The EQ-Leadership Connection: the Emotional Basis for Leadership Performance

Plan now to kick off your fall on the right foot by attending our September 14th event with David Cory.

To lead with emotional intelligence is to inspire, to motivate, to instill a sense of worth, belonging, confidence, and to compel others to work to their fullest potential. Successful leadership is measured by the emotions of others. Join David Cory, as he demonstrates the connection between emotional intelligence, and leadership performance. David will introduce his Model of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership and, through interactive games and activities, introduce the EQ skills that leaders must develop if they are to improve their leadership performance for the 21st Century.
