Self regulation is knowing how to control your emotions, knowing when not to blame others and instead take accountability for your own actions. Self regulation allows you not to make decisions in a rush.
Self Motivation simply means that you have standards and you are a goal setter that seeks out to achieve your goals. You take value in giving quality work.

“ Emotional intelligence is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves and for managing emotions effectively in ourselves and others .” Daniel Goleman.
I would expand on this and emphasize that emotional intelligence is the synthesis between our heart and mind - gaining clarity and discernment of what happens in the heart and body with our minds.
There are five clusters that represents Emotional Intelligence competencies :
S elf-Awareness Cluster
Emotional Self-awareness -recognizing one’s emotions and their effects
Accurate self-assessment – knowing one’s own strengths and limitations
Self-confidence – strong sense of self-worth and capability
In this cluster self-awareness goes beyond understanding your own feeling but assessing oneself with greater accuracy, a deeper comprehension of how yoru own emotions affect others.
Self-Regulations Cluster
Self-Control – Keeping disruptive emotions and impulses in check
Trustworthiness – maintaining standards of honesty and integrity
Conscientiousness – taking responsibility for personal performance
Adaptability – flexibility in handling change
Innovation – comfortable with new ideas, approaches, and information
Our ability to manage and regulate our emotions goes beyond self-control, but taking responsbility, for your own behavior and mistakes, and being felxible enough to try different perspective and approach.
Self-Motivation Cluster
Achievement orientation – striving to improve and excel
Commitment - aligning personal goals with organizational goals
Initiative – readiness to act on opportunities
Optimism – persistence in pursuing goals despite obstacles and setbacks
Self-motivation is a combination of goal oriented thinking, the commitment to make it happen (grit), resilience in bouncing back from adversity, and overal optimism.
Empathy Cluster
Understanding Others – Sensing, being interested in others’ feelings, and perspectives
Developing Others – sensing needs and bolstering the ability of others
Service Orientation – anticipating, recognizing, meeting others’ needs
Leveraging Diversity – cultivating opportunities with different kinds of people
Political Awareness – reading a group’s emotional currents, power relationship
Basic empathy quickly transcends here to reading others and adjusting your own behavior accordingly. an example would be reading the room in a meeting, and understanding very quickly the power plays, and overall mood and energy of the room.
Social Skills Cluster
Influence – wielding effective tactics for persuasion
Communication – listening openly, sending convincing messages
Conflict Management – negotiating, resolving disagreements
Leadership – inspiring, guiding individuals and groups
Change Catalyst – initiating and managing change
Building bonds – nurturing instrumental relationships
Collaboration and Cooperation – working with others towards shared goals
Team Capabilities – creating group synergy towards collective goals
As social animals, social intelligennce is one of the most valued capability in succeeding socially. Coaches need to model this behavior contiuously in their interaction with clients and everyone around them. we are change agents and this is the area we must excel in and understand all its subtleties. This ofcourse needs to coincide with all other clusters of emotional intellligence.
