This section of emotional intelligence articles has been written by Robin Hills, one of our team of coaches and trainers who has vast knowledge and experience this field as well as a passion for helping others develop their own understanding.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a behavioural model first developed in the 1970’s by psychologists Howard Gardner, Peter Salovey and John 'Jack' Mayer, it rose to prominence in 1995 by Daniel Goleman’s book Emotional Intelligence. Since then it has become a widely recognised model for understanding how we control our emotions, how we can understand the emotions of others and therefore how we can better manage the relationships we have with others.
In this section Robin will explain exactly what EI is, why you should learn about it and what its relevance is in the context of coaching and personal development. He will also provide tips on developing your own emotional intelligence.
