Emotional Intelligence for Librarians: A Masterclass with Loida Garcia-Febo

Emotional Intelligence: A Masterclass with Loida Garcia-Febo
The Library 2.0 Mental Health and Wellness Series

OVERVIEW

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is how you manage yourself and your relationships with others, according to Daniel Goleman, who popularized the construct in his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ (1995). Essentially, this is the ability to manage both your own emotions and understand the emotions of people around you.

Why EI is important? We live in an ever-changing world; it can be difficult for everyone, and EI can help us better understand what people are feeling and why they feel that way. This can help us to strengthen communications, decision-making, and relationships between library workers, team members, and other people in general. EI is becoming a key resource to help us provide the support needed by team members during challenging / stressful times or during the introduction of changes in the library workflow. In this webinar, Garcia-Febo will deep dive in the themes of Emotional Intelligence. She will also share practical applications and tips throughout the program.

This 60-minute training is presented by Library 2.0 and hosted by Loida Garcia-Febo. A handout copy of the presentation slides will be available to all who participate.
