Being a Joy, Not Just Having Good Intentions

Truth Check-In:

There’s often a gap between how we intend to show up and how others truly experience us. Maybe you mean to be encouraging but come across as dismissive. Maybe you think you’re being chill, but your silence feels like distance. Emotional intelligence bridges that gap—inviting us to not only be aware of our emotions, but attuned to how our presence lands. It’s not about being liked by everyone; it’s about owning the energy you bring into every space and choosing to be intentional with it.

So let’s pause here and ask:

SPARK Question:

How do I intend to be experienced—and is that the reality others are actually receiving from me?

Ignite Prompt:

Choose three words that describe how you want to be experienced by the people around you (ex: grounded, knowledgeable, present). Then ask one trusted person:

“Do you experience me this way?” Be open. Listen with curiosity, not defense.

Mini Mantra:

“I bring awareness to my impact—not just my intention.”

Use this SPARK when…

You sense a disconnect between how you’re showing up and how you want to be remembered, and you’re ready to realign with presence, not pressure.
