NLP and Emotional Intelligence

The model of Emotional Intelligence originally popularised by Daniel Goleman includes these five basic competencies. For each competency we can identify areas of NLP which help to develop these skills:

Competence	Definition	NLP Patterns and Concepts
Self-Awareness	Knowing ourselves and what we are feeling in the moment	Trance Beliefs Meta-Model First Position Rep Systems Rapport with Unconscious Mind
Self-Regulation	Being able to manage our emotions so they help rather than hinder the task at hand	Anchoring Submodalities 'Phobia Cure' Swish Pattern Physiology of Excellence
Motivation	Using our deepest preferences to move us towards our goals	Well-formed Outcomes Chunking Strategies Values
Empathy	Recognising emotions in others	Sensory Acuity Calibration Second position Eye Patterns
Social Skills	Handling emotions in relationships; persuasion; negotiation; teamwork	Pacing and Leading Meta-Programs Sensory Language Milton Model Perceptual Positions Meta-Mirror

NLP takes this a stage further with a growing body of patterns for learning what we need to learn from emotions at the unconscious level, allowing us to make life-changing shifts rapidly and gracefully. This is close to Danah Zohar's concept of "Spiritual Intelligence".

Emotional Learning and Transformation

Learning what we need to learn from emotions, allowing transformation of emotions and self. This is also the realm of 'meaning'.
