The main focus of the webinar would be to ensure engineers understand the need to/how to grow from being individually focused technical experts to people and relationship focused collaborators if they are to progress in their careers. Differentiating themselves as leaders as they progress in their careers will require less of an analytical/engineering mindset and more of a focus on the soft skills of leadership and the application of basic brain science. I would present research from related case studies involving engineers as well as my own anecdotal experiences as a coach working with engineers and provide tools the participants can use to grow their own self awareness and self management skills to improve their relationships and increase their chances for career success.
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to assess their leadership agility level and why it matters to their success.
- Understand the basic neuroscience of leadership and change.
- Learn how emotional intelligence and neuroscience intersect to increase leadership agility, drive connection with others, and improve team performance.
- Eliminate the gap between their leadership intentions and how they impact the emotions and behavior of others.
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (Eastern)
