Program Overview:
Decades of behavioral decision research has consistently shown that emotions, more than any other contributing factor, are what motivate us to act. Every decision we make, every choice to act or not act is determined by our intention to manage our feelings in one way or another, to either feel better or to avoid feeling badly. Emotion is the single pivot point to determine how well you know yourself, how you deal with adversity and conflict, and how well you relate to others…all characteristics of a great leader. With educators so busy managing more of the social and emotional skills for our young people than ever, there has never been a better time to learn and model “Emotional Intelligence”, or EQ to ease the workload and get back to why educators wanted to teach, and staff works to improve the landscape of a quality education.
Developing higher levels of EQ has been proven to be the single most powerful tool used to influence relationships and get people to trust and believe in an individual and their vision. Martin Luther King, JFK, and Steve Jobs all learned to lead through self-knowledge, self-control, and by connecting with and empowering others. The classroom deserves the same passion–exciting students around a common goal and creating an engaging culture to support one another in the learning process.
