About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Linda, an expert in theater and emotional intelligence. She's here to tell us about the new course she's teaching, the Certified Professional in Theater and Emotional Intelligence or CPTEI. Linda, welcome! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm excited to be here. HOST: Let's dive right in. Could you share a bit about your personal experiences that led you to create this course? GUEST: Of course. I've been an actress and a therapist, and I noticed how powerful theatrical techniques can be in enhancing emotional intelligence. This inspired me to develop a program that combines both areas. HOST: That's fascinating. And who would benefit most from taking this course? GUEST: CPTEI is designed for actors, educators, therapists, and anyone looking to improve their communication and leadership skills. It's perfect for those wanting to understand and manage emotions effectively and build stronger interpersonal relationships. HOST: Speaking of communication and leadership, what current trends do you see in these areas as they relate to your course? GUEST: Active listening and empathy are increasingly important in today's fast-paced, digital world. Many professionals struggle to connect on a deeper level, and our course addresses these challenges head-on. HOST: Undoubtedly, developing those skills can be tough. What are some common challenges students might face while learning this subject? GUEST: Initially, students may struggle to apply theatrical techniques in real-world situations. However, we integrate practical, hands-on exercises to help them master these skills. HOST: That's reassuring. Finally, where do you see the future of emotional intelligence and theater in the professional world? GUEST: Emotional intelligence is becoming a critical skill in the workplace, and theater can provide a unique and engaging way to develop it. I believe CPTEI is at the forefront of this trend, empowering individuals to transform their personal and professional interactions. HOST: Linda, thank you so much for sharing your insights and telling us about the Certified Professional in Theater and Emotional Intelligence course. We're excited to see the impact it will have on learners. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure! (This transcript is approximately 2 minutes and 15 seconds when read aloud.)
