Today's show addresses the need to show our love to our Moms. As one caller put it, his Dad told him, in war when soldiers are hurt and dying, when they cry out, it is for their Mom. Even though relationships are easily strained, and we aren't always getting along with our family members, there are times when we just need to reach past the tough stuff and focus on the love that is there. Mother's Day, in my mind at least, is a time for coming together. Listen to the show and see what positive memories come back for you about you and your Mom. And if you are lucky enough to still have your Mom with you, let her know how you feel!

I organized a panel of experts to discuss the growing importance of emotional intelligence. In this episode I feature Cary Cherniss who has partnered with Dan Goleman to create and run the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations (CREIO). Carey has also authored articles and books on emotional intelligence. Other speakers Helen Riess and Richard Boyatzis can be seen and heard on the longer version of the discussion on YouTube.

Two pioneering psychologists, Yale President Peter Salovey Emeritus and University of New Hampshire Psychology Professor Jack Mayer, discovered and published an article about emotional intelligence in 1990. Chuck Wolfe worked closely with them and created the Emotion Roadmap to help people improve their emotional intelligence abilities. Listen to the rich history of emotional intelligence discovery and how the Emotion Roadmap helps people enhance their emotional abilities. The picture is of a client of Chuck's newborn baby who is holding a copy of the Emotion Roadmap. The client wrote to Chuck, "we need to get them started learning about this as soon as possible!" LOL
