We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University, will be part of our EmotionIntell 2025 Conference in Manchester, UK. Renowned for his groundbreaking work on emotional intelligence (EI) in educational settings, Dr. Brackett will be sharing insights from his widely acclaimed RULER initiative, now used in over 5,000 schools worldwide.
A Pioneer in Emotional Intelligence Research
Dr. Brackett is a leading voice in the science of emotional intelligence, recognized for his innovative research on how emotions impact learning, decision-making, creativity, relationships, and mental health. As a professor at Yale, he has dedicated his career to bridging the gap between academic research and practical applications, especially in schools and other youth-centred environments.
Author of Best-Selling “Permission to Feel”
Among Dr. Brackett’s most notable accomplishments is his best-selling book, Permission to Feel, which explores the importance of recognizing, understanding, labelling, expressing, and regulating emotions. Drawing on decades of research, he presents practical strategies for improving emotional well-being—an essential resource for educators, parents, and anyone aiming to foster healthier emotional climates.
The RULER Initiative: Transforming School Culture
Through the RULER initiative, Dr. Brackett has successfully introduced evidence-based emotional intelligence curricula to thousands of classrooms. The program’s core approach—teaching children to Recognize, Understand, Label, Express, and Regulate their emotions—has been credited with improving academic performance, reducing bullying, and strengthening school communities. We look forward to hearing how these principles can guide new and existing Child EI programs on a global scale.
Live Virtual Appearance & Interactive Q&A
Although Dr. Brackett’s academic schedule prevents him from attending in person, he will be joining live via video for a keynote presentation, followed by an interactive question-and-answer session. This virtual format ensures delegates can still engage with Dr. Brackett in real time, asking questions about RULER, emotional development in children, and the future of EI research.
