EQ Over IQ: The Secret Skill That Builds Bridges Across Silos Online
Emotional intelligence is more than a buzzword—it’s the foundation of trust, collaboration, and influence. In this session, we’ll explore with our guest facilitator, Genicka Voltaire, Human Resources Business Partner for University Facilities, how EQ shows up at work, how to strengthen it, and how it can help break down silos across campus.
Learning Objectives:
- Define the core components of emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, etc.)
- Assess your own EQ strengths and growth areas
- Use emotional intelligence to navigate interpersonal challenges and build trust
- Apply EQ to lead with influence, especially across silos
Key Questions:
- How well do I understand the emotional climate of my team or department?
- What’s one emotion I struggle to manage—and how does it show up at work?
- How can I use empathy to bridge gaps between siloed groups?
