Human Up

When I reflect upon my upbringing in my early education, I realize how much I’ve been lacking in the skills to manage my own emotions and to communicate that with the other kids around me. I wasn’t taught how to be social and emotional and while I learned a lot on my own, I also became skilled at keeping to myself. Sure, that gave me independence and resourcefulness, but it also left me alone and that much less assertive in how I interact with people. In my journey through increasing my own emotional intelligence today, I’ve been curious as to why this education hasn’t been taught in schools until now. And after talking with Wendy Horng Brawer, a Leadership and Transformation Coach who’s been working in education for more than a decade, as well as starting a business to help adults unbind themselves from the mental and social barriers that have been placed upon us, I feel so much better about the future emotional health of our society.-------------------------------------Timestamps:[4:33] Social and emotional
