Thank you for being my ally. Today on LinkedIn I am releasing Episode 5 of my podcast “The Big Idea”. I am hoping that you can help me promote it by sharing it, reposting it, commenting and liking it. I appreciate your support as always!
I’m thrilled to share a recent conversation I had with Dr. Laura Ciel about how important emotional intelligence is for successful business relationships. Laura is the CEO and Co-Founder of 9Q Solutions and an expert in human growth, health and performance. She has extensive experience helping business executives and teams thrive by fostering self-awareness and communicating more effectively.
?In this first part of our two-part conversation, Laura and I discuss what emotional intelligence truly means, why it's crucial, and how we can develop it to enhance both our personal and professional lives. You'll hear about practical strategies to increase your self-awareness, manage your emotions effectively, and become a more empathetic and impactful leader. Whether you're looking to improve your workplace dynamics or simply seeking personal growth, this conversation promises to be both enlightening and actionable.

I have been asked by several of you- those starting out in DEI, others of you who have been DEI practitioners but need more guidance in scaling the work globally, as well as DEI champions- to teach a course on global DEI. Each time I meet you, I can see that global DEI draws the most interest and also the most frustration!
In response to these requests, I am excited to announce that I will be launching the Global DEI Seminar.
The Seminar will include:
A 3-Day Live Virtual Masterclass

A Group Coaching Session
