Harnessing Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence has received considerable attention over recent years, particularly in the fields of industry and management training. There is a growing awareness that success in the workplace, as well as in our personal lives, is as dependent on emotional intelligence as on intellectual abilities. Professionals working with people of all ages, and those whose specific remit is relationship based, understand the significance of the inner emotional life and the importance of effective communication and the management of emotions.

This one-day workshop will look at how the theory of emotional intelligence deepens our understanding of the roots, development and storage of the emotions. We will draw upon new developments in neuroscience to expand our awareness of and how early experiences affect brain development and the impact of trauma on emotional and cognitive development.

Too Safe to Play?
A Practical Guide to Managing Risk in Play Provision
Following on from our popular and successful conference in October 2009 which addressed issues around play and risk, we are responding to the rising demand from providers to support the implementation of a Managing Risk ethos in Play Provision. Three seminars are now being organised aimed at those directly involved in play in different parts of Scotland.

At the October 2009 conference, Ronnie Hill, Director of Children's Services Regulation, Care Commission said “The importance of appropriate risk taking in children«s physical and emotional development is crucial. All activities will have some degree of risk associated with them. We want to encourage good risk management, not risk aversion.” The seminars will directly address these issues.
