Lunch Keynote: Profound Leadership Through Emotion Awareness: The REAL Key to Emotional Intelligence |
| |
|
Mike Skrypnek, an executive leadership expert helps entrepreneurs & industry leaders find their happiness, calm, and love so they can share their wisdom & wealth to amplify entrepreneurial success. In his keynote session, Mike will uncover the shortcomings of traditional emotional intelligence training.
Becoming a high performing leader at the helm of an organization, workplace team, or community requires an “x” factor beyond just IQ and EQ. Mike shares insights on what creates gaps in our leadership, as a result of what happened to us, and how those experiences remain “happening with us” until we make important connections that help elevate our performance. Audience members will take away simple strategies and tactics to help build resilience through self-care. |
