Greetings!
Like you we are busy on several exciting fronts! One of them is the planning for a wonderful 8th Institute for Emotional Intelligence (February 21-25, 2011). Each year ideas emerge which develop into exciting collaborations and new programs. We look forward to your participation in one or all events during the week of February 21, 2011! We encourage you to register early and make your hotel reservations. We will be staying at El Tropicano from Sunday February 20, through Saturday February 26, 2011. There will be formal and informal opportunities to network with colleagues who embrace emotional intelligence (EI) for teaching and learning excellence, mentoring, coaching, and research. Let us know of specific interests you have, and we will work hard to make the entire institute and conference comfortable, enjoyable, and highly productive. Please note that the conference rate provided for guest rooms by El Tropicano Riverwalk
is below the new State rates for San Antonio. Rick Hammett Darwin Nelson Gary LowFour programs highlight the schedule. Participate in all four or choose the
program(s) most important to your personal/professional goals and interests.
February 21, 2011, 9am - 4pm: Life Style Type Indicator (LSTI) Seminar/Workshop with Darwin Nelson, Ph.D. LSTI is a positive and innovative approach to successful personality development and personal change. LSTI can be used effectively in a variety of ways for wellness, healthy personal change, and pathways to emotional intelligence. The LSTI workshop was highlighted in last month's newsletter. Please see the July Newsletter for much more information on this LSTI event!  February 22-23, 2011, 9am - 4pm: EI CERTIFICATION WORKSHOP. An EI Certification Workshop for professionals interested in a more in-depth experience with our positive assessments and related learning material. A goal of the certification is for each person to understand the background, research, strengths and limitations of the assessments, as well learning best practice applications in higher education, K-12 education, business/organizational settings, and health/wellness/counseling. The certification workshop is conducted through four modules and features participant experiences using our positive and research-derived life skills assessments. Certification participants may concentrate on the assessments that most interest them based on their application goals and interests. Positive assessments covered include: - Emotional Skills Assessment Process (ESAP) for education and educational programs in business.
- Personal Excellence Map (PEM) and PEM 360 for self and leadership development programs.
- Skills for Career and Life Effectiveness (SCALE) for mentoring, coaching, and organizational needs assessment.
The overall goal of the certification workshop is for professionals to have the knowledge and comfort to immediately begin using EILS learning material and integrated positive assessments. 
February 24-25, 2011, 8:30am - 4:30pm: EI Conference with Higher Education,
Business, Wellness/Counseling, and K-12 Education. Excellent presenters and programs
emphasize the research and 'best practice' examples of EI assessments and
interventions for teaching, mentoring, and coaching.  February 26, 2011, 9:00am - 4:00pm:
Relationship Skills Map (RSM). A day with Dr. Nelson for wellness counselors, mental health, and other
professionals interested in applying the positive self-assessment
process designed to assist professionals in developing relational skills and outcomes with clients.

Research Highlight: Connecting Resilience and ESAP Skills
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Did you know that practicing ESAP skills may be a very good way to enhance the personality trait of resilience? Dr. Caryn Trapp recently completed her dissertation research and uncovered the important link between the education model of EI and resilience! In her study, Dr. Trapp evaluated the relationship between the ESAP (EI) skills and ESAP problematic areas, the personality trait of resilience, and the academic performance of preservice teachers across three different levels of preparation ( N=118). Among other significant findings, Dr. Trapp reported statistically significant positive correlations between the five resilience scales (self-reliance, meaning, equanimity, perseverance, and existential aloneness) and all ten ESAP skills (assertion, comfort, empathy, decision making, positive influence, drive strength, time management, commitment ethic, self-esteem, and stress management). She also found and reported negative correlations between the five resilience scales and all three ESAP potential problem areas (aggression, deference, and change orientation). Based on these findings, it seems that developing a personal focus to practice and develop ESAP skills would be a very good way, indeed, to enhance personal resilience! During the 2010 EI conference Caryn kindly displayed her research poster and shared her research with anyone interested in listening. This year we look forward to her sharing her findings, as well as implications, during a more formal presentation. Congratulations Dr. Trapp, for completing your excellent dissertation research!  |
