Building Personal Relationships (Your Pathos)
Making time for you to think and grow.
To be adequately prepared for your journey, begin from where you are by asking yourself three important questions and write down your answers:
-
Why am I the way I am?
-
Why do I do what I do?
-
Why do I believe what I believe?
If you find yourself experiencing one or more of the following, then you are in the right place at the right time…
-
You desire to improve your skills in working with others but relationships aren’t working
-
You’ve always wanted to make a difference but wonder if a few people can make an impact
-
You find it difficult to trust anyone
-
You are filled with emotions and feelings, but are unable to express them appropriately or even express them at all
-
You are stressed out, often angry, and overwhelmed
-
You feel that no one really understands you
-
You experience a gnawing ache of loneliness, even when you’re with people
-
You’re waiting and hoping for someone or something to bail you out of your life’s trials
To build a strong future, what are your priorities for 'you'?
Pathos helps you understand that emotions vary from person to person, therefore the importance of understanding specific social situations is important to successfully utilize emotional intelligence. The skill of persuasion through emotional appeal and how you respond to others and situations depicts a key aspect of your pathos.
