Webinar description
The ability to communicate positively and effectively is the most foundational of leadership skills. What does it mean to be emotionally literate? What impression do you leave with others? And does your emotional wake help or hinder your ability to build relationships and influence others?

Join this essential discussion and learn about the seven emotions and five competencies associated with emotional intelligence and how to apply this knowledge to your own professional/work setting.
