Strategic Leadership with Emotional Intelligence
Workshop Description
This workshop equips people leaders with the emotional intelligence skills needed to lead confidently, think more strategically, and respond effectively in today’s complex workplace. By exploring core leadership behaviours through the lens of emotional intelligence—including self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, sound judgment, and intentional communication—participants will gain practical strategies to navigate challenges, make thoughtful decisions, foster engagement, and support team performance. Using Carolyn Stern’s five-step model, The High-EI Way, leaders will learn how to recognize emotions, reflect before reacting, regulate responses, reset with intention, and respond in ways that build trust, strengthen accountability, and support better business outcomes. Whether leading through change, managing conflict, coaching others, or influencing team direction, this session provides actionable tools to help leaders elevate their leadership presence, improve alignment, and create a more positive, productive, and high-performing team culture.
