Periodic Table of Emotional Intelligence

Ever met a brilliant jerk at work?

That’s a lack of emotional intelligence ⬇️

Most people think emotional intelligence means being nice.
It doesn’t.
It means being aware, intentional and real.

This periodic table breaks EQ into 5 powerful pillars:

→ Self-awareness
Understanding your feelings, reactions, and patterns.

→ Self-regulation
Managing emotions before they manage you.

→ Motivation
Staying focused on goals with purpose and resilience.

→ Empathy
Seeing beyond your own view to understand others.

→ Social Skills
Building trust, influence, and healthy relationships.

Here are a few key elements from the table:

→ Em – Emotional Awareness
Recognising your emotions and their impact.

→ Sr – Self-reflection
Regularly assessing your behaviour and mindset.

→ Sp – Self-control
Keeping disruptive emotions in check.

→ Ad – Adaptability
Adjusting calmly to change and challenge.

→ OpTi – Optimism
Staying persistent despite setbacks.

→ Lb – Leadership
Inspiring others with vision and clarity.

→ Un – Understanding
Sensing emotions and perspectives beyond your own.

→ CnMg – Conflict Management
Navigating tough conversations without damage.

→ Tp – Transparency
Staying honest and open in communication.

→ HpOt – Helping Others
Recognising and responding to needs in the moment.

Emotional intelligence affects everything:

→ Your ability to lead
→ Your influence with others
→ Your team’s trust and culture
→ And your long-term success

You can’t develop high-performing teams, without high emotional awareness.

And the best part?
Unlike IQ, EQ can be learned!
