3A. Self-Regulation (Part I)

EQ ++ is a podcast on incrementally increasing your emotional intelligence. Jamie Kalousdian and Werner Zorman will use their personal style to explain why students should examine their, and others, emotions in order to not only be more effective students but better human beings. Using specific examples from college life, college students, and leading experts at Cornell University they will dissect the what, why and how of emotional intelligence. On their journey, they will explain Daniel Goleman’s four quadrants of emotional intelligence – Self Awareness, Self Regulation, Social Awareness and Relationship Management. Asking questions like, what are effective and ineffective emotions and even the odd question of do I want to have this emotion and why?
