Jason Joyce, Assistant Director of Student Life, will present “[Insert Emoji of Choice Here]: Teaching Emotional Intelligence as a Leadership Tool.” The interactive session will teach attendees new ways to explain and apply emotional intelligence to their leaders, preparing them to practice EQ-healthy habits so that they can excel in group situations.
