The man who has transformed the way the world educates children, exploring family patterns, buddy relationships
and how we do business. Together with New York Times bestselling author and International Mindfulness Instructor
Tara Bennett Goleman, he will teach us how Mindfulness is a present-day support to the social intelligence.

About the workshop:
This workshop integrates Daniel Goleman’s explorations of how to bring intelligence to the worlds of emotions, relationships and work, with the approaches in Tara Bennett-Goleman’s best-selling book Emotional Alchemy on healing emotions.
Drawing on this innovative synthesis of ancient and contemporary methods for transforming self-defeating emotional habits, we will explore practical applications of mindful awareness in our daily lives, our relationships, and in the workplace.
When mindfulness, an ancient awareness tool, integrates with new methods in cognitive therapy, to enhance our ability to surface emotional habits and work with them to foster a more genuine connection with ourselves and each other. This transformation, available to us all, releases us from powerful habits of reactivity. We will explore the many ways this investigative awareness combined with principles from cognitive therapy and from emotional and social intelligence fosters a mode of being that can transform emotional confusion into insightful clarity and allow a reparative compassion we can bring to many realms of our lives. Mindful alchemy can be applied to a wide range of professional work - from health care, psychotherapy, leadership, to coaching - or simply to enrich daily life.

About Daniel Goleman
Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends and does business.

The Harvard Business Review called Emotional intelligence (EI) — which discounts IQ as the sole measure of one’s intelligence — “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.” Since its release, Emotional Intelligence has been a runaway success worldwide. It has been translated into 30 languages, with over five million copies in print.

His follow-up bestseller, Working With Emotional Intelligence, examined EI in the workplace, outlining its vast importance in achieving success in any professional setting. Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence (co-written with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee) unveiled new scientific evidence that a leader’s emotional competencies have an enormous impact on group performance and an organization’s bottom line. It was a Wall Street Journal, Business Week and New York Times business bestseller.

In 2008 The Wall Street Journal included Dr. Goleman in its top 10 ranking of influential business thinkers. In 2002 he was named one of the top 10 business intellectuals by the Accenture Institute for Strategic Change. A reporter on the brain and behavioural science for The New York Times for 12 years and twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, he was awarded the American Psychological Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

His bestseller, Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships, explores the groundbreaking neuroscience behind everyday interactions and what it means for success in life.

His latest New York Times bestseller book is Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything (April '09).

Daniel Goleman lectures internationally to business audiences, professional groups and on college campuses. A psychologist who for many years reported on the brain and behavioural sciences for The New York Times, Dr. Goleman previously was a visiting faculty member at Harvard.

Dr. Goleman's 1995 book, "Emotional Intelligence" (Bantam Books) was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year and a half, with more than 5 million copies in print worldwide. It has been a best seller throughout the world and was translated into over 30 languages in more than 50 countries. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea - the kind of idea that does not just advance the conversation, but permanently alters it.”

His 1998 book, "Working With Emotional Intelligence" (Bantam Books), argues that workplace competencies based on emotional intelligence play a far greater role in star performance than do intellect or technical skill, and that both individuals and companies will benefit from cultivating these capabilities. It became an immediate New York Times bestseller.

Dr. Goleman's Nov./Dec. 1998 article in the Harvard Business Review, “What Makes A Leader?” received the highest reader ratings ever, becoming the best-selling reprint in the history of the HBR. His follow-up article in the March/April 2000 issue of the HBR, “Leadership That Gets Results,” became another best-selling reprint.
In March 2002 the release of Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence, unveiled new scientific evidence demonstrating that a leader’s emotional intelligence has an enormous impact on the performance of groups being led and on an organization’s bottom line. Primal Leadership, co-written with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee, was preceded by a related article by the three co-authors in the December 2001 issue of HBR entitled "Primal Leadership: The Hidden Driver of Great Performance."

In Destructive Emotions: How Can We Overcome Them?, Dr. Goleman presented dialogues between the Dalai Lama and experts in Eastern philosophy and Western science on the topics of emotions and the prospects of enabling people to defuse fear, anger, and other destructive emotions before they trigger damaging behaviour. His bestseller, Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships (September 2006), explores the groundbreaking neuroscience behind everyday interactions and what it means for success in life. His latest New York Times bestseller is Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything (April '09).

Dr. Goleman co-founded the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning at the Yale University Child Studies Center (now at the University of Illinois, Chicago), with the mission to help schools introduce emotional literacy courses. One mark of the Collaborative’s impact is that thousands of schools around the world have begun to implement such programs.
