I was speaking to another father recently and he was telling me how smart his 5 year old boy was and how he was going to do everything in his power to ensure that his son has the best education possible. To me this sounds like this father is focusing on increasing the intellectual intelligence of his son but at no time during the conversation did this father mention anything about developing his son's emotional intelligence.

During my workshops and training events I often ask participants for a show of hands of who sets goals for themselves, who writes these goals down and who reviews these goals on a regular basis. What I have noticed in particular over the past 12 months is that more and more people do in fact have clearly defined goals that are written down and are reviewed on a regular basis. I have also noticed however, that these same people are not making the type of progress they would like to achieve their goals; they can get distracted and loose focus. They do not seem that committed to putting in the "hard yards" to make their goals a reality.
