Join bestselling author and Yale professor Dr. Marc Brackett, in conversation with acclaimed writer and Narrative 4 Co-Founder Colum McCann at our upcoming virtual event.

In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world, one skill separates those who thrive from those who struggle or burn out: emotion regulation.

How do you react when life offers challenges? Maybe you freeze when faced with a difficult choice, or find yourself lashing out. How we deal with our feelings, both in high-pressure moments and when navigating the smaller hurdles that come up day-to-day, determines success in virtually every aspect of life.

On Tuesday September 23, Narrative 4 invites you to Dealing with Feeling, a live conversation with bestselling author and Yale professor Dr. Marc Brackett and acclaimed writer and Narrative 4 Co-Founder Colum McCann. This interactive journey through Dr. Brackett’s new book, Dealing with Feeling, will explore how mastering emotions—and helping others manage theirs—can benefit our personal relationships, our professional lives and our communities.

Storytelling is, in many ways, the nucleus of our emotional connection and at the core of healing.

Dr. Brackett is the President of the Narrative 4 board and the Founding Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. He also is the author of the bestselling book Permission to Feel (now translated into twenty-seven languages). Marc is the lead developer of RULER, an evidence-based framework for cultivating emotional intelligence, currently adopted by more than five thousand schools worldwide. He is an author on more than two hundred scholarly articles, has headlined more than seven hundred conferences, and advises Fortune 500 companies on integrating emotional intelligence into workplace culture.

This event is relevant to anyone interested in using their emotions more wisely to create a fulfilling life. Whether you want to create a more supportive school community, or you’re seeking practical tools to nurture relationships and reach personal goals, emotional regulation skills can help you handle whatever challenges life throws your way.
