East Bridge University recently hosted a much-awaited and thought-provoking webinar titled “Emotional Intelligence for Business Students”, led by the distinguished Dr. Jenny Hale.

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.
I am incredibly thankful to the guidance, support and learning I have received during the B.Ed. program. The comprehensive and informative course content and the valuable feedbacks during assignments has not only helped me to expand my knowledge, skills, and understanding about early childhood education but also made me confident to pursue a career in teaching.
My journey with EBU through the Doctorate in Business Management has been transformative. The program provided a comprehensive understanding of advanced business concepts, strategic management, and leadership techniques. Studying market dynamics in the tire industry in Kuwait has enhanced my ability to analyze competitive landscapes and make informed decisions. This has boosted my confidence in leading teams and navigating complex challenges. As I advance in my career, I’m eager to apply these skills to drive innovation and growth within my organization. I’m grateful for the enriching experience at EBU and look forward to making a positive impact in the industry.
As a graduate of the Master of Arts in Teaching degree program, my experience was transformative. The program gave me a deep understanding of educational theory, effective teaching strategies, and practical classroom management techniques. Through rigorous coursework and hands-on experiences, I developed the skills and knowledge necessary to create engaging and inclusive learning environments. The program also emphasized the importance of ongoing professional development and staying abreast of educational research. Overall, my Master's in Teaching degree has empowered me to make a meaningful impact on students' lives and shape the future of education.
A useful and practical course that did assist with my teaching and learning.
I had a great experience learning and pursuing Doctorate as I chose the subject that I am so much interested in. I enjoyed reading and learning from the course work. My mentor was throughout supporting and encouraging. I can't thank him enough for providing me the clarity for the research paper I submitted and for creating actionable goals for me.
