Success at work and fulfillment in life may be enhanced when we naturally tap into our emotional intelligencethe ability to monitor one’s own feelings and those of others and to allow this knowledge to guide our speech and actions. Self-awareness, the ability to recognize and work with difficult emotions, and the cultivation of empathy for others are all skills critical for high performance in life’s various arenas. The good news is that we have the capacity to train the mind to engage in ways that are more patient, alert, and productive. 

This session will present a brief introduction to mindfulness, demonstrate how awareness supports the development of emotional intelligence, and involve participants in mindfulness meditation exercises that support the cultivation of these important skills. Audience: All Benefits-Eligible Faculty and  Staff;  Prerequisite: Introduction to Mindfulness, Ten Percent Happier, or a current mindfulness practice.
