Demonstrating Emotional Intelligence During Challenging Times

Demonstrating Emotional Intelligence During Challenging Times

During my little granddaughter's dance recital, I observed an excellent example of emotional intelligence in action. One of the dance instructors showed a high degree of EI skill as she managed her emotions during a tough incident.

For over thirty years we've known the local dance instructor who teaches ballet tap and jazz to children in our small community. My daughter, who teaches at the studio,Nike Free Run 2 Sort Rød Dame løbesko, has three girls who take dance lessons. The owner of the studio holds her annual dance recital at the local high school, and my wife and I help out during the recital. After many years, the recital is very streamlined. People serving as "runners" (my wife is a runner), alert each act when it is time for them to go on stage. Thus as one act finishes,Ny Nike Herre Shox R4 2011 Sko Grå Sort, the next act is backstage ready to go on. I'm up front, selling tickets and then I go backstage to watch the performance and make sure the area is clear of those who are not supposed to be there.


The dance teachers stand behind the curtain, facing the children and dance along with the dancers. They help the little ones remember their steps should they forget during the performance. Each dance teacher takes her turn helping out her groups.

The 3 year olds typically steal the show. Dressed in their colorful tutu's and with their hair pulled into fancy buns or braids they look like little dolls. This year one of the dance teacher's three-year old daughter was performing for the first time. As the little girl stood in the wings, she spotted her mom and started crying. Nothing was going to get her to go on stage. Picking up her daughter,HOGAN DONNA ABBRONZATURA REBEL SNEAKER, the dance teacher comforted her as the group on stage finished their ballet number. The little girl just cried louder and clung on tighter as other mothers tried to take her and comfort her so that the teacher could work.

The way the teacher responded to this stressful situation was heart warming. The dance teacher never got upset even though she was holding a crying, clinging three year old and had several more acts she had to get on and off stage and ance?with. She patiently, calmly and lovingly managed her daughter and the other dancers. The program ended with a happy, smiling three year old and mom.

On our way back home,Frauen MBT Kisumu 2 Sandale - 013, my wife and I discussed what could have occurred if the teacher had not managed her emotions so well. If she had been impatient,Nike SB Dunk High Heel Purple Black, irritated,Nike Air Max 90 Sort Lilla Vin Sko, angry,Nike Dunk High Heel Purple Black Do The Dew, or had exhibited a number of other negative emotions her behavior and her relationship with her daughter could have become difficult. A negative experience such as this might have caused the little girl to refuse to dance in future recitals or avoid other stage performances.

Whether we strengthen or jeopardize a relationship with our family members or coworkers can often get down to a simple matter of choosing our emotions -- those we wish to express and experience. That choice can have both an immediate impact and long-term impact. The example of the dance teacher shows us how a wise choice can result in a positive experience for all.
