Empowerment & Emotional Intelligence w/ Dawn Gillom-Carter
We return to the Roundtable with Dawn Gillom-Carter, Associate Professor & Academic Coordinator at Prince George’s County Community College. Professor Carter breaks down the meaning of emotional intelligence and how crucial it is on the path to becoming a change agent. Her work with diverse populations and as an educator gives her the opportunity to invest in her own evolution as a change agent in human services, as well as those of her students.
The tenets of emotional intelligence are foundational to our relationships with ourselves and others: self-awareness, empathy, motivation, self-regulation, and social skills. Professor Carter shares how she uses these principles to guide her students through understanding what emotional intelligence is and how to embrace it in there personal and professional lives. We dissect what it means to “meet people where they are” and the barriers we face in the process of learning our relationship to other individuals.
How do our emotions arise in and impact our work serving others? What techniques can we embrace, both in our personal lives and in the classroom, to help us evolve our emotional intelligence and self-awareness?
Let’s talk about it.
Part 2 premieres March 19th.
