Is emotional intelligence (EI) something that can be learned and strengthened or is it an inborn characteristic?

Attempting to answer this false dichotomy would only make me look foolish.

I’ve had the opportunity to witness transformative EI growth in the many teams I’ve worked with over the years; however, there are s ome who must  work harder than others. More often than not, many have an inborn characteristic but don’t have the ability to recognize it.  

In this Learning Tech Talks, I’m hosting Pianpian Xu Guthrie from Amotions, Inc. to dig deeper into EI and go beyond simple definitions to discuss its application for learning leaders as they formulate instructional design to achieve goals and capitalize on efficiencies.
