Educational Transformation

Students and educators are suffering, and our learning systems are struggling to meet their needs. Too often students’ social emotional needs are ignored with consequences to their wellbeing and academic achievement. The Covid-19 pandemic served to highlight the shortcomings and inequalities of the current systems. When we prioritize students’ social and emotional needs, we can revitalize classrooms and school communities to improve learning outcomes, and equip teachers and students, administrators and parents, professors and deans, with emotional intelligence skills to thrive.

Tools to Measure Change

Social-emotional learning is vital for students because it teaches them crucial life skills, including the ability to understand themselves, develop a positive self-image, take responsibility for their actions, and forge relationships with the people around them.

Youth Wellbeing & Leadership

The power of youth voices can spark movements and influence entire generations. Contrary to the popular belief that young people are not ready to change the world, many young people are just waiting for opportunities that match their passion and expertise. At the same time, young people are bearing the brunt of a global rise in anxiety & distress; for example in the US in 2022, shows that 44% of teens feel “persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness” – which is almost double the percentage from 2009. Investing in youth wellbeing and leadership may be the single most important investment we can make as a society. When we help youth develop critical emotional intelligence skills and tools, it helps them prevent burnout, clarify what really matters, and sustain their vision.

Tools to Measure Change

“Today’s generation of young people, the largest the world has ever known, is growing up in an unpredictable world…. Are we doing everything within our power to ensure that young people are fulfilling their potential as agents of change in our common future? The answer is no…. Only by tapping into the biggest asset we have – our youth – can we create a much better world for everyone.”
– Jayathma Wickramanayake, U.N. Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth

Organizational Effectiveness & Leadership

Employee engagement remains stubbornly low. Trust is limited. Change is chaotic. What’s the catalyst for transformation? The World Economic Forum identifies Emotional Intelligence as one of the most important skills of the 21st century. Perhaps because so many of the issues that derail organizations are emotional. In dozens of case studies from Amadori to FedEx to Siemens, the learnable, measurable skills of emotional intelligence fuel leaders to create more effective teams and greater organizational performance. Outcomes of increased emotional intelligence include bottom line improvements, higher loyalty, better customer relationships, retention, efficiency and sustainability.

“It’s not IQ that leads to success… EQ is more important: emotional intelligence, social skills, how you relate, can you get things done. That’s what makes a difference, especially in management.”
– Jamie Dimon, President and CEO, JPMorgan Chase

Social Impact and Equity

We face a crisis of inequality and an inadequate social safety net in many parts of the world. To compound the situation, the people and organizations who work every day to provide social services face an increased risk of emotional exhaustion and burnout as they work in extraordinarily challenging circumstances. How can we create healthier, more equitable and more sustainable communities? We should invest in the emotional intelligence skills that people need to thrive, including both providers and community members.

“Our future progress will depend on how we prepare our next generation of leaders. We must fortify their ladders of opportunity by correcting social injustice, breaking the cycle of poverty in struggling communities, and reinvesting in our schools. Education can unlock a child’s potential and remains our strongest weapon against injustice and inequality.”
– Barack Obama
