The GYFT Show with John Burns: What Every Employer Should Know About Emotional Literacy
In 1997, I got started in youth work and started to get into EMOTIONAL LITERACY. Which is…
helping you understand what you feel
understand why you feel like that
Which sounds pretty simple, yet most people never put the two pieces of information together.
Which means most people will act and react to situations because that's the way they've always acted and reacted.
It wasn't until someone interrupted that pattern with an important question that I began to see the lives of young people begin to radically change.
