|
Greetings! The dates and location have been set for the 8th Annual Institute for Emotional Intelligence. We hope you will pencil in your calendar and plan to join us at El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel, San Antonio, Texas during the week of February 21, 2011 for the next EI Institute! What an inspiring and informative conference experience. I've been refining my goals, and this conference was exactly what I needed. - Margaret Johnson The 8th annual conference will kick off with a seminar on Monday to discover and explore a new positive assessment of personality and type. Then, for those who desire constructive answers to that age old question about personality and assessment (So what's next?), as well as those who simply want to update their knowledge and skills for applying Nelson and Low's practical models of EI, we hope you will join us for the two-day certification workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 22-23, 2010. The week will conclude with the 8th annual conference convening on Thursday and Friday with excellent concurrent programs and general presentations that focus primarily on the education and transformative theory of EI. Thank you so much for your hard work to make the EI symposium successful. I had a great time and met so many wonderful people. - Vince Amatuzzi Thank you for all your hard work putting on the EI Conference this year! I learned some great information. I am looking forward to next year! - Lauren Denver Warmest personal regards. Darwin Gary Rick Darwin Nelson Gary Low Rick Hammett

For anyone traveling and needing a place to stay for the workshop, El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel is offering a special rate of $99/night (includes hot breakfast). To receive the discounted rate, be sure to let the hotel know that you are participating in the Emotional Intelligence Workshop at San Antonio College when you make reservations. El Tropicano's phone number is 1-210-223-9461.
The positive assessments and emotional
learning system presented during the workshop are research derived and
brain based. How to model and develop emotional intelligence for
students, clients, and others is the focus of the workshop. The assessments and
emotional learning models presented in the workshop are used worldwide
to develop healthy people, organizations, and communities.
We will be using the Personal Excellence Map in our leadership development
program and retreat this April. This is a university wide leadership develop-
ment program to help prepare the next generation of leaders at ISU. The
President wanted this initiative, so it is something of a high priority. By the
way, the results of the PEM will be used to assist mentors/coaches with all
of the participants. - David Worley, Ph.D.
The
workshop leaders, Darwin Nelson, Ph.D. and Gary Low, Ph.D., are
consulting psychologists and provide EI training and executive coaching
services worldwide. Dr. Nelson is a diplomate of the American
Psychotherapy Association and Patron of the Forum for Emotional
Intelligence Learning (FEIL) in India. Dr. Low is Professor Emeritus of
Texas A&M University-Kingsville and also a Patron of the FEIL. Gary
and Darwin are life-long friends and have been researching and
developing their education-based theory of EI since 1977.
Space is limited, but there is still room for your meaningful participation in this workshop. For more information or to register for the June workshop, please contact

Conference Highlights~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  We were humbled and honored this year to have EI research presented by Shafeeka Dockrat from Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), Pretoria, South Africa. Shafeeka is TUT's Director of Student Development and Support, as well as the principal researcher in a study to standardize the Emotional Skills Assessment Process (ESAP) with a very diverse student population in South Africa. Considered a mega institution of higher education, TUT enrolls 60,000 students. Just imagine providing instruction and leadership services in an institution where the student body speaks more than a dozen different languages!
The purpose of Shafeeka's research was to standardize the Emotional Skills Assessment Process (ESAP) for use in South Africa by providing norming statistics for first-year students. She used the full version of the ESAP (213 items) and collected data from 1,990 first-year TUT students. While the ESAP has demonstrated cultural sensitivities around the world, it is amazing how similar the average scores were for the first-year students in South Africa as compared to those of the original norming group from Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK). The few differences in average scores did not appear significant. The TUT sample reported slightly higher levels of Comfort (Social Awareness), Leadership, Time Management, Self-Esteem and Stress Management. The TAMUK sample was slightly higher in measures of Aggression and Change Orientation. Maximum likelihood confirmatory factor analysis using the TUT sample resulted in a four-factor solution similar to that reported by Nelson, Jin, and Wang (2002).
Look for Shafeeka's full article soon to be published in the 2010 Institute for Emotional Intelligence Conference Proceedings and Journal!
Additional conference highlights will be shared in future newsletters!
