Trending Topic: Emotional Intelligence


Recently, the issue of teaching Emotional Intelligence has become hot trending topic.
Everybody is talking about it, there are the skeptics and then there are the ones who'll swallow everything trending without so much as a question.
I'm neither one nor the other. I just think that emotionally  intelligent people have been around forever and it seems a little bit interesting that some of us are only just waking up to it. But as my people would say, " your morning is when you wake up".
I admire those who are advocating for its inclusion in school and by all means, I think we should.
However, I admire even more my Mum who taught me a lot of what is now being defined as "emotional intelligence".
Back in the days, it had other names...
Back in the days, it was not a school subject but you learnt it anyway.
There were no refresher courses or coaching session, but you practiced it all the same.

Teaching or coaching people about emotional is intelligence will be lots of fun, because, I´ve not only learnt the theory, I´ve found that I am emotinally intelligent.
