Emotional Competence Framework

The Emotional Competence Framework is a model that highlights the skills needed to recognize, understand, and manage emotions—both our own and those of others. It emphasizes four key areas: emotional awareness (noticing feelings), emotional understanding (recognizing their causes and impacts), emotional regulation (managing emotions in oneself), and emotional facilitation (using emotions to enhance thinking and decision-making). By developing these competencies, individuals can improve their interpersonal interactions, decision-making, and overall well-being. In essence, it’s about becoming more adept at navigating emotional landscapes in personal and professional contexts.
