Express yourself
Group work: Look at the situations. What would you do in each situation? What would a person with a high EQ do?
You always get As in exams, but you have just found out that your teacher made a mistake and gave you a C for your last test.
You and your parents are having an argument about you staying out late on Friday night.
You are a group leader. Your group is doing a project to find a solution to a problem. There are disagreements among group members.
You are on an aircraft that begins to rock from side to side. The person sitting next to you starts to cry.
Express yourself
E.g. I will try to kindly remind my teacher of the mistake. For instance, I will go to my teacher and politely ask if he or she could check my test paper. At the same time, I will express my doubts and thanks as well.
E.g. Firstly, I will explain my reasons why I want to stay out late and try to persuade my parents. Then I will listen to their worries and offer my solutions.
E.g. As the group leader, I will guide my group members to communicate with each other peacefully. I will guide them to express their opinions and gradually sort out the disagreements.
E.g. Firstly, I will try my best to calm down instead of panicking. Then I will comfort the person sitting next to me by telling him or her the staff can ensure our safety and we should trust them.
Wish you a success!
