Our Philosophy
The philosophy that guides Emotional Intelligence Learning Systems’ (EILS) research, product development, and services reflects a respect for individual differences and the human condition. Our emphasis is on the person’s potential for self-direction and positive emotional development. Our theory of human behavior is positive, integrative, and research derived. Our philosophy provides a holistic view of the person and is based on an assumption that cognitive, affective, and behavioral skills can be learned and developed through transformative learning experiences that are relevant and meaningful from the frame of reference of the learner. We believe that individuals have the potential to develop themselves in meaningful and self-valued directions that lead to higher levels of personal well-being, achievement, and career effectiveness.
Our positive assessment and emotional learning models are research derived extensions of our guiding philosophy and offer practical approaches to quantify and develop emotional intelligence skills. We see emotional intelligence overtly reflected in constructive thinking processes and wise behaviors that improve a person’s quality of life and productivity.
