29
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:40.319
go. The ten factors of emotional
intelligence, and this is an interesting aspect.

30
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.319
There are a little bit of a
spin on the concept of trust building

31
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:51.960
and your ability to adapt to the
world around you to build other people's confidence

32
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.199
in you. Based on some characteristics
that I'm going to talk about, and

33
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:02.439
it refers to your ability to reckon
guys and understand and manage your own emotions

34
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:09.759
as well as somewhat manage and fit
in with other people's emotions without creating any

35
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.840
kind of disruption and their perception of
you around whether or not they can trust

36
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:23.439
you. So it really involves building
a crucial trust in effective communication and how

37
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:30.520
you communicate with others is really critical
here in your personal and professional relationships.

38
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.240
So let's dive into this a little
bit deeper. Here are the top ten

39
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.719
elements of emotional intelligence as a factor
of trust building, So let's just dive

40
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.400
into it and dig into it.
So self awareness is a big part of

41
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:54.319
this in recognizing and understanding your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. So really

42
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.719
you need to get in touch with
who you are and as best as you

43
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:04.680
can and understand how you communicate and
how people perceive you as much as you

44
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:12.639
can and have an understanding of your
own emotions and thoughts and behaviors out there

45
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:17.079
in the world. And also the
other part of this is self regulation as

46
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.839
you communicate into the world and as
you think for yourself about your place in

47
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.319
the world and your contributions to others
around you in the world. You need

48
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.759
to really focus on trying to develop
some level of control of your emotions,

49
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:39.040
your thoughts, and your behaviors as
well. And that gets back to the

50
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:44.040
self awareness part. So if you
understand how you react to different situations,

51
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:50.240
you can create a better experience for
yourself and for your others. Especially in

52
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:58.800
stressful situations where you get into maybe
conflict, or you're nervous, or you're

53
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:04.000
frustrated, or you're emotionally charged.
This is when trust can be lost.

54
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:11.920
So if you lose control or you
lose your ability to stay focused on what's

55
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.199
important, I think that's a critical
piece to this. So what as your

56
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:21.480
motivation to achieve personal and professional goals? I mean, I think that is

57
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:27.279
a big part of this as well, and the ability to persist in the

58
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:33.000
face of setbacks. So if you
can have an idea of what those potential

59
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:42.160
setbacks are, then that'll help you
better manage your ability to motivate others and

60
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.240
to motivate yourself to achieve your personal
and professional goals. So being able to

61
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:55.879
persist I think can stay focused through
challenging times, the challenging world that we

62
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:02.040
live in is so critical to being
able to succeed. And also a huge

63
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:08.680
factor here is empathy for others.
And I think these are all kind of

64
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:14.480
flow into your emotional intelligence and your
intelligence of what's happening around you in the

65
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:19.639
world. Is to have empathy for
others and the ability to understand and relate

66
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:28.199
to the emotions and perceptions and perspectives
of others as best as you can.

67
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.199
I mean, some of us really
struggle with this, and I totally get

68
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.959
it. I mean it's this is
not easy stuff to try and work through

69
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:42.639
this thing, and maybe you don't
inherently have this ability to have empathy for

70
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.560
others. And I do think that
there are folks out there that struggle with

71
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.480
this or maybe even don't even think
about it. Is something that they need

72
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.519
to be concerned about about how they
come across to others, because maybe they're

73
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:00.720
so focused on what they are thinking
and what they are pushing and others that

74
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.800
they don't really see the forest through
the trees on this issue. But having

75
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:12.279
empathy for others is key to I
think our civilization's somewhat survival here. And

76
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.279
I know this is a very serious
topic that I'm taking here but I do

77
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:24.759
think that putting a smile on your
face and getting through emotionally difficult times and

78
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:30.120
having empathy for another person, I
think is so critical. And this gets

79
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.240
into social skills, right, your
ability to communicate effectively, build relationships,

80
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:43.240
and resolve conflicts. So empathy and
resolving conflicts kind of go together, and

81
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.439
those kind of have a lot of
social skills and a lot of discipline behind

82
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.639
them, and gets back to the
social regulation. So a lot of these

83
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:58.319
points that I'm raising are all interlinked
with each other and how you think about

84
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:03.240
your interrelationship ships with other people,
and how you even think in your own

85
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.480
mind. And the other huge element
here is what I call active listening.

86
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:15.279
And active listening is listening intently to
what other people say. And I think

87
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.360
all of us struggle with this because
of the conflicts that are in our world

88
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:26.040
around information. We're getting bombarded with
information coming at us from all angles,

89
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.680
whether it be our smartphones, the
world around us, noise, people trying

90
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.080
to talk to us, people trying
to communicate with us, and that is

91
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.799
a skill, the listening side,
and being able to focus on that listening

92
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.639
is important. It's something that I
need to work on, is something that

93
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:52.720
I think all of us can obviously
do a better job of listening intently and

94
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.720
understanding what others are saying, having
that information be fed into us from what

95
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.799
others are saying to create more of
a conversation, more of an interconnection with

96
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.120
another person. And it actually will
surprise you. It'll create kind of a

97
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:15.720
much deeper comprehension of what another person
is saying and maybe a topic maybe you

98
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:20.600
hadn't thought of that particular twist on
that topic, and it may be something

99
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.679
that opens the door to a greater
understanding about whatever topic that you're talking about

100
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.200
or whatever information that's trying to be
communicated to you. It's also about having

101
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.399
an open mind and that communicates to
other people too, of being able to

102
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.399
receive information from other people. And
I think this is really a skill that

103
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.919
we all need to work on it. I think it will solve a lot

104
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.840
of the problems that we have that
I'm going to talk about a little bit

105
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.080
later in the episode around our information
and where we're getting that information from and

106
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:58.399
is it reliable, And also some
emotional or a resilience as well. Is

107
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:05.840
you're a BILLI to recover from emotional
setbacks and Adapting to change in your environment

108
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:11.600
also is a huge skill, and
maintaining through all that a positive outlook.

109
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.919
It may seem like this is kind
of like emotional or thought gymnastics in your

110
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.240
life. While that may be true, I think a lot of these things,

111
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.480
if you think about it, they
will develop into skills that you can

112
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.200
just act on. It's almost like
being an athlete, right, So you

113
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.399
probably need to think about some of
these things from almost like how let's say

114
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.559
a basketball player or a football player
plays where it has to practice and it

115
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.919
has to think about these processes,
and what you're doing is you're developing new

116
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.879
skills. And I think the next
thing that once you develop these skills,

117
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.759
thinking about these skills from an emotional
intelligence perspective, in any kind of leadership

118
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.480
that you're doing with other people,
it's the ability to observe others and to

119
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:03.559
understand others, to be able to
create an environment where you're inspiring others and

120
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:09.080
you're helping others and you're motivating others. You have the ability to manage conflict

121
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.759
because you can actually listen to where
the conflict is coming from and maybe drill

122
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:20.000
right in on that hot button topic
that is driving that conflict through all that

123
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:26.159
create a positive environment, whether it
be a work environment or a personal home

124
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.480
life environment. I think these are
skills that are things that all of us

125
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.080
need to think about more and work
on, and I think it will create

126
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.120
a much better world for us to
all live in if we can create that

127
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:43.320
type of dynamic in our lives.
And I think that being able to better

128
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:50.600
make decisions too, and the ability
to consider emotions and perspectives of others,

129
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.919
And this really, I think fundamentally
gets back to some of the free speech

130
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.879
issues that we're facing in the world
today. I believe some of this requires

131
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.879
us to have a little bit of
a thicker skin around judgment and trying to

132
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.200
cancel other people in their validity of
their thoughts. I think this is really

133
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:15.559
a topic for the times. I
just think more and more information is weaponized

134
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:22.039
and is used against others, when
that isn't really the best way to think

135
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.679
about information. The best way to
think about information is we can all learn

136
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.080
from it, and we can all
move forward with it. We can help

137
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.720
each other, we can try and
make decisions based on all the inputs and

138
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:41.080
that can affect everyone involved. This
will go so far to helping so many

139
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.559
people kind of resolve their conflicts that
they have in their lives here. So

140
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:52.799
in summary, the emotional intelligence is
a critical piece to building trust and effective

141
00:12:54.240 --> 00:13:01.320
communication with others by recognizing and managing
our own emotion and our own understanding of

142
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.559
the emotions of others. I think
this is such a critical concept, and

143
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.399
being able to communicate effectively once you've
had that understanding of the emotions of others

144
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.840
and being able to filter that.
And I'll get back to what I've just

145
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.159
said just a few minutes ago,
is that this is a skill that may

146
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:24.039
be very difficult to do now because
there's a lot of people that are very

147
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.919
entrenched in their beliefs and their thoughts
and that they're right and nobody else has

148
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.600
any kind of an opinion that is
valid. And that is not the way

149
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.080
for us to conduct ourselves or to
conduct our society, to have a free

150
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:46.080
and open society that will work for
the betterment of many. I think what

151
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.120
we want to build a solid relationships
with people, not people that we want

152
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.759
to go to war with. And
that's kind of the world that we live

153
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.840
in right now, and this will
help us all achieve personal and professional goals.

154
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.519
I know I really beat that one
down a lot, and so I

155
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.559
wanted to kind of transition over to
kind of another topic, which is also

156
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.279
very very timely as well. And
I think these two topic flows of emotional

157
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:18.720
intelligence and also our ability to verify
and trust the information in our world today.

158
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.440
You know, can we trust our
information in our world today is one

159
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.559
of the biggest questions that pops up
in my mind. Trust is the number

160
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.399
one thing in my mind that is
impacting the world right now. And how

161
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.960
can any of us, any of
us trust any information that we have.

162
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.960
I do think that there's clues out
there, and I do think all of

163
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.879
us need to use our intuition and
our ability to look at the world and

164
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.840
use some common sense, use some
values that maybe we learn from our parents,

165
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.279
hopefully, and to be able to
better filter the information that we're getting

166
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:00.840
from the world to help us better
determine what is inform nation that we can

167
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:05.600
trust, regardless of the source,
regardless of who says it. It's also

168
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:11.120
about how it's being said. Is
the information they're verifiable? In the world

169
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.480
today, there is so much abundant
information and it's available online. I think

170
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.960
the biggest challenge, like I said, is Verifying and trusting the information is

171
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.279
very challenging to do today, So
let's talk through some of the tips to

172
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:33.320
help you verify and trust information.
There is a spectrum here of people's perception

173
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.799
of whether or not they can trust
any information. You know. I think

174
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.120
one of the key things is understand
the source. Understand where it's coming from.

175
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.679
Always check the source of the information
you come across. Also look for

176
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:56.360
information from reputable sources. Not always
reputable sources will be the government or government

177
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:02.559
websites, or academic institutions or well
known news outlets. Those are not always

178
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.759
the most reliable. I'm sorry to
say this, but that's just the truth.

179
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.320
Now more than ever, there are
agendas out there, and I think

180
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:15.720
we all need to agree to be
cautious about all information and apply common sense

181
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:21.720
reasoning and critical thought. This is
one of the most important skills that kind

182
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:26.759
of gets back to what I was
talking about earlier about interpersonal communication and trust

183
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.519
too, is be cautious about all
sources of information. But I will say

184
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:38.120
that my own experience here over the
last couple of years is information from more

185
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:45.279
independent sources seem to be maybe a
little bit more passing the sniff test.

186
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:52.879
Of common sense and reasoning and thinking
about how is best for our society to

187
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.480
operate, and think about relationships and
think about our society and our culture.

188
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:03.799
Some of the the mainstream media sources
and the government, they don't always feel

189
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.640
like they're giving us reliable, good, trustworthy information about what's happening in the

190
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.480
world, because you see the world
through your own eyes, and you talk

191
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:17.279
to other people, and you verify
things that you see in the world,

192
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.000
and sometimes those things just don't match
up. And I think we've seen that

193
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.680
happen a lot more over the last
couple of years, and I do think

194
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:32.839
some independent sources are starting to be
seen as more reliable and trustworthy. Independent

195
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.799
sources are feels like are the only
journalistic sources that are available out there.

196
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:45.000
While we will see or hear from
our leaders and our governments that independent sources

197
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:52.359
are the source of misinformation or incorrect
information or information that needs to be eliminated,

198
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.839
that is a red flag to me
that there's something else going on here.

199
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.319
Because our society and our culture,
at least Western society and Western culture,

200
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:06.960
has been built on a fabric of
more open free speech and free speech

201
00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:12.440
type of communication. So as you
think about these issues. Apply your common

202
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:17.759
sense, apply your own experience in
your own life to the information that you

203
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.880
get, and verify this stuff.
Look for evidence to support whatever claim is

204
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:30.079
being made and compare that to your
own experience. Sure check for reliable citations,

205
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.680
check for statistics. I think data
is a very important component of pulling

206
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:40.079
this apartment. Data can also be
manipulated, and so also look for other

207
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:45.160
references to support your claims or support
other people's claims. Are there people out

208
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.480
there that disagree with those claims?
Are there people out there that agree?

209
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.279
Are and who are those people?
And are they considered to be credible sources?

210
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:02.039
I think these are all important aspects
of trust. Oftentimes mainstream sources,

211
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.359
I'm sorry to say, just can't
be trusted anymore because they feel like an

212
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.680
agenda. They feel like they're trying
to push something on us that doesn't feel

213
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.480
right, doesn't feel natural, it
doesn't feel like is common with our society

214
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.680
and our culture, at least my
experience. Anyway. Now, I could

215
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:25.000
be wrong. I'm not saying that
I'm entirely correct on everything that I say,

216
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.359
As most information has an agenda,
I think we just have to just

217
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:36.400
step back and say generally all information
has some element of an agenda behind it,

218
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.680
and mainstream sources due too. What
is their financial affiliations, who are

219
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:47.440
their advertisers, who is supporting that
network? And is they're the potential that

220
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:52.119
those folks are being influenced by money. As more and more we suspect and

221
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:59.720
we're seeing examples and exposure of corruption
in our society and in our culture and

222
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.279
our government in our institutions, I
think those are factors that we have to

223
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:10.240
think about. And also consider the
information author right, Who is the one

224
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:15.599
that's putting this information out? Could
that author have a bias? Could that

225
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:22.279
author be funded by some group or
some corporation or some agency that has a

226
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:27.839
biased agenda that they want to put
out. There is the government somehow behind

227
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.559
this. I think, as we've
seen with some of the information that's come

228
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.200
out about the government entanglement with maybe
social media platforms, that there may be

229
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:42.839
some interest in trying to suppress certain
type of speech, certain type of topics,

230
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.599
influence the promotion of other types of
topics. Those type of things do

231
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:53.000
not build trust. Just be aware
of where the information comes from, do

232
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:59.960
your research, think with a critical
eye. Don't just assume that just become

233
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:06.759
as it comes from a mainstream source
that it's reliable information that you should automatically

234
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:11.759
just trust. Look at opposing views, look at opposing sources to try and

235
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.519
get a more balanced view on a
particular topic. Open the other side of

236
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:23.039
your brain that is more open to
flexibility and looking at things as gray topics,

237
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.000
not black and white topic. And
also the last piece of this too

238
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:33.039
is question the fact checking tools.
And I think some of those fact checking

239
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.759
tools are funded by government corporations with
agendas, So you have to question the

240
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.960
fact checking years. That's the other
part of trusting what you hear, So

241
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:49.200
verify trusted information, just be skeptical, use your critical thinking, and obviously

242
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.880
look for as reliable sources as you
can. That's the main segment of the

243
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:59.559
show today. But I wanted to
get into some comments and some show feedback

244
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.519
from two before we wrapped this episode
up. So a couple of comments that

245
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:10.279
we're in the threads on a variety
of different like YouTube and other other platforms.

246
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:14.359

build this show out as a audio
podcast as well, so please join me.

Can you help others trust you? And

267
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.359
I think at the end of the
day, that's the key point here is

268
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.759
you want to have people trust you, and that's critical to all of our

269
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:10.559
success as a society and as a
world. So thank you for joining me
