Why EI is critical to teaching and leading in schools with Neil McDonald, CEO at QELi.

Educator, mentor, counsellor, motivator, mediator, and even friend. On any given day, school teachers and leaders wear many hats to fulfil the demands of their profession. However, with these different roles comes the toll of highly charged emotional labour.

QELi is one organisation that has recognised the importance of growing emotionally intelligent behaviours in school teachers and leaders. Learn how they worked with Genos on implementing EI into their leadership programs to enhance culture, professional wellbeing, and student outcomes.
