| "We can't make a positive impact on anyone if we don't have our own act together." ~ Ed Dunkelblau, Ph.D, The Institute for Emotionally Intelligent Learning |
Social and Emotional skills are often thought of as “soft
skills" held secondary to technical skills. Both are at the
forefront and are essential for success in life. Learning
these competencies is a personal and sometimes
vulnerable journey.
No wonder this work is challenging! We are asking people
to confront their most precious commodity, themselves.
This includes coming to terms with their strengths and also
being vulnerable to notice where they can improve.
Understanding yourself is critical. The more adults realize
who they are, identify changes they wish to make and take
steps to develop in these areas, the more they can help
themselves, their family, friends, co-workers, students,
customers, and community.
