Emotional intelligence involves an array of skills and abilities that help us understand and manage our own emotions, understand the emotions of others and relate to others effectively.
Research with professional in a variety of occupations -- from teachers to salespeople to corporate CEOs -- shows that certain elements of emotional intelligence can distinguish between "stars" and "average" performers in most occupations. If you want to know more about this research, you'll find a lot of it in The EQ Edge authored by Stein and Book.
The Collaborative for Academic Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) includes research on their website that shows that children perform better in school on achievement tests, engage in less negative behavior and are less likely to be suspended if they participate in a program designed to teach social and emotional intelligence in the classroom. WOW! I think most of us want these results for our children and all children. If you want to learn more about emotional intelligence, go to http://kidsemtoionalintelligence.com
