Resilience relates to one’s ability to overcome adversity, and successfully accomplish positive outcomes regardless of life episodes or circumstances. The perception of resilience heavily impacts and influences humanity as a result of early life experiences, social economic statuses and quality of life. The experience of being exposed to prior difficulties can promote benefits in the long term, as a result of constructing and building a greater tendency for resilience when dealing with future stressful situations.
In the most basis sense, a contingent liability is an obligation that has a probability of occurring in the future. These items will not be included in financial statements, but should be disclosed within the notes. The company will also be required to measure the nature of the contingent liability in subsequent accounting periods (Ernst & Young 2014). An example of IFRS Contingent Liability would be a company that was involved in an accidental environmental spill in the ocean. The potential fines imposed by a governed

After completing the Emotional Intelligence Survey I was able to find my areas of strength as well as areas where I can improve upon. Although I was strong in certain aspects of the survey, I feel as though constant improvement, even on one’s strengths, is necessary in order to be successful. More specifically the areas I was strong in were categories that included self-awareness, self-motivation, social awareness, and social skills. I can agree with this because I value self-recognition tremendously, I do often engage in motivating myself to pursue opportunities and perform tasks, and I very much so enjoy interacting with others.
Emotional intelligence refers to capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationship. (Goleman, 1995)
Picture a world where humans could not understand each other’s feelings. It looks pretty bleak, right? Luckily, humans do have the ability to comprehend others’ facial and body expressions, emotions, and language. Since this is such a beneficial and amazing power that we hold, it has been labeled as a sort of intelligence- emotional intelligence. The ability to control and express our emotions, as well as understand, recognize, and response to others’ emotions is essential. Emotional intelligence acts as a primary key to survival for humans.
