Emotional Intelligence workshop summary
The Digital Initiatives & Metadata Education (DIME) unit and others at Minitex recently had the opportunity to take a half-day workshop on Emotional Intelligence (EI). Each year, as a group, we explore ways to better understand ourselves and each other. I learned that Emotional Intelligence is not "being nice all the time" or "being emotional."

We spent some time exploring why emotional intelligence is important in our lives, whether in a work or home context.

Several grassroots efforts aim to fill these gaps for tribal librarians.
