Money doesn’t drive today’s employees.

So, how can you keep staff motivated and engaged?

Salary is no longer an attractive incentive. Employees want more, which is why employers are now being judged on the overall organizational outlook. DNA and culture matter more than ever. Negative workplace culture often causes low morale, higher turnover, and poor performance, plus overworked, stressed-out management.

As a Leadership and Emotional Intelligence Expert, I empower leaders to build a positive, purposeful culture where people come first.

Diversity for real

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are non-negotiable. Whether driven by ESG regulatory changes or leadership realizing their importance, diversity requirements are real. When the workforce is diverse, companies “are 35% more likely to experience greater financial returns than their respective non-diverse counterparts.” Forbes A DE&I strategy must be holistic and applied to all areas of an organization.

The role of emotional intelligence in the workplace

“Emotional intelligence (EI) involves a set of skills that help us perceive, understand, express, reason with, and manage emotions, both within ourselves and others” (Genos) Emotional intelligence isn’t just about how we keep ourselves in check to avoid negatively impacting others; it is also about our own emotions and how we deal with our feelings. A report by Capgemini found that emotional intelligence is a fundamental skill for the future. Leaders are more stressed than ever, and this can manifest in unwanted ways, including negative responses, lack of self-care, and reduced morale. Emotional intelligence cultivates different ways of thinking about ourselves and others. In this workshop, we delve into the brain’s science, emotional intelligence’s role in reducing stress, and the power of self-awareness.

Compassionate leadership

"Compassionate Leaders use their influence to positively impact themselves, others, and the planet." Often when we use words such as "love" or "heart-led" at work, people are skeptical because love isn’t seen as a relevant work emotion. However, love is critical for a compassionate leader. It is about demonstrating that you care by checking in, giving space, acknowledging contributions, and sharing your energy for everyone’s benefit. "Compassionate Leaders create safe environments where their teams are encouraged to practice self-compassion, vulnerability, and compassion for others. This approach has improved productivity, employee morale, and retention." Today’s workplace demands a new type of leadership. This face-to-face workshop raises awareness and provides hands-on methods, which can be implemented by individuals and departments.
