Our Communities Need Us
2020 has been a unique time for all of us and COVID-19 has transformed our lives in ways we never thought possible. Forced to stay at home for weeks and months, we grapple with rising uncertainty and massive disruptions.
All over the world, businesses and organizations are adapting to the “new normal”. Despite limitations on in-person meetings and travel, creative, compassionate leaders are finding ways to connect digitally, overcome obstacles, and keep serving the communities that need them. To succeed, we must take care of ourselves so that we can be there for the people who need us.
​
We hope that you will join us in this digital training series that will engage your team, continue their professional development, and maintain team connectivity, through a deep dive into leadership and team building competencies.

Hard & Soft Skills
Research has shown that emotional intelligence is a large indicator of how well teams are able to make decisions, communicate, and collaborate in a 21st century working environment. Although knowledge and proficiency of hard skills are necessary for a successful team to create output, emotional intelligence is required for interpersonal functioning, stress management, and overall job performance. In order for businesses to generate exceptional productivity in the workplace, there is an increasing demand for socially and emotionally literate professionals in the nation’s workforce.
