What are your strengths and weaknesses in emotional intelligence?

Join us for an inclusive discussion around a circle about emotional intelligence.

Cormac will moderate this discussion and provide handouts highlighting important elements of each chapter summarized in how this new system will affect everyone. Alternate viewpoints are encouraged and I welcome your presence.

Key Points:

1. When are emotions appropriate ?

Empathy, Sympathy, Understanding
Self awareness, self reflection
Anger, Supression vs Expression
Forgiveness, compassion

These are just a few out of dozens of our critical emotions that Goleman explores. He demonstrates how they impact negatively or positively which is within our grasp to direct.

Emotional intelligence is now being taught in years 9-11 in secondary schools in Australia.

I look forward to interacting with all view points and welcome their input.
