Tip of the Quarter

How to Build Your Emotional Intelligence.   The most important factor in attempting to cultivate emotional intelligence is the importance of listening and not talking. When people feel like they are having difficulty with a social skill, their insecurities bring on talking. So, when people are insecure about something, they tend to talk. 




Inside Perspective

We asked Derrick Redd, athletics communications intern at Mount Holyoke College, a few questions about his experience.  
 

How has NCAA programming benefitted you? Being in a learning environment with others that have the same drive and dedication has pushed me harder to provide the best possible product for the student-athletes I serve every day. 


What have you enjoyed most about your internship? I have enjoyed developing a close bond with the  intern cohort and constantly sharing ideas to improve each other.  Also, sharing my experiences to empower the next person is a great feeling. I better understand the importance of not just looking forward, but looking back to find ways to help others.
