“Building resilience is like building muscle. It takes work and repetition. Give students real-world problems to solve, allow them to fail, and then encourage them to get back up and try again.”

Empathy is a superpower in business and in life. Every great company is built on empathy for its customers, and every great team is based in the empathy leaders and team members feel for each other.

Working with, for and by community there is no greater skill than the ability to directly connect with others and that is why we embed elements of SEL into so many of our activities and programs. Being an expert at one or two things is great when it comes to hard skills, but the power of social-emotional learning is the ability to connect and understand others at its core. So, even when you don't have a hard skill you'll always have the ability to connect and find community to leverage what you need to be successful. Those are tools we want every Brilliant Detroit participant to have in their toolbox!

Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” Henry Ford. Without collaboration we do not find true progress. It is when we acknowledge that the best work is when we all collaborate and add the little touches of love that we need on this life!

Business leaders agree that social and emotional learning (SEL) education helps prepare the workforce of tomorrow. The skills that companies seek in their workforce—communication, teamwork, initiative, problem-solving, and more—are the skills developed through SEL education.
