Joelle Hadley, a master certified trainer in emotional intelligence presents a Ted Talk about spreading this idea of emotional intelligence, along with sharing her personal applications. It is defined as the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. She describes it as a learnable skill, which is rooted in neuroscience and biology. Ms. Hadley familarizes the audience with the part of the brain which emotional intelligence is most associated with, the neocortex. The lecture is wrapped up by reminding us how contagious emotions are, how fast they can change, and the strain it puts on the human body. Quoting The Wizard of Oz in order to leave a lasting impression, she finishes up with “Dorothy, you had the power the whole time, you just had to learn how to use it”.
