Emotionally Intelligent Leadership (EIL)
​EIL is the ability to consciously focus the three facets of leadership – self, others, context – and facilitate appropriate attitudes and behaviors to achieve desired outcomes. EIL synthesizes two major bodies of research and theory: emotional intelligence and leadership. Emotional intelligence is the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions. Leadership is a relationship between individuals working toward a common goal. The EIL model provides a practical roadmap for students to learn more about themselves, how to work more productively with others, improve relationships, and be more effective in a leadership capacity. 
EIL is the ability to be conscious of three fundamental facets that contribute to the leadership dynamic: context, self, and others. These three facets overlap yet are independent of each other. Each facet consists of specific capacities that can be developed. A person’s ability to monitor all three facets intentionally will enhance their ability to lead effectively. EIL emphasizes that leadership is a learnable skill that is not just for those in official roles in formal organizations. 

This program experience can be implemented for college students through a workshop series, academic curriculum, or a one day workshop. There are endless possibilities, though, and you need not feel constrained by those choices.

Leadership in Action - Student Organization Training Program
Leadership in Action is a leadership development program for college-age student leaders who want to conduct leadership programs for student organizations—who want to help other students become leaders, too. Undergraduates from the University of Illinois, Purdue University, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison participated in a 21-month program during which the Leadership in Action Curriculum Team developed, reviewed, and revised the 14 workshop guides below. This program can be customized to fit your needs and be facilitated by Mindful Leadership Education. Sessions can be presented separately for individual workshop sessions, combine any of them for short-term programs, or use them all for long-term programs. Great also for Student Organization Retreats.
