How to Unlock the Power of Emotional Int...

DR. MICHAEL GERVAIS
About this episode

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Marc Brackett, the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and a professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University.

Marc’s research focuses on the role of emotional intelligence in learning, decision making, creativity, relationships, health, and performance. 

Over his extensive career, Marc has developed a systemic, evidence-based approach to social & emotional learning which has been adopted by over 4,000 schools across the United States and in 27 other countries. 

Outside of the school setting, Marc also regularly consults with world-leading corporations on integrating emotional intelligence principles into leadership teams and employee training programs to help boost retention, innovation, and ROI. 

While emotions are a central part of well-being and high performance, it’s clear that many of us struggle with this part of the human experience – and that’s exactly why I wanted to sit down with Marc for this conversation.

We discuss Marc’s approach to unlocking the power of emotional intelligence - in all environments - in order to help our kids, ourselves, and our communities thrive.
