Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand, use, and manage one´s own emotions in positive ways to
relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict. This competence has a surprisingly powerful effect on our lives, from our capacity to foster long–term relationships with friends to whether we’re able to succeed in school. Managing our emotions as well as understanding others is vital when interacting within both the professional day–to–day with colleagues, students, parents and society. Since 2020 we have been facing a global pandemic which caused a huge intrusion in all relationships. And between teachers and students too. While teaching was already a challenging profession, COVID–19 has pushed aside some of the heartwarming, relational positives of teaching and replaced them with stress and e–learning teaching.
