FREE Next Event: The Gift of Adversity
We invite you to attend a Helios Connections Webinar hosted by our Director of Admissions, Susan Stanat, and featuring Anabel Jensen, Ph.D., a master teacher, a pioneer in emotional intelligence education, and the President and Co-Founder of Six Seconds, The Emotional Intelligence Network, a global organization.
Did you know that optimists are healthier, live longer, and make more money? Optimists also have more friends, cope better with stress, and achieve greater happiness. Optimism is not wishful thinking nor a "Pollyanna attitude" but is instead a specific set of skills for coping with the challenges of life. Join Anabel Jensen, Ph.D. to discover how to analyze your opportunities and tie them to essential skills. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
