The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Transform Well-Being and Success (Livestream)
Abstract
Emotions drive every aspect of our lives—our ability to learn, make decisions, build relationships, and maintain our mental and physical health. Yet, most of us have never been taught how to use our emotions wisely. In this dynamic keynote, Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Permission to Feel, will challenge the way we think about emotions and reveal science-backed strategies for harnessing their power. Drawing on decades of research and real-world applications, Dr. Brackett will introduce RULER, an evidence-based framework for developing emotional intelligence in schools, workplaces, and beyond. Participants will walk away with actionable tools to strengthen resilience and create environments where people can thrive.
