Leading with Emotional Intelligence; Develop your EI with Sara Potecha
Did you know on average that you have over 400 emotional responses in a given day? Think about that, this means that everyone you interact with also has about 400 emotional responses. However, most of us operate totally unaware of our emotional state. As leaders if we want to lead or influence others, we must be able to read the emotional cues of our employees, customers, suppliers and clients. Given the international reality of business in today’s economy, having the ability to read the emotional responses of people from diverse backgrounds and different cultures is vital to one’s success. Moreover, operating under the restrictions of the COVID pandemic makes developing our leadership skills paramount as we face uncertainty, constant change, and increasing stress. In this 35-minute Leading with Emotional Intelligence session our speaker will teach you:
