In school, we were put into teams, but we were never taught how to work within those teams. Our instructors gave us stress, but they never taught us how to handle and manage our stress. You see, most of these life skills are not taught in school or the workplace, for that matter.

In today's day and age, soft skills are just as, if not more, important than hard skills. Being aware of your emotions and those of others, and learning to lead with emotional intelligence are skills that can be taught, and this keynote will start you off with the basics.

Why you need to attend:

  • Learn what emotional intelligence is and how it plays a role in the workplace.
  • Use emotional intelligence to increase personal and interpersonal effectiveness.
  • Gain an awareness of your own emotional quotient or "EQ" and generate a plan for self-development.
