The Digital Initiatives & Metadata Education (DIME) unit and others at Minitex recently had the opportunity to take a half-day workshop on Emotional Intelligence (EI). Each year, as a group, we explore ways to better understand ourselves and each other. I learned that Emotional Intelligence is not "being nice all the time" or "being emotional." Rather it's "being honest, aware, and smart." It's your ability to identify, manage, and express your emotions effectively and to handle interpersonal situations empathetically and wisely. We spent some time exploring why emotional intelligence is important in our lives, whether in a work or home context.
