Dare to Care with Sylvia Baffour

Emotional Intelligence in the workplace is often seen as a skill set reserved for leaders.

The big questions that standout are:

“How can leaders better understand and manage their own emotions?”
“What strategies can improve empathy and interpersonal relationships?”
“How does emotional intelligence drive team performance and resilience?”

Yet, the true power of emotional intelligence is realized when it permeates every level of your organization. It begins with each individual employee, shaping the culture and dynamics of the workplace from within.
