Emotional Intelligence with Niomi Clyde Roberts

In this episode, Toria talks about the importance of emotional intelligence in education with Niomi Clyde Roberts, who has recently published a book on the subject.  They discuss  some of the scientific research and real-life examples that Niomi uses in her book to demonstrate how empathy and clear communication can make every teacher and leader feel motivated, fulfilled and respected. From knowing when to say no and responding to negativity, to working effectively as a team and letting every member know they're valued, Niomi believes emotional intelligence in education is the key to enhanced productivity and superb teaching, benefiting both staff and students.
