Time: 3:15–4:00 | Location: Sikes I
About this session
No matter your role — whether in government, corporate, nonprofit, or small business — the ability to navigate relationships, manage stress, and make sound decisions under pressure is essential to success. In fast-paced, high-stakes environments, technical skills alone aren’t enough. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the hidden driver behind effective leadership, meaningful collaboration, and long-term growth.
This interactive session explores the five core components of EQ and how to apply them in real-world situations — from leading teams and managing conflict to communicating with clarity and building trust across all levels of an organization.
Whether you’re leading people, managing projects, or advancing your career, you’ll gain practical tools to increase your self-awareness, improve your interpersonal effectiveness, and level up your leadership presence in any workplace.
