How does emotional intelligence feel? An exercise to cultivate self-awareness, self-regulation, perspective-taking and empathy
Adjacent
Step-by-step instructions for a contemplative exercise, inspired by mindfulness and Nonviolent Communication, that lets business students experience self-awareness, self-regulation and empathy rather than only learn about them.
Emotional intelligence is often taught through its concepts. This chapter uses a contemplative exercise to give students a subjective, embodied experience of it instead, and sets out the instructions step by step, so the exercise can be run as written.
What it doesn’t show
A teaching exercise with students’ reflections, not a test of its effects.
Summary based on the abstract and the chapter’s opening paragraph.
