In this first episode of Mostly Regulated, host Dylan Sulzer, founder of Not Just A Teacher Education, breaks down what emotional intelligence really is, where it came from and why the world needs it more than ever.

You'll hear how five-year-olds define emotional intelligence, to how Aristotle, Darwin and modern neuroscientists all connect on this topic and learn what the data says about why it matters for students, teachers, parents and workplaces today.

We’ll unpack:

• Why emotional intelligence isn’t about being “nice,” but about being aware.

• The backstory behind emotional intelligence and its rise into mainstream literature.

• What Australian and global research tells us about the impact of emotional intelligence.

• Why employers are already calling emotional intelligence a top-ten skill for the next decade.

With warmth, humour and neuroscience you can actually understand, Dylan reveals why emotional intelligence is fundamental to our human infrastructure.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I’d handled that better,” this episode is for you.
