About this Event
“Emotional intelligence is not a static trait – it can be cultivated and learned at any point in life, by anyone, to their benefit and the benefit of those they interact with.” – Dr. John Gottman
Boly:Welch presents a panel on Emotional Intelligence (EQ).
There is no shortage of articles and leaders touting the importance of emotional intelligence. However, there has been a lack of in-depth discussion on how to tangibly cultivate EQ, especially in light of the events of the past year.
Join Boly:Welch as we discuss EQ with three in-demand leaders and consultants: Travis Stovall, Shari Dunn, and Joni Roylance. We’ll define EQ, delve into practical and repeatable approaches to grow EQ within ourselves and our teams, and discuss expectations around emotionally intelligent leadership during COVID-19 and the racial justice movement.
Whether your organization is boutique or Fortune 500, local or global, increasing EQ in yourself, your leaders, and your colleagues is good for business.
After our panelists have had a chance to share their insights, there will be time for Q & A.
We’re excited to welcome our panelists:
