SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence as a Leadership Predictor - Hosted by WEST
DESCRIPTION:We continue to live and work through uncertain\, changing and challenging times. How we manage ourselves\, our interactions and relationships with others can be pushed in many directions. Our ability to lead will certainly be heightened and tested throughout these challenges. Now\, more than ever\, our capacity to develop our Emotional Intelligence will enable us to be effective leaders. Emotional intelligence is a defining predictor of success\, especially in today’s increasingly virtual\, AI-driven world. This session led by Rita B.

Join us for a practical and insightful conversation on how emotional intelligence shapes leadership effectiveness—and how to strengthen it in your own leadership journey. This interactive session will provide an overview of EQ and the role it can play in building powerful leaders and high performers. It will include introduction of the brain science behind the theory of emotional intelligence\, tips and strategies for developing emotional intelligence\, and the importance of building the business case for growing emotionally intelligent leaders. \nMore about the speaker: \nRita Balian Allen is the president of Rita B. Allen Associates\, an international career management firm specializing in executive coaching\, leadership development\, management training and career development.

SUMMARY:ADP: Important July 6 Filing Update for R&D Tax Credits
DESCRIPTION:Insights and Practical Guidance Under the One Big Beautiful Bill \nA rare\, time-sensitive\, filing window to identify and secure cash refunds is approaching\, and many small and medium sized businesses don’t realize what’s at stake. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)\, qualifying businesses now have a final opportunity to amend 2022–2024 tax returns to immediately expense domestic R&D costs and make or fix a Section 280C election. However\, this is only if amended returns are filed no later than July 6\, 2026 (or the earlier expiration of the statute of limitations for each year). Miss the date\, and this flexibility is gone for good. \nThis timely session is designed for Human Resource\, Payroll\, and Tax leaders alike – who play a critical role in data\, documentation\, and execution. We’ll break down what’s changed under the OBBA\, why the July 6 deadline is non-negotiable\, and how employers can act now to avoid costly expenses\, missed credits\, and compliance risk—while preparing payroll and tax teams for the new documentation rules taking effect in 2026. \nKey focus areas for this webinar include: \n\nWhat changed under the OBBA related to R&D and why it matters to employers\nUnderstanding the July6 amendment deadline & which returns may be impacted\nHow the Section280C election affects R&D credit outcomes and amended filings\nThe role of HR and Payroll data in supporting R&D credit documentation\nPreparing for upcoming R&D documentation and filing requirements taking effect in 2026\n\nApproved for 1 SHRM \, HRCI\, and CPE credit

SUMMARY:From Stuck to Strategic: Leadership in the Age of AI - Hosted by WEST
DESCRIPTION:Every leader in your network is under pressure to ‘just AI it.’ Most are navigating that pressure privately — uncertain\, overwhelmed\, and unwilling to say so out loud. \nThis talk led by Dr. Amber J. Conley names what’s actually happening: GenAI doesn’t just change workflows — it threatens identity\, expertise\, and relevance. That’s not a tech problem. That’s a psychology problem. \nThrough real stories\, a practical framework\, and guided reflection moments\, leaders leave with language for something they’ve felt but couldn’t name — and a clear path forward. \nYou will leave with \n\nA framework for understanding why AI adoption stalls at the leadership level\nLanguage for the anxiety they’ve been managing alone\nThree things effective leaders do differently right now\nOne honest reflection they can act on immediately\n\nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Amber Conley has spent 25 years asking one question: what actually helps people lead well when the ground keeps shifting? That question took her from 12 years at IBM to strategy consulting at BCG to a PsyD in Leadership Psychology — and now to coaching executives and emerging leaders navigating one of the most disorienting shifts of their careers: AI. She teaches leadership at Endicott College’s School of Business\, coaches through her practice Elevate Your Leadership\, and brings the same belief to every room she’s in: the most powerful leadership development happens when insight meets action.
