Hi! I'm Dr. Tomi White Bryan.

As the Chief Scientist at the Center for Emotional Well-Being, I share the pioneering research that simplifies the development of emotional well-being (EWB).

My passion lies in sorting through data to uncover the stories it tells, allowing me to create meaningful tools that facilitate faster transformation.

It's how I use the flavor of my stardust to help you find and live yours. Because when we own the gifts we bring to the party of life, we invite extraordinary to unfold.

My journey began one Saturday morning when I decided to reimagine emotional intelligence as a way to solve the mysteries of human and organizational performance.

Little did I know that my hobby of writing a book about this new perspective would lead me down a four-year research rabbit hole.

The assessment I created to accompany the book, Emotional Intelligence 3.0: How to Stop Playing Small in a Really Big Universe (a 2023 Best Book Awards Finalist), revealed a story I didn't fully understand.

Driven by curiosity, I kept tinkering with the model and the assessment, conducting study after study, interpreting the data, and adjusting the assessment.

This led to the discovery of a holistic system of emotional well-being for individuals and a System of High-Performance for organizations.

As I delved deeper into EWB research, I discovered a lack of integration and harmonization in the field.

There was no consistent definition, standardized measures, or clear understanding of what causes EWB or how to develop it.

To rectify this issue, I created the Center for Emotional Well-Being as a way to share the EI3.0 System of Emotional Well-being, the EI3.0 System of High-Performance, and the research on them; providing a global framework to advance this important and emerging discipline.

About Dr. Bryan

When I'm not sorting through data, creating tools, thinking up new ways to study EWB, coaching, or facilitating, I enjoy going on adventures, spending time with my family and friends, and laughing as much as possible.

Life is rich and full, and I want to savor it all.
