Continuing the Conversation with Sadie and Julienne Meyer CBE, PhD - Emotional Intelligence in Care

In this episode of Continuing the Conversation, Sadie and Professor Julianne Mayer explore the vital intersection of emotional intelligence, research, and social care. They discuss the importance of embedding evidence-based practices in everyday care, the role of emotional intelligence in leadership, and the need for reflective spaces for carers. Julianne emphasises the significance of relationships in care, the complexities of emotional labour, and the ripple effect of small changes in care settings. The conversation highlights the importance of community, connection, and the ongoing journey of learning and adapting in the field of care.Research is core to my being.Everything I do is guided by four frameworks.Emotional labour is when you're masking your true feelings.We need to create communities where people can look out for one another.Care is not just a service, it's a practice of noticing.Research isn't just about evidence, it's about relationships.We have to create safe spaces for reflection.Change is always possible; believe in the ripple effect.00:00 Introduction to Emotional Intelligence in Care02:00 Foundations and Values in Social Care10:03 The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership19:02 Building Resilience Through Reflection27:01 Creating Supportive Environments for Reflection
