Leading with Emotional Intelligence
Leverage your emotional intelligence advantage to lead through challenging times.
Current times are extremely challenging for leaders at every level. Crisis has become constant. Leading transformation and change is critical. It is crucial to provide direction and support to team members and employees in order for them to stay highly motivated in a new normal working environment and be at their best while dealing with rising job insecurity and major strategic shifts across industries.

This learning journey, which takes place over the course of two interactive, half-day sessions and includes a personal follow-up coaching session, will provide you with the insights and tools to better lead with emotional intelligence.
"More than ever, our complex world needs leaders who understand the people dimension in business. After a successful career in global industry, my role has expanded to open doors for others to become better leaders.

A key element of this leadership program is an individual, one-hour executive coaching session offered after the program. This is a confidential one-on-one coaching meeting with a highly experienced, certified business coach, in order to make you more successful in tackling your leadership challenges.
A typical session includes a joint exploration with your coach around the issue you are facing, which sets the stage for an impactful coaching conversation to help you achieve more clarity about the best approach to your challenge and develop an initial plan how to achieve the results you’re looking for. This will be most effective if you make a personal commitment to follow your plan.
The session will be online/video call via Zoom, or by phone within 45 days of program to provide the best possible support for you and your leadership development.
