Easily the best course I have come across, wonderfully presented by Marc Brackett and Yale. The course is incredibly insightful, providing useful evidence-based strategies that is applicable both in one's personal life and in the professional setting. Course presentation and delivery is well-executed, with appropriate lengths of the videos - so that learner's focus and attention aren't lost. Shout out to Marc Brackett, who does a great job in presenting the content.

The content is engaging and informative, profound, life-changing and yet - easy to understand, clear and succinct. Valuable resources and strategies are provided throughout, finishing off with weekly reflections that further consolidates the knowledge learnt and provides a great starting point to apply the skills/strategies taught.

I highly recommend this course. In completing this, I left with a better understanding of managing emotions and new strategies/skills to help manage my emotions and of those of my students. Though the topic area may seem well-trodden, anyone who completes the course will have their expectations exceeded and will be beyond satisifed. I guarntee that everyone will have learnt something new, or gain a new/different perspective. It is a highly practical and relevant course, purposefully designed and aimed to equip learners with skills to manage emotions that anyone can benefit from.

Great work from Marc and the Yale team, thoroughly enjoyed the course.

I am very happy to complete this course. I am a Japanese and a school counselor and a clinical psychologist. At elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools, I give lessons of Anger Management (emotional education) to the children, students, teachers and parents. I have been giving lessons of Anger Management for more than 10 years. The elementary school and junior high schools using the text which we made are gradually increasing in Japan. I have been interested in your work before. This time, I wanted to take this course very much. The contents in the each section are the same when I give a lesson. I could say OK to what I have been doing. But I am thinking there are so many things that I want to learn from Yale Center Emotional Intelligence. I would like to keep studying from now on. To tell the truth, it took much time to read and listen to this course' content, looking up the words in the electronic dictionary. Because all English! That's why it took time to complete this course. But I did it! What I learned in this course is very helpful for my work. Thank you very much for all of you. In the future, I would like to visit you at Yale center Emotional Intelligence in the future.

Uncertainty and stress often go hand in hand. Uncertainty about the future, whether it's related to personal life, work, or academic pursuits, can lead to significant stress. When we don't know what to expect, our minds can start to fill in the blanks with worst-case scenarios, heightening our stress levels. For students, uncertainty about exams, grades, or college admissions can be a major source of stress. Teachers and educators can help by providing clear expectations and guidelines, as well as support and resources to manage stress. In the workplace, uncertainty about job security, projects, or company direction can also cause stress among employees. Employers can address this by communicating openly and transparently, and offering opportunities for professional development and growth. In general, learning to manage uncertainty and stress is an important life skill. This can involve techniques such as mindfulness, exercise, and time management. By recognizing the relationship between uncertainty and stress, we can take steps to better manage both and improve our overall well-being.

Before taking this course, I used to get a little anxious as I start to teach or start to work on any new assignment. Since I took this course, I learned strategies to manage my emotions such as taking a deep breaths and having a positive self talk such as "I can do it" and "it is going to be ok". These strategies helped me to stay calm and feel less anxious. I teach the same strategies to my students as well to manage their emotions.

As I use these strategies, I feel more calm in the classroom which positively affects the whole classroom environment. I realized that if I stay more calm, I handle the situation very effectively and everyone feels happy in the classroom and teaching and earning just flows. I feel more emotionally strong and knowledgable after taking this course.

Additionally, the course provided plenty of opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. All in all, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their emotional intelligence and manage their emotions in times of uncertainty and stress.

Я получил множество полезных инструментов и стратегий для управления своими эмоциями в сложные времена. Материалы курса были структурированными и легко усваиваемыми, что помогло мне лучше понять свои эмоциональные реакции и научиться контролировать их. Особенно полезными были техники релаксации и ко-регуляции, которые можно применять в повседневной жизни. Я также ценю примеры и практические задания, которые способствовали моему личному росту. Рекомендую этот курс всем, кто хочет улучшить свою эмоциональную грамотность и справляться со стрессом.

This is a brilliant course for anyone aspiring to understand the fundamental aspects of emotional intelligence. The modules, tools, and concepts like SEL will help them enhance their emotional intelligence. So that they can, in turn, use those capabilities to make a difference in other people's lives. The course is structured and comprehensive as long as one is willing to put in the effort and hard work. Thanks to Yale University for offering such a practical-based course during these trying times when many people struggle with emotions.

I recommend this be taught in all schools - staff and students. We all need a detailed guide to understanding emotions we ourselves are going through, and how to manage them whenever they arise - which they do. Then to model that, try to understand others' emotions, and help them navigate and manage them as well. It's a first step to open the door of clear communication, and to melt down the mental and prejudice barriers we have built around ourselves from understanding, celebrating and cherishing others for who they truly are.

Whether you're a teacher, student, or simply a person trying to live a more emotionally aware life, this course has something for you. I took a lot away from this course, and it helped me internally reflect and make plans to change and help myself. It was easy to follow along with the flow of assignments, the work required is very simple, and the quizzes aid as reflections into your personal life and application of the skills you learn in the course. Would definitely recommend it!

This course was a game changer for educators wanting to make a lasting impact on the social, emotional, and academic outcome for their students. Marc Brackett walks participants through a series of lessons that grow each individual in their emotional well-being, while helping them to perceive others in a different way. I would recommend this course to any educator who wanted to change their classroom and school climate into one of acceptance and relationship centered.

Whoever created this course - KUDOS!!! I found the course to cover all aspects of the course to be super beneficial to my personal emotional health and well-being, and in understanding how important it is to take care of myself so I am prepared to notice what is going on with peers and students. I especially appreciate the concept of The RULER Approach! Great JOB!! Also, great job to the illustrators and voice-over people!!

Great course! I loved the diversified way the lessons are presented for all learners.The stress free completion and working at my own pace made this an enjoyable course! In addition, I feel my learning cemented by the ability to go back and submit work for a regrade as it helped me to look at errors and try again by resubmitting after looking at the portions that I was unsure of. Very enjoyable and I would take another course!

This was an exceptional course and the structure allowed me to return to the information and apply it to my day-to-day. I appreciate the attention and detail invested into making this course thorough and seamless. I shared what I learned with my team and have encouraged them to leverage this resource. I am hoping to incorporate this into our educator training and will make sure to become a RULER school.

What a great way to start this school year. Stress in high with students and teachers. Because of this course, I believe I am strong emotionally and in a position to help others. Next year, we are going to teach RULER to our students. Dr. Brackett is amazing. I read Permission to Feel and while I cried and lost a lot of sleep while I read it, I learned so much about myself. Thank you.

I thank Dr. Marc Brackett and his team for carrying out this course, as teachers, we are always oriented to serve and attend to the needs of our students and parents in the same way, and the question is who takes care of my emotions? I appreciate all the strategies and resources provided to deal with a dystopian situation and power just like the eagles soaring above the circumstances.

It addresses your needs to become familiar with Emotional Intelligence and SEL strategies. This course made it possible for me to understand the difference between being an Emotional Scientist v. Emotional judge.

This is one of the best self-paced online course that i have come across on the topic of emotions. it has been presented with creativity and ingenuity. This course trains the mind and heart to recognize and manage emotions with the help of colors and scenarios that make it quite memorable; thus facilitating implementation of the same in real life scenarios.

Increíbles todas las herramientas que enseñan, los tips y ejercicios. Ayudan no solo en la vida profesional, sino para un crecimiento personal. Es algo que debería tener mucho más valor en las escuelas y trabajos para que todos contemos con la inteligencia emocional, aprendamos que las emociones son necesarias y grandes señales de nuestro cuerpo.

I do not work in the US but COVID has affected the world- so this was very useful. This course is a very organized view into developing skills and thinking about emotions intelligently. Learned a lot about a particular approach to SEL and saw clear and immediate ways to apply it in my both my high school classes and personal life.
