EI, EI, Oh! Foundational Emotional Intelligence Skills for Successful Equity & Inclusion Programs
Wednesday, March 1, 12-1 p.m. EST
It's challenging to maintain an inclusive mindset while under pressure to meet organizational deadlines and achieve personal career goals. But it's necessary not only for an organization to fulfill its mission and vision and meet profitability bechmarks, but for society to function as a sustainable democracy that recognizes the role of social justice in its survival.
 Emotional intelligence skills help us acknowledge unfamiliar perspectives. Join Certified Emotional Intelligence Coach Amy Steindler '80 for a thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion about the interaction of the two “EI’s” — emotional intelligence and equity & inclusion — that drive quality communication, deep insight, normalizing discomfort for the greater good. We’ll discuss the emotional intelligence skills that are most likely to support successful efforts to create the kinds of equitable and inclusive environments which move society forward.
This event is part of William & Mary's Professional Development Week (February 27-March 3). All week long the W&M community will focus on celebrating our W&M network and professional affinities. No matter what stage of your career you are in, don’t miss this great opportunity to connect with and leverage your lifelong W&M network for professional success! #OneTribeOneNetwork
