My virtual workshops and keynotes are customized to connect with your people and help you achieve your strategic goals. If your goal is to build an emotionally intelligent culture, drive sales or improve how you communicate with colleagues and customers, I will deliver a leadership experience that inspires and equips you with the tools to do BIG things. My leadership workshops are crafted for 1-hour or for a half or full-day experience for your salespeople, leadership team or future leaders. My focus on emotional intelligence, team-building and culture is rooted in academic research, engaging stories and easy-to-implement tools and techniques.
There are several different kinds of intelligence, and yet we focus so much on just IQ. Research shows that emotional intelligence (EQ) is the best predictor of long-term success in the workplace. So, why aren’t we as leaders doing more to hone this powerful skill set for ourselves—and to transfer this knowledge to our employees?
This is my top keynote that has been delivered to executives, sales leaders, athletic organizations, financial services companies and leadership cohorts. I break down the qualities of an emotionally intelligent leader and provide clear, actionable ideas on how to integrate these into our careers for maximum impact. Characteristics like empathy, adaptability, positive outlook and self-awareness are essential for helping you lead, make decisions, build rock-solid relationships and capitalize on new opportunities. I provide stories of leaders that looked within to discover how to use EQ to their advantage for tremendous benefit to themselves—and the people they lead.

As the saying goes, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Most organizations know a winning culture matters—the problem is not knowing how to organically and authentically build one in a remote environment. Focusing on five pillars of emotional intelligence, I demonstrate how to use EQ to drive positive cultural change through engagement and action. Based on the research and examples from my books, The Value of You and Leading with Emotional Intelligence, I provide research and practical tools to help you adapt to an evolving technological landscape and connect with your employees. Emotionally intelligent leadership results in improvements to the company's bottom line. These changes begin with building a great culture.
