This episode of EI at Work discusses the tumultuous landscape of the education sector with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) facing dire challenges, particularly in the United States. The impact is profound, with legislation changes, peaceful protests turning volatile, and students becoming increasingly disconnected amidst the Covid19 pandemic and rapid technological growth.
Daymyen Layne, a Genos Certified Practitioner and the Director of DEI for Hotchkiss school in Lakeville, Connecticut, dives into emotional intelligence's transformative power amid these challenges, emphasising empathy, cultural competence, and maintaining human connections.
Plus you’ll learn why Daymyen dedicated his career to "changing minds to make change” and what sparked his curiosity about human connection, empathy and emotional intelligence.
