IQ may get you going. EQ will set you apart. The more we are connected electronically the less we are connected emotionally. Professionals everywhere are facing burnout, fatigue, and employee disengagement.

In simple and practical terms, Preethi Fernando will share: - How to correct employees by using encouragement and validation, rather than fault-finding and condemnation - How to offer criticism and feedback in an encouraging matter rather than a condemning manager - Emotional intelligence landmines - How to handle tears at work - How to become a virtuoso in interpersonal skills and tools for working with "I am always right" type of employees

In our age of artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and quantum computing, what if your greatest life advances actually came from listening to the advice of your elders? For the past 10 years, David Romanelli has interviewed elders in their 80’s 90’s and 100’s and wrote a book entitled LIFE LESSONS FROM THE OLDEST AND WISEST. He has found the greatest life hacks come not from the podcasting jet-set but from people nearing the end of their lives… weighing in on relationships, longevity, health, happiness, work-life balance, bouncing back from hard times, and the true meaning of “accomplishment." You will finish this webinar with a renewed appreciation for the ones you love (because the elders remind us: they don’t last forever). And you will get back to work inspired to loosen your grip, take a deep breath, and make more time EVERYDAY for “joie de vivre!”
