Customer Reviews

E. I. Activity Book

User friendly activities for instructors wanting to incorporate E.I. into their learning activities. Most activities are easy to modify to meet specific instructional needs or subjects.

Fantastic!!!

Fantastic, great book for busy managers. You can pick up this book and thumb through it and find an activity to meet your goal, all within minutes. Great resource for team-building.

A great guide book for quick Team EI activities!

Dr. Lynn has done it again with another exceptional book on Emotional Intelligence (EI). I especially like that the book is designed with a quick introduction to EI for those who need a refresher or if you hand it to a manager with no EI experience. The book is neatly organized with a tables listing all the activities and requirements at a glance and then you turn to the specific activity to go into more detail. I recommend this as an excellent resource for a manager who wants to find a quick team activity or an experienced trainer looking to expand their repertoire.

Great book for leaders

I think the Emotional Intelligence Activity book is very useful for anyone who is a supervisor or manager. The activities really made me think about how I interact with my employees. I was surprised at how much I learned about my attitudes. I'm pleased to be able to recommend it to other supervisors or managers who want to improve their relationships with their staff.

Great Resource

I liked the Emotional Intelligence Activity book because it was so different than most of the exercise books on my shelf. I am an Executive Coach and I am often looking for material that challenges my clients. The activities in the book are characterized by difficulty which helped me to make decisions about which exercises to use with which clients. I also found the notes to the trainer and coach very useful. It deepened my understanding of what Ms. Lynn was trying to accomplish with the exercise.
