Emotional intelligence has long been discussed as a requirement for "soft skills" in organizations, the things considered secondary after ensuring policies and procedures are firmly in place. Turns out, however, that the most mentally well, productive, and best-led teams these days have a clear understanding of emotional intelligence. Despite technological advances that allow for efficiency and less face-to-face connection than ever before, we cannot automate relationships. In this talk, Dr. Carrington helps audiences understand how to perceive better, control, and evaluate emotions, both in oneself and in others. This leads to more impactful leadership, reduces experiences of burnout and helps people better navigate challenging conversations and change. From a neuro-physiological perspective, we will walk through what it means to access the best parts of ourselves and our employees and discuss practical, easily implemented strategies to create the most successful, connected teams. ...less
