I use the word "geek" with love and respect :-) This presentation covers an introduction to Emotional Intelligence specifically for my technical, logical, left-brain brothers and sisters. Presented at WeWork in SF in January 2015.
2. EQ and Get Rich!!
➡ 58% of performance in all types of jobs
➡ 90% of high performers have high EQ
➡ $29,000 more a year with high EQ
➡ etc etc blah blah blah
3. IQ is an entry requirement only
➡ short form: this stuff matters
“IQ by itself is not a very good predictor of job
performance. Hunter and Hunter estimated that at best IQ
accounts for about 25 percent of the variance. Sternberg
has pointed out that studies vary and that 10 percent may
be a more realistic estimate. In some studies, IQ accounts
for as little as 4 percent of the variance”

8. two mental systems: people and technology
➡ fast

➡ unpredictable
➡ relationship based

9. business = people working together
(19 x 3) + 6

13. Emotional Intelligence. Ta-dahh!
"the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and
emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this
information to guide one's thinking and actions”

16. directed attention - the not so secret weapon
➡ you have ~173 Bn bits of attention per lifetime *
* Csikszentmihalyi 2003 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0cMiX4sMvI
➡ directed, trained attention builds EQ
19. body strongly indicates emotion
➡ emotion: “a basic physiological state characterized by
identifiable autonomic or bodily changes” *
* Delizonna 2011 (via Meng)
➡ identify your mood and emotions before/as you enter a
meeting, a conversation, a discussion (or start coding!)
