E035 Managing & Perceiving Emotions with Dr. Kevin Conn
In this episode, we dive deep into emotional intelligence, which Kevin defines as the ability to manage and perceive emotions. Having spent nearly fifteen years working with and researching the topic we explore why Kevin believes it is a key leadership skill and how emotional intelligence can improve team performance and engagement.   KEY TAKEAWAY ‘It’s all about how you treat people.  How are you impacting others with your emotional management? Your reaction to your team, your friends, your colleagues can make their day better, or potentially worse, and it's being able to realise your impact. We are wired to act first and think second, that’s just the way our brain works. Taking a pause, and saying ‘what is my best reaction to this’ makes all the difference.”   ABOUT KEVIN Kevin provides leadership and oversight for Student Housing and Residential Life at California State University Northridge. He received his Doctorate in Education from New York University and has experience working in small and large, private and public institutions. Kevin has and continues to serve on local, regional, and national associations within residence life and LGBTQ+ advocacy. He has nearly fifteen years of experience working with and researching the topic of emotional intelligence and related dynamics within both student and professional staff. Kevin has a strong passion for research turned engagement and has partnered with colleagues on international ACUHO-I grant-funded research projects focused on the evolving role of the Resident Assistant. Furthermore, he just published a book entitled Evolving Landscape of Residential Education, which is a collaboration with several global colleagues in the field.
