Steven Shook, PhD, founder of ShakeItUp Consulting will bring to us an engaging session on Emotional Intelligence at Work: Managing Yourself and Connecting with Others

Emotional intelligence shapes how we communicate, respond to stress, navigate conflict, and build relationships at work. In this interactive session, participants will explore the core components of emotional intelligence and identify practical ways to strengthen their self-awareness, emotional regulation, and connection with others. Designed specifically for HR professionals and people leaders, the session offers simple tools that can be applied immediately to everyday workplace situations.

Participants will learn to:

1. Recognize how emotions influence communication, behavior, and decision-making.
2. Apply strategies for managing emotional reactions during stressful or difficult situations.
3. Use empathy and emotional awareness to strengthen workplace relationships and conversations.
