Emotional Intelligence Keynote Speakers

The Key to Building the Agile, Highly Engaged Workforce of the Future

The workplace is changing profoundly.  Artificial intelligence and automation are taking over mental and physical tasks. At the same time, the pandemic and labor shortage have created a critical imperative to retain and engage people. Your people are also dealing with burnout and high levels of stress because they are being asked to do more with less resources. Our Emotional Intelligence Keynote Speakers and thought leaders will share the research and brain science that demonstrates Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills are the key differentiator to achieving high performance, employee engagement and retention, innovation and customer experience.

The reason employees get up in the morning and choose to give extra effort or take risks to try something new has little to do with the IQ or technical skills of their manager. Instead, it has everything to do with their manager’s level of Emotional Intelligence.

The research is clear that Emotional Intelligence is the single most important driver of an engaged, results-driven, highly agile workforce. In this interactive session, delivered by an emotional intelligence keynote speaker, your team will walk away with:  

  • An understanding of the brain science of emotions: what the brain does under pressure
  • Specific tools and strategies to effectively manage emotions when there is uncertainty, stress, and conflict. Your audience will learn techniques developed in collaboration with the US Navy to manage their emotions in high pressure situations.
  • Self-awareness: understanding the impact of your leadership style on retention and engagement of your team.
  • How to build empathy and trust that will win the hearts and minds of your people by connecting to the emotions that drive their behavior.
  • Engaging stories of leaders on the frontlines who are stepping up and winning in the most challenging, pressure-filled circumstances, including the U.S. Marines, Surgeons, Goldman Sachs and Olympic Athletes

This emotional intelligence keynote will benefit your audience both personally and professionally. It can be tailored to emphasize a variety of objectives, including:

  • Increasing retention and engagement
  • Managing change and disruption
  • Driving innovation
  • Building high performing teams
  • Leveraging Emotional Intelligence to enable culture and values
  • Developing new and emerging leaders
  • Driving sales performance and sales leadership
  • EI in science, technology, engineering, and finance roles
  • Collaboration and Communication
