P6 Effective EmotionsTM Assessment

The Effective EmotionsTM (EE) Assessment is a practical, easy to understand tool for both assessing and developing our Effective EmotionsTM capabilities. It is based on in-depth research about both our emotions and our responses, and is designed to optimize both.

Understanding and Managing Our Emotions is Essential

Highly self-aware and positively motivated performers almost always achieve higher success and satisfaction because our emotions often shape whether our behavior is more positively or negatively experienced by ourselves and others.

The implications are significant, especially given that more positively motivated individuals tend to be more focused on achieving results, goals, growth, and working with others in cooperative ways. By contrast, more negatively motivated individuals tend to be more resistant to other perspectives, options, actions, and relationships.
The specific characteristics in each phase of the EE process provide a way to identify if your opportunity for strengthening performance can be best achieved by better managing our Attitudes or our Actions related to our emotions.

Importantly, our emotional attitudes and actions are often different in the dynamic situations and conditions we experience. Effective EmotionsTM addresses this by analyzing our approaches in two ways:

Analysis 1:
Focuses on our behavior patterns in FAVORABLE conditions when we tend to be characterized by more positive thinking, feelings and emotions.

Analysis 2:
Focuses on our behavior patterns in UNFAVORABLE situations when we tend to be more negative or reactive.

THE 3D PROCESS

A Replicable 3 Phase Process For Effectively Managing Emotions

The Effective EmotionsTM process consists of three inter-related phases to ensure successful and satisfying outcomes for ourselves and others.
Phase 1:
Discovering
Our Emotions
Fine-tuning our awareness and exploration of our physical (physiological) response(s) to emotions.

Phase 2:
Deciding How to
(Re)Direct Our Emotions:
Our initial feeling and ensuing thinking response(s) to help us move from instinctive reactions to more intentional ones.

Phase 3:
Doing (Taking Action)
in a Positive Manner:
Our thinking (cognition) and actions based on our desired level of success and satisfaction.

OUR NATURAL RESPONSES

The Typical (Ineffective) Emotions Process

Our emotions and behavior (especially in unfavorable situations) are often determined by:
  • Habitual attitudes and actions
  • Instinctive attitudes and actions
  • Preferred attitudes and actions
The result, as shown below, is a series of attitudes and actions that are often difficult to self-manage and result in underperformance and frustration.

OUR DEVELOPED RESPONSES

The Effective EmotionsTM Process

By increasing awareness and understanding of our emotions, we increase performance by:
  • Acquired/learned attitudes and actions
  • Growth-focused attitudes and actions
  • Insights-based attitudes and actions
Using the growth-focused Effective EmotionsTM process, as shown below, we can increase success and satisfaction for ourselves and others, even in unfavorable situations. The three inter-related phases achieve more productive and positive results.

The Importance of Effective EmotionsTM

Whether a leader, parent or friend, the EE assessment helps us manage and sustain more positive attitudes and actions with respect to ourselves and our relationships with others. EE provides a model to understand and manage those emotions and to help us more effectively navigate our external environment and conditions.
“Emotions Are Contagious, What Are You Spreading”?
  • The only emotions (attitudes and actions) we control are our own. EE will help you achieve a more successful and satisfying way to navigate your world.
  • We also influence the emotions (attitude and actions) of others positively or negatively. As leaders, this is a critical capability. Do you know what you’re spreading? Contact your Potentia consultant today to find out.
