Lessons From George Washington's 110 Rules of Chivalry

Spirit of EQ

We explore this unique aspect of our culture, and we discover some powerful lessons that still hold today.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1️⃣ Choose your praise wisely: Praise should be genuine and deserved, not just empty words. Let's be mindful of what we praise and ensure we're nurturing a culture of true accomplishment and encouragement.

2️⃣ Foster positive connections: Whether it's during a meal or any other interaction, putting on a cheerful countenance can create a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere. Let's remember to be fully present with the people around us and make meaningful connections.

3️⃣ Embrace emotional intelligence: In exploring George Washington's rules, we found connections to emotional intelligence. Consequential thinking, being measured in our praise, and encouraging others to grow are all elements of EQ that can enhance our relationships and interactions.
