The session was an engaging exploration of emotional intelligence and its impact on success. It began with a warm welcome and a fun icebreaker where participants identified qualities based on the letters of their names. Dr. Mathur led a discussion on different perspectives of success, tying it into the importance of emotional intelligence. A case study involving “Ravi” was introduced, allowing participants to analyse emotional responses and distinguish between reactive and responsive behaviours.
The session highlighted the four key areas of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Participants also engaged in a self-awareness exercise, identifying personal strengths and areas for improvement. Dr. Mathur introduced tools like the Emotion Wheel and Mood Meter to help participants manage their emotions and emphasized the benefits of labelling emotions. The concept of “Amygdala Hijack” was briefly explained, followed by a Q&A session to wrap up the discussion. The session was interactive, practical, and insightful, offering participants tools and strategies to enhance their emotional intelligence and improve their personal and professional success.
