Presenters:

Daniel Goleman is an internationally known author and psychologist. His 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence appeared on The New York Times bestseller list for a year and a half. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea” and chose his article “What Makes a Leader” as one of ten “must-read” articles from its pages. Emotional Intelligence was named one of the 25 “Most Influential Business Management Books” by TIME Magazine.

Richard Davidson, Founder and Chair of the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and New York Times bestselling author of The Emotional Life of Your Brain, conducts groundbreaking research on emotion and the brain. His research has shown that our unique brain patterns affect the way we feel, think, and live, and we have the power to improve them. Davidson's research is broadly focused on the neural bases of emotion and on methods to promote human flourishing, including meditation and related contemplative practices.

Vanessa Druskat is an internationally recognized expert and consultant on group emotional intelligence. Druskat's Harvard Business Review article - “Building the emotional intelligence of groups” (with Steven B. Wolff) - has been a top seller for HBR for over a decade. “How to Lead Self-Managing Work Teams” (with Jane V. Wheeler) was a long-time best-selling article for M.I.T.'s Sloan Management Review. As Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior and Management at the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire, USA., Druskat conducts award-winning research that investigates team effectiveness, team leadership, and emotional intelligence.

He is the author of more than 150 articles on leadership.
