Episode Synopsis

Join us: Emotional Intelligence Developer What happens when someone’s behaviour makes you question yourself?A difficult colleague, a judgmental friend, a controlling person, a hostile classroom, workplace intimidation, rejection, criticism, or the pressure to fit in can all make you start believing things about yourself that simply aren’t true.This episode explores the difference between what people do to you and what you choose to believe about yourself. You’ll learn why other people’s opinions, moods, rejection, and behaviour shouldn’t automatically become your identity.From school and friendships to work and adult relationships, this is a reminder that you can be affected by people without allowing them to control your confidence.You don't have to absorb every opinion. You don't have to please everyone. And you don't have to let one difficult person or one difficult season convince you that your life is smaller than it really is.Their behaviour is theirs. Your identity is yours.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/emotional-intelligence-developer--6645891/support.Emotional Intelligence Developer Podcast Our episodes explore emotional intelligence, self-awareness, confidence, relationships, mental resilience, work, personal growth and the challenges of everyday life.
