  PRESENTERS:
  Paul Anjeski was skeptical of Emotional Intelligence when it first arrived in the personal development literature. Until about the year 2000 he remained cautious of its foundations and critical of its practicality. As he discovered the growing scientific support of its principles he gradually began introducing EI into professional development and performance improvement programs and recognized considerable improvements by learners. Today he considers EI one of the three most valuable concepts he weaves into the majority of his work. Paul is currently the Organizational Development and Training Manager for the City of Santa Rosa. He has been in the OD and Training field for over 40 years as both an internal and external practitioner. At both the national and chapter levels ATD has been a valued asset to his continuing professional growth and networking.
