Linda,
I was wondering if you could tell me more about the Harvard Business Article. Deb
I really enjoyed today’s topic of Emotional Intelligence. I have been in previous leadership seminars, etc. where the emotional aspects of leadership were given little time/value and were certainly outweighed by other core skills. It was nice to hear Dr. Roussel state how important EI is to being a good leader.
Thank you for the kind feedback! I have followed EI since the ’90s and continue to be “wowed” by the impact, particularly from the brain chemistry perspective!
Thanks for sharing.
Linda
What love to hear from others!!
I am travelling and forgot to bring my journal. I put a free app on my phone “Gratitude Journal” – very cool – puts date and time – has some inspirational quotes on each page – I prefer to write in a real book – but this sure is handy – when have a few minutes can easily jot down something – “TY for opportunity to help someone in need” – just wrote this on my app – way cool!
