Learn What Not to Do to Enhance Your Performance with Universal Events
A recent study of more than one million people found that the upper levels of performance are occupied by those with high emotional intelligence. In fact, 90% of top performers are emotionally intelligent. What sets these people apart is their ability to stay calm, content, and in control. Our team at Universal Events would like to examine some things that these high achievers never do, and that you should avoid at all costs. • They Don’t Allow Others to Limit Their Joy: When emotionally intelligent people accomplish things they feel good about, they don’t let anyone else’s opinions or achievements diminish their own satisfaction. You should never compare yourself to others to validate your actions. • They Don’t Make Perfection a Priority: If you want to emulate the most emotionally intelligent people, you can’t set perfection as your target. Top performers understand that they’ll only be left with a nagging sense of failure if they reach for absolute perfection. • They Don’t Dwell on Problems: High achievers know that fixating on problems only prolongs negative thoughts and stress. When you focus instead on what you can do to improve your circumstances, your performance will improve dramatically. • They Don’t Always Say Yes: Saying no is a major challenge for some people. Emotionally intelligent individuals recognize that saying no allows them to focus completely on existing commitments and avoid getting burned out. You should follow this example and resist agreeing to every project that comes your way. Following these examples set by emotionally intelligent high achievers will lead you to a more contented place.
