Navigating your leadership with relational wisdom can be challenging. In this session, your presenter will unpack the principles of emotional intelligence to assist you in leading those around you and yourself in a way that maximizes your relational connections. Emotional intelligence (EQ) refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. EQ is often considered a critical component of effective leadership, as it enables individuals to understand and respond appropriately to their own feelings and those of others, and to use this information to guide their thinking and behavior. It encompasses a range of skills and abilities, including self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills.
