Today’s tech leaders must navigate complexity and accelerated change while driving innovation and guiding others through uncertainty. This course empowers leaders at all levels to enhance their emotional intelligence by developing four mindset skills crucial for excelling in challenging environments: optimism, focus, adaptability, and resilience. Through real-world simulations, case studies, and experiential exercises, you will learn to:

  • Manage your psychology and emotional reactivity during volatility, stress, and uncertainty
  • Negotiate challenging stakeholder relationships with greater ease
  • Cultivate a performance culture of innovation and creativity
  • Build long-term resilience for yourself and your team
Each student will have access to an optional confidential executive coaching session to help solidify these skills. Ideal for tech professionals seeking to lead with increased confidence and presence, this course provides powerful tools for thriving in today’s dynamic business landscape.
