Drawing from decades of hands-on experience applying validated scientific assessments and diagnostic tools with leaders, John will share practical strategies to cultivate deeper self-awareness. Attendees will discover proven tools for enhancing emotional intelligence, enabling them to better adapt to workplace challenges, respond more effectively, and show up as more impactful, supportive leaders.
