Cultivating Emotional Intelligence by Michael G Hylen Phd

Cultivating Emotional Intelligence by Michael G Hylen Phd

One of the most influential variables in human development is social relationships. Cultivating Emotional Intelligence: The 5 Habits of the Emotion Coach centers on how educators may build and use positive relationships with their students to help them grow in emotional intelligence. Additionally, this book seeks to answer the question, “What is the end goal of growing emotionally intelligent students? Is it a matter of understanding oneself and other’s emotions? Or is the goal simply to produce “good citizens”? As humans, we desire connection with others. And while most connections remain surface level, this book investigates how teachers can make a deeper connection with students for the purpose of growing emotional intelligence and teaching positive social skills. If educators are going to do so, it will be necessary to reframe traditional school practices that focus on promoting positive behaviors through a discipline system based upon consequences that fail to address the behavior in a redemptive manner.

DrHylen’s book on emotion coaching is exactly what is needed NOW—by teachers, parents, and even employers. The beauty of emotion coaching is the permission it grants for those being coached to work through their own emotional responses and problem-solving. Dr. Hylen’s suggested strategies are time-tested, practical, and empowering to building healthy relationships. It’s a must-read book, especially in a time when we need healing in relationships.

Dr. Hylen’s book on how to become an emotion coach should be on the night table of every parent and every educator. As a parent, I would have loved to have this tool while raising my kids—it is actually the instructional manual no one provides us with. As an educator, it is a powerful tool to use all day, every day with your students. It is a must have for both.
