The Art of Emotional Intelligence

Welcome to my new blog!

I am writing this blog in connection to my work teaching emotional intelligence. This year marks my 4 year anniversary both studying emotional intelligence and developing the Emotional Intelligence Program (E.Q.P.) - An evidence-based creative approach to equip students with social and emotional tools that will assist them inside and outside of the classroom.

My passions for studying emotions began in 2018 when I came across the research of Dr. Peter Salovey and Dr. John D. Mayer titled What is Emotional Intelligence (1997). In that moment I decided to email the two researchers and was fortunate to receive a quick response with additional research papers to study which would ultimately birth the creation of E.Q.P.

In this blog, you will see some tips and tools I provide my students and some of the latest research on emotions and emotional intelligence. It is my hope that this blog can provide solutions in the broader conversation of self-development.

Yours sincerely,

Jalen
