About the Nonprofit, Un/Do Mindset
Un/Do Mindset builds essential emotional intelligence and mental health skills through:?
They're working to build a more resilient and compassionate society.
And I don't know about you, but I think we need more of that in the workplace too.
That’s why I invited the founder and executive director of Un/Do Mindset, Erin Harris , to join me on episode 114 of the podcast.
“26% of US kids actually experience trauma before the age of four. [...] I truly believe that trauma is part of the human experience. I don't know if there's a single human that gets to leave this planet without enduring trauma. So we very firmly believe in equipping our kids with skills and tools so that they understand this trauma and they know how to process this trauma.”
- Erin Harris, Episode 114 of Learning for Good
Building Emotional Intelligence
One way Erin shares they build emotional intelligence is through helping people identify the physical reactions their body has prior to an emotional response.
If you're able to identify what is happening in your body, you can implement coping skills for a more emotionally intelligent response.
