EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AUDIOSCRIPT 
Listen to an extract from a lecture by a Professor at a Business School. 
Optional exercise Listen and decide whether these statements are True or False: (Answers below) 
1. Its better to say Im unhappy than this situation is getting on my nerves. 
2. Thoughts and feelings are not the same thing and we express them differently. 
3. If we feel angry because of somebodys behaviour we should say you are making me angry. 
4. We should always think about how other people might feel. 
5. Our own feelings should be more important than the feelings of others. 
6. It is important to think in a positive way. 
7. We should not concern ourselves with making other people feel better. 
8. If people dont take you seriously, try talking to them and try to make them understand your feelings. 
Now lets take a look at some ways in which we can increase the levels of our own emotional intelligence so that 
employers will be fighting over us! [laughter] 
The first step is to label our own feelings rather than labelling situations or other people. We should say things 
like I feel angry instead of this is a ridiculous situation. 
Secondly, it is very important to know the difference between a thought and a feeling. In terms of language we 
express thoughts by saying I feel like or I feel as if but for feelings we say I feel and then a feeling word , an 
adjective 足happy, 
angry, frustrated . 
Next 足and 
this is a crucial point 足we 
should take more responsibility for our feelings. Instead of saying you are 
making me jealous we ought to say I feel jealous. 
After this we need to learn how to use our feelings to help us make decisions. Ask yourselves How will I feel if I 
do this? or How will I feel if I dont? 
Another important issue here is respect. We have to respect the feelings of others. We should ask ourselves 
questions like How will this person feel if I do this? 
And of course it isnt enough to just respect the feelings of others. We have to show others that we care. We do 
this through empathy and understanding. And we should accept peoples feelings. They are as just as valid as 
our own. 
Then we come to energy. We need to turn anger into energy and use it to take action 足productive 
action that it. 
Finally, after getting used to understanding and analysing our emotions, we should practise getting a positive 
value from them. Ask yourselves How do I feel 足and 
what could help me feel better? and dont forget those 
around you how do you feel? and what would help you feel better? 
To sum up I am going to leave you with two pieces of advice. 
Dont criticize, advise, control or lecture others. Just listen with empathy and in a non足judgemental 
way. 
And what about people who invalidate you? Easy 足avoid 
them. And when it isnt possible to avoid them 
altogether, try to spend less time with them and dont let them get to you. 
Follow this advice and I am sure that you will soon increase your EQ level. You will feel happier and more 
positive and hopefully this will rub off on those around you.
