Build better relationships to navigate change within your organization

Relational Leadership: Building Emotional Intelligence and Psychological Safety in Organizations

This session introduces a Relational Leadership model that teaches leaders how to develop the self and connect better with others, especially in times of uncertainty, change, and conflict. Participants will learn applied personal tools (self-awareness, emotional intelligence, etc.) and relational and team tools (psychological safety, etc.) that are needed to positively shape teams and organizational culture. We’ll introduce ways to better understand the self, lead with authenticity and the heart, and connect and engage with others. This session uses interactive examples, scenarios, exercises, and discussions to explore important emotional, cognitive, and relational tools that are needed for leaders to excel and shape team and organizational culture
