In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, we unpack a powerful emotional intelligence tool: visualizing your emotional reactions on a scale from 1 to 10. The idea? If your emotional response to something is above a 5, it’s likely not just about the thing you're reacting to. We explore how this simple framework can help you pause, reflect, and uncover deeper emotions or unresolved experiences that may be influencing your reactions. Join us as we discuss how to apply this tool in real workplace scenarios, build greater self-awareness, and respond more thoughtfully in moments of stress or conflict. Whether you're navigating tough conversations or just trying to better understand your own emotional patterns, this episode offers practical insights for building emotional intelligence and resilience.
