Our Hearts and Minds Together: A Practical Handbook in Emotional Intelligence

CCLFI is happy to announce its latest book project, the "Our Hearts and Minds Together: A Practical Handbook in Emotional Intelligence." The book is published by Balboa Press; you can purchase it from Balboa Press or from Amazon.com.

BENEFITS
Using the handbook, readers can hone their emotional intelligence (EI) skills using several practices that can:

  • Help in overcoming the emotional distress caused by the pandemic,
  • Provide more ways for professional life coaches to help people in distress,
  • Give a decisive edge for leaders who wish to excel in leadership skills,
  • Sharpen competencies in managing personal and professional relationships, or
  • Offer new avenues for spiritual growth.
     

BACKGROUND
It builds upon the twelve competencies in emotional intelligence (EI) identified for leaders by 15 experts led by EI expert Daniel Goleman, and learning organization guru Peter Senge. It is written by Serafin Talisayon based on his years of practice of spiritual discernment since 1987 and conscious living since 1999. Assisting him are more than a dozen friends who co-created the handbook by giving comments and advice for improvement, writing new paragraphs or pages, editing, starting to popularize it via social media, donating personal photographs, drawing infographics, providing more references and links, and so forth.
