Why Dr. Sonia Toledo Focuses on Elevating Emotional Intelligence and Management in Supervisors Serving Low-Income Communities?

Dr. Sonia Toledo has dedicated over two decades to the after-school sector, offering her expertise to guide supervisors and directors in creating effective and impactful programs. Her pivotal dissertation research, The Correlation Between Emotional Intelligence and Workplace Stress, published in Afterschool Matters Journal, Spring 2023, uniquely positions her to understand the critical role Emotional Intelligence (EQ) plays in workplace success and personal well-being.

Dr. Toledo has observed through her years of experience that supervisors in low-income communities face a unique set of stressors and challenges that can be mitigated through enhanced EQ and managerial skills.

The term "EQ" was coined by psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer in 1990. They introduced the concept of emotional intelligence and popularized the use of the term EQ to refer to one's emotional intelligence quotient.
