Abstract
Around the turn of the twenty-first century, we have seen the emergence of a new and intensive focus in educational and social policies on emotional well-being. This is now a central concern in British schools and colleges,1 while Goleman’s concept of “emotional intelligence”2 has become highly influential in the area of workplace learning and development.3 This has been particularly evident in the massive growth of formal mentoring programs over the last three decades.
