The first point to consider when having a conversation is to listen and select your words with precision. Information can be easily misinterpreted quickly and cause conflict between the two individuals. Some cultures speak straightforwardly which can be misconceived as arrogance. Then on the other hand you have people who have low emotional intelligence. Always have something negative to say instead of a positive outcome. “Emotionally intelligent people using their insights into language like this for mischievous or even spiteful reasons!” (Murphy, 2022). The article talks about using certain words and it gives off the wrong meanings. Avoiding them at all costs gives a more subtle conversation. Using terms people are unfamiliar with starts the conversation off one-sided no one can relate.
Whether or not being compassionate to others either at the workplace or in our daily lives. Can depend on what the person is focused on at that moment. (Goleman,2007)
Therefore, people who feel compassion or empathy will more likely stop and help someone in need. Compassion can be turned off and on by default depending on the focus of that person/individual. Others that separate themselves from having feelings can go along with their daily lives without any care or thought of someone else. Having compassion can result in others doing the same.

This week we were asked to discuss the importance of emotional intelligence (EI) in communications and the workplace. The article I chose for this week goes into detail about how EI scores impact dentists and dental communication work. The study followed up with the dentists before and after they took an EI test. EI is defined in the article as a mixture of four characteristic traits in: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. The reason this is important is because of how it pertains to the subjectiveness of EI, as in the study followed the dentists from pre-test to post-test and evaluated the dentist’s attitudes regarding their training among the pre-doctoral dental students. There were mostly positive correlations between EI levels and the students value of EI training in dental curriculum. The study also covered how dental hygiene instructors with higher EI scores performed better than instructors with lower EI scores. What I take from this is that emotional intelligence is just as important as any other type of intelligence, and it should be treated as such in any professional workplace. (Partido, Stefanick 2019)
