Emotional Intelligence for Business Students: An Immersive Experience
Dr. Hale walked participants through the key pillars of emotional intelligence - awareness, regulation, motivation, and social skills - emphasising how these qualities are just as vital as technical knowledge in building strong leaders and effective teams.
The webinar offered students a fresh perspective on the science of emotions, highlighting how the brain and body work together to influence the way we think, act, and connect with others. Drawing on leading theories such as Daniel Goleman’s model and Stephen Porges’ polyvagal theory, Dr. Hale explained how understanding emotional patterns helps us respond better to challenges, build healthier relationships, and make more balanced decisions.
Furthering Holistic Education
The interactive nature of the session allowed students to reflect on their own experiences, ask meaningful questions, and connect the concepts to real-world business scenarios. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with participants praising the session for being both insightful and empowering.
This successful webinar is yet another example of East Bridge University’s commitment to going beyond academics - helping students develop the emotional and social skills they need to thrive as future leaders in an increasingly dynamic business environment.
