Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman’s bestseller “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Matters More Than IQ,” completely redefined our understanding of our emotions. He argues that IQ is important, but intellect alone is no guarantee of adeptness in managing one’s own emotions or our relationships. We need a different kind of intelligence to take in and handle emotions in ourselves and others, and to make better personal decisions, resolve conflicts, or motivate ourselves or others. Becoming emotionally intelligent lets us be more skillful and wiser in each new circumstance.
In this engagement, Daniel Goleman invites you to join him in examining how emotional intelligence shapes what we do and offers you tools to understand and harness these influences to positive ends.

We all know technology is transforming the workplace. But Daniel Goleman, the leading authority on Emotional Intelligence, brings good news: Even as AI continues to automate logic-based tasks—such as diagnosing medical cases and managing investments—the human skills that technology cannot replace will become increasingly important. EI differentiates humans from the machine-like abilities of AI and gives you highly valued skills. The World Development Report 2019 described a rising premium for workers who excel at teamwork, relationship management, and adaptability—all emotional intelligence competencies. Similarly, new research on sustainable skills for the digital age found that “human capital will remain the most valuable asset an organization can use to gain competitive advantage.” To further prove Goleman’s point, in 2020, The World Economic Forum identified emotional intelligence (EI) as one of the top workplace skills. And as we begin moving into a new, post-pandemic era of work where empathy matters more now, we would all do well to strengthen this competence, along with their communication and relationship skills. In this engagement, Daniel Goleman invites you to consider emotional intelligence and its growing importance as we navigate a future workplace transformed by technology and new norms created by outside forces like the COVID-19 pandemic. Dive into proven strategies for developing emotional intelligence and how these strategies let you and your organizations evolve and remain relevant in the digital age.

Although the 2020–21 academic year ended on a high note—with rising vaccination rates, outdoor in-person graduations, and access to at least some in-person learning for 98 percent of students—it was, as a whole, perhaps one of the most challenging for educators and students in our nation’s history. From the initial closures in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic to abrupt transitions to online learning and on-and-off modified in-person sessions, it is time to take stock of the impact of the pandemic on student learning and well-being. In this engagement, join the authority on emotional intelligence and social-emotional learning Daniel Goleman and dig deep into how helping children master basics like emotional awareness and self-management, empathy and social skills can support children’s development and mental well-being during this time.
