About the Conference

Research shows that women do better than men during times of crises, and yet we can lack confidence and doubt our competence when we face tough challenges. As we emerge from the pandemic into a hybrid world, the innate talents women bring to the table—compassion, connection, and collaboration, for starters—are needed more than ever to orchestrate a whole new frontier of work. And how resiliently you answer the clear call for women-centered leadership depends on your level of emotional intelligence (EQ)—your capacity to understand and engage yourself and others.

This full-day program will teach you the five critical components of EQ so that you can be more self-assured, influential, supported, and motivated no matter what is happening around you or who gets in your way.  Join us for this unifying, interactive day filled with insights, practice, sharing, and support, and real stories of women-centered success.
