I went to an executive training thing earlier this year that shared this same chart, photographed in my 5th grader's classroom, only they did a worse job with the axes, so we are doing a better job teaching elementary school students how to name their emotions than most high performing execs get

Also yes it was incredibly patronizing to do this in that setting; I don't need this personally and if you can't find a way to teach these concepts to adults in a somewhat more nuanced way than you might teach them to kids you're just wasting time. In my experience most adults actually don't need this and the ones that do need a helluva lot more

In case you're wondering senior leadership is feeling bottom left and showing upper right on command

@skamille Entirely too real. Not entirely sure it is healthy.

@skamille the number of senior leaders I work with who are in the upper left but showing toward upper right is alarming, TBH.

@skamille I didn't need a senior leadership class to tell me that, I just already knew 😭😭😭

@skamille lot of people clicking the “I’m in this picture and I don’t like it” button in their heads.

@skamille I kind of want to apply this to my technology stacks. “No, my service isn’t down; it’s just despondent.”

@skamille It’s amazing how much better kindergarten is then when I was in it, emotional intelligence wasn’t a topic back then.

Also amazing how many adults need this training

@skamille I don’t see “rage quit” or “seething” or “wallowing in self-pity” on here, maybe there needs to be a third axis

@skamille

Sorry for the unhelpful executive training, but that chart is pretty interesting to me. I don't think I've seen one like that before.

I do wish the axes had labels or arrows to indicate which way was increasingly energetic and which way was increasingly pleasant.
