This book is certainly not a one stop read, I see it being used in CPDL for discussion based segments and will be a text I can see myself using within school to give padding to those coaching sessions we find ourselves in as leaders. It is also a well written text which gives context to what it means to be "Emotionally Intelligent" -- Nick * Nick's Reading *

So much to reflect on and I need to do a lot of work on myself! Thank you to Niomi and all the contributors. -- Jess, Trust Lead for PSHE/RSE * @MissCatcnatch *
