Leading with Emotional Intelligence: Confidence, Clarity, Compassion

Communication doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Conflict doesn’t have to be chaotic. Whether you're resolving tension, building meaningful connections at work, or trying to keep your peace under pressure, how you respond in challenging moments is what sets you apart.

Emotional intelligence (EI) helps you show up steady, grounded, and ready. It’s the skill that keeps you connected when things get uncomfortable—and helps you lean in when others might shut down.

This Chat and Learn is your practical guide to using EI in real time personally and professionally. Every interaction is an opportunity to flex your superpower and EI helps you show up with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

Join Michelle Howard, Belonging & Employee Experience Director at Vizient, Certified Emotional Intelligence Trainer and Master Facilitator for this dynamic interactive conversation.
