Today fast-paced world requires bold and courageous leaders who possess the rare combination of audacity and emotional intelligence. Audacity is the willingness to take bold risks, but if it’s not coupled with situational awareness and empathy, those risks can create far more problems than they solve. 
 
This session shares the science of best practices in executive leadership. We’ll explore the latest research on how to pair audacity with emotional intelligence to achieve the greatest results. We’ll also explore why authentic courage requires vulnerability, and how psychological safety is the cornerstone of high-performing organizations.
 
Neuroscience has revealed some interesting patterns. Did you know that power impacts the brain, making people more impulsive and less concerned with how their actions impact others? It also makes leaders more likely to project their own beliefs and feelings onto others, leading them to perceive signs of agreement that are not there. Successful executives intentionally counterbalance this biological tendency to achieve ongoing success.

Leave this session with practical tools and strategies you can implement immediately as well as use to uplevel the skills of your entire leadership team.

In this interactive session, you will:

• Discover the brain science behind audacity, courage, power, and emotional intelligence
• Explore how power changes the brain and ways to counterbalance its damaging effects
• Leave with new strategies to lead with empathetic power and uplevel the skills of the leadership team
