Emotional Intelligence: Developing Skills for Well-being and Success in Uncertain Times

Emotions can either hurt us or help us. They hurt us when they control us. One angry outburst or eye roll can cost a relationship or a career. Chronic stress, which many of us are experiencing at this moment with the COVID 19 pandemic, can paralyze us.

In a recent study, we found that 95% of Americans are feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed and they’re not regulating well. Whether you’re on the delivering end or the receiving end, poorly managed emotions can wreak havoc on our personal and professional lives. On the flip side, when we use emotions wisely, they help us to focus on important tasks, make sound decisions, engage positively with others, enjoy healthy relationships, manage stress, and perform at our best.

The challenge: most people have never received a formal emotion education.

In this highly interactive full day workshop participants will learn how to harness the wisdom of emotions through acquiring a mindset of an “emotion scientist” and developing the skills of emotional intelligence. Takeaways will include: research-based strategies to manage stress—and practical tools to navigate relationships, influence and inspire others, and achieve greater personal well-being and professional success.

Marc Brackett, Ph.D., is founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University.
