Title: What’s Your EQ? Working on Emotional Intelligence In and Out of the Classroom
Presenter: Patricia Szasz, Director, Intensive English Programs, Monterey Institute of International Studies
Description: In the education sector, we often focus on an individual’s academic intelligence. However, many psychologists believe it is one’s emotional intelligence that will lead to more effective job performance. This webinar will introduce Daniel Goleman’s model for Emotional Intelligence and allow participants to self-assess their personal strengths and areas for improvements. Activities will allow you to see how your emotional intelligence – both the interpersonal and intrapersonal aspects – impacts your success in your classroom, your office, and even in your personal life.
