Goal setting is one of the most powerful tools that a manager has at their disposal. Research consistently shows that individuals and teams that set goals achieve success at much higher rates than those who don’t.

The EQ Advantage
Leveraging emotional intelligence for success
When you think of an outstanding leader, what comes to mind? Someone who always keeps their cool and never lets their temper get out of control? Or maybe it’s someone you trust implicitly? Someone who listens, values your input and understands when to push you, coach you, and when to lift you up.
These are the attributes of someone with a high degree of emotional intelligence (EQ). Research shows a strong correlation between success in life and at work and a well-developed emotional intelligence muscle.
EQ is widely recognized as a key factor in professional—as well as personal—success.
Audience: Leaders that want to grow in their emotional intelligence.

Effective leadership in a digital age
Perhaps leading remotely is going smoothly for your leaders, but chances are you’ve had some bumps along the way.

However, remote team challenges can quickly derail results and create high levels of disengagement if not addressed.
Audience: Anyone managing remote teams.
