Creating a Culture of Care: Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace presented by Lindsay Wells
Great leadership isn’t just about hard skills and experience—it’s also about emotional intelligence. As leaders, it’s vital that we not only understand our technical roles but also regulate our emotions and respond to workplace situations with care, professionalism, and empathy.
Emotional intelligence can feel vulnerable to explore, but by practicing it ourselves, we can model and teach it to others—enhancing both our leadership toolkit and company culture.
Join us Thursday, August 21st, from 12 - 1 PM, where we’ll cover the four key areas of emotional intelligence and how to apply them:
- Self-Awareness – Recognizing how our personal story shapes emotional responses.
- Self-Management – Taking responsibility for our emotions and learning to manage them.
- Social Awareness – Observing and learning from others' experiences and perspectives.
- Relationship Management – Building trust through active listening, open communication, and respect.
Through practical examples and tools, you'll leave better equipped to strengthen emotional intelligence in yourself, your team, and your workplace.
