How do you build resilience in the face of adversity? What role does emotional intelligence play in managing stress, uncertainty, and anxiety? Tune in as I join forces with emotional intelligence guru, speaker, and author Jen Shirkani to learn about the combination of emotional intelligence and resilience, its vital role in stress management, and the unique perspectives she gained from her conversations with survivors.

Ever wondered how to measure emotional intelligence? Jen guides us through the significance of identifying behavioral patterns, the delicate equilibrium of assertiveness and empathy, and how self-awareness bolsters relationships.

In this conversation, we explore the importance of resilience and how organizations can nurture it. We touch on how mistakes can be transformed into learning opportunities, the crucial role of resources such as EAPs and health insurance, and community and social networks. We delve into the creation of resilient organizations post-trauma, employing emotional intelligence and compassion. Join us for these insights into emotional intelligence, resilience, and the path to personal and professional growth.

Jen Shirkani is a nationally recognized expert on emotional intelligence and a featured speaker at national and state conferences, universities, government agencies, and at business organizations around the world. She is the author of Ego vs EQ and Choose Resilience, guides for leveraging the power of emotional intelligence.
