Respond rather than react
Ever had that moment where you think… “Why did I say that?”
We’ve all had those face-palm reactions in the classroom or with colleagues. Emotional intelligence can help us catch ourselves to pause, reflect, and respond with intention instead of reacting on impulse.

1️⃣ Notice your feelings
2️⃣ Pause (even 6 seconds can work wonders!)
3️⃣ Respond in a way you’ll feel proud of later
Check out this visual with 10 practical ways to move from React to Respond.
