SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence as a Leadership Predictor - Hosted by WEST

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.
