“In The Box” Episode 2: Love and Hustle: Leveraging Emotions To Drive Business Success

On 26th February, Boxplay hosted the Second Episode of "In the Box" Knowledge Series with a major touch of Love this time around.

This session navigated the complexities of building and growing a business in Africa with regards to the critical role emotional intelligence plays in driving success. From building strong relationships with customers and stakeholders, to navigating the emotional nuances of African markets, to cultivating resilience in the face of adversity, emotional intelligence is a key to unlocking business growth. The webinar was one of a kind as it emphasized enough on the somewhat underemphasized matter of Love, Emotions and Emotional control within the workspace with regards to ensuring business success.

Thank you to our dear panelists: Kimberly Addison , Daniel Kwabena Owusu, MBA and Maame Ekua Gaisey - People Enabler and to Karley Mettle Tutu for such a wonderful moderation.
