“This may seem like a no-brainer, but the truth is that many of us never learned to listen well,” says Antesa Jensen, a life coach who leads workshops on emotional intelligence.
Jensen says to become a better listener, stay present with each word as it is being spoken to you. Before responding, repeat what you have heard by saying, “This is what I’m hearing you say,” and ask for confirmation that this is what the speaker meant. Then, give your response. This practice will help you hear the subtleties of communication underneath and in between words – which is what highly emotionally intelligent people do instinctively."

“People who are highly emotionally intelligent have a nuanced and precise awareness of the full, emotional spectrum,” Jensen says. “This is only possible when someone is intimate with their own emotional landscape.” She says many people say “I feel,” then go on to describe a thought or concept. To practice being more emotionally intelligent, try to express feelings that are a physical sensation or emotional in nature. For example, you might say, “I feel uneasy, and I’m breathing faster than usual” or “I feel joyful and filled with delight.”
