People project their own standards onto others and assume everyone should handle situations the same way. Self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence: monitor your mood, attitude, and the energy you bring. The speaker calls it "vibe responsibly."
Chapters
And there's something called projection bias that I bet you everybody in this room do. And that, all that means is that when somebody does something or says something that you don't think it should have been said that way, it should have been handled that way, the first thing you do is look at them crazy and be like, why you say that? Where they do that at, right? You are projecting out how you think something should be handled. But the reality of it is everybody is programmed differently. So every time you try to tell somebody what they shouldn't be doing, every time you talking mess about somebody— I mean, nobody in this room do that, but you know what I'm talking about— Right. All you're doing is projecting onto others how you think things are. And the faster you get a hold on that— the first domain of emotional intelligence is self-awareness, and you have to be mindful of your own mood, your own attitude, And the energy that you bring to any situation. So we like to encourage people to vibe responsibly. Thank you, DB.
