May’s professional development meeting was held May 16, 2019 at the Coffe House Cafe. After networking and getting to know each other, Nandika D’Souza began her presentation. Professor D’Souza’s presentation titled “Unleashing your emotional intelligence, grit for an excellence mindset EIGEM values” gave us an overview with twist on several books on the topic of emotional intelligence. Professor D’Souza discussed how the term “emotional intelligence” has developed through variations of books and papers. Throughout the presentation attendees engaged in a variation of emotional intelligence assessments based on several of these books. As the presentation wrapped up, a room wide conversation developed around each other’s results with the overall goal to improve not only ourselves but each other.
