Socio Emotional Learning (SEL) has gained a lot of importance recently, especially due to the COVID19 pandemic.
Social and emotional learning means different things to many people however in simple words SEL can be defined as the “skills, attitudes, and behaviours to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges.” If practiced consistently SEL can enhance the quality of our social and personal relations, communication, collaboration, empathy, self regulation, decision making capacity and much more.

We have all heard about Intelligence quotient (IQ) however in recent times numerous studies and research show that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is now a huge predictor of your overall success in personal and professional life.
EI is ability to understand our own emotions, regulate and respond to them in an efficient manner. EI helps us in better decision making capabilities, it makes us more empathetic and compassionate towards others.
