A Message from
David Selberg
Dear Friends,
 
We hope that you will tune in to see the next speaker in our illuminate Speaker Series, Daniel Goleman, tomorrow, June 23, at 6:00 pm PDT. In this presentation, Daniel Goleman, the leading authority on emotional intelligence, will discuss why emotional intelligence is needed now more than ever and how to preserve and support our relationships and connection in the time of a pandemic that limits social interactions. And, ultimately, how we can prepare ourselves and relearn critical social skills as we make it to the other side of the pandemic. If you haven't done so already, you can register here.
 
I also wanted to share with you that we are doing something a bit different for our next illuminate event next Tuesday, June 29th, from 6-7:00 pm PDT–a Navigating Re-entry Town Hall. The pandemic that has engulfed our lives over the past year and a half did not come with an instruction book and so we, as a community and country, have been learning as we go. Now that there seems to be a very clear and bright light at the end of this dark tunnel, there is still a level of uncertainty and fear about how we re-enter and return to aspects of our former daily lives. We thought it would be helpful to start a dialogue about some of these feelings and questions. While we don't promise any concrete answers, we believe it will be helpful to provide a supportive forum to recognize and name what we are experiencing and that none of us are in this alone.
 
This virtual community town hall forum will be held where everyone is invited to “attend” (particularly those in Santa Barbara County), as panelists discuss the anxiety and uncertainty that we are all feeling on some level, as we "re-enter" society including work, school, travel, social/entertainment events, community gatherings and all other forms of in-person living.
 
Panelists for this unique event include Catherine Remak, K-LITE FM, Gary & Catherine show co-host, Suzanne Grimmesey, PIO/Chief Quality Care and Strategy Officer, SB County, Susan Salcido, Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools, Eddie Ellner, Founder of Yoga Soup, Kristen Rohm, Spiritual Care Coordinator, Hospice of Santa Barbara, and Charles Caldwell, Moderator (and new parent), Hospice of Santa Barbara. Attendance is free, but registration is required. Register here.
 
 
Be well,
David Selberg

Daniel Goleman
Tomorrow, June 23 at 6:00 PM PDT
Daniel Goleman will be joining us tomorrow, June 23rd, from 6:00 – 7:00 PM PDT. Daniel will present Emotional Intelligence in the Challenging Times of a Pandemic.
No one has been left untouched by the effects of living during a global pandemic. While we have navigated this time with technology and new practices to keep us safe, there is a burgeoning concern for the short and long-term ramifications of distance and isolation will have on us all. Furthermore, as we reach the other side of the pandemic and a hopeful return to "normalcy," how do we prepare ourselves to adapt and flourish?
In this engagement, Daniel Goleman, the leading authority on emotional intelligence, will discuss why emotional intelligence is needed now more than ever and how to preserve and support our relationships and connections in the time of a pandemic that limits social interactions. And, ultimately, how we can prepare ourselves and relearn critical social skills as we make it to the other side of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times bestsellers list for a year-and-a-half. Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 40 languages. HBR called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.” His follow-up, Working With Emotional Intelligence, outlined the importance of EI in professional settings.
The event is FREE and open to the community, but registration is required.

Inteligencia emocional durante tiempos de una pandemia

Todos nos hemos visto afectados por los efectos de esta pandemia mundial. Aunque todos hemos tomado precauciones para mantenernos sanos, existen preocupaciones sobre los efectos de corto y largo plazo que la distancia y el aislamiento tendrán para todos nosotros. A medida que nos acercamos a una nueva etapa de esta pandemia, nos preguntamos cómo podemos prepararnos para prosperar y adaptarnos? 
 
En esta presentación gratuita, Daniel Goleman, un líder en psicología emocional, hablará sobre la importancia de la inteligencia emocional ahora más que nunca, y las maneras que podemos prepararnos para volver a aprender habilidades básicas de socialización a medida que salimos de esta pandemia. 

Su libro “Inteligencia Emocional” estuvo en la lista de los más vendidos del New York Times durante un año y medio. Nombrado uno de los 25 "libros de gestión empresarial más influyentes" por TIME, ha sido traducido a 40 idiomas.
