Most of us are rushing from one task to another at work. Let’s admit it, we live in a fast-paced world and you want to look professional and in control at all times on the job. We have to self-manage our professional image because people are judging us by the behaviors they observe. The next time you are in a rush to a meeting with co-workers, clients or supervisors give yourself 10 seconds to stop and breathe deeply before you enter the room.
Honoring this short gap in time will allow you to refocus, calm down and think with more clarity. You will enter the meeting with professional composure and be viewed as more in control of yourself. If you enter with a rushed demeanor, their thoughts may focus on your being disorganized, not prepared or not managing your time well. This tip incorporates the emotional intelligence element self-management. Be the in control professional and give yourself 10 seconds to regroup before you go into the meeting at the last minute or you are late. #Rising EQ, #emotional intelligence
