In our upcoming podcast episode, we dive deep into the groundbreaking book "Emotional Intelligence for School Leaders" by Dr. Janet Patti and Dr. Robin Stern. This profoundly insightful work argues for social-emotional learning (SEL) as a crucial skill set for K–12 school leaders and provides invaluable coaching on integrating emotional intelligence into leadership practices. Join us as we explore the key SEL skills outlined in the book, including mindfulness, self-management, relationship building, and conflict resolution. We'll discuss how each of these skills can be applied in a leadership context and provide practical strategies for implementation. Dr. Janet Patti, a former school leader, is CEO of Star Factor Coaching, a founding member of CASEL, and professor emeritus at the Hunter College School of Education. Dr. Robin Stern is the cofounder and senior advisor to the director at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, a licensed psychoanalyst with 30 years of experience, a podcaster, and the author of The Gaslight Effect. They are cocreators of the STAR Factor Coaching model, which helps educational leaders enhance their emotional intelligence skills.
