Moving from expert to leader can be tough, especially when your expertise is all about data-driven decision making.

Please join us in this session with Richard Galbraith and Clive Elwood. They will cover the biology of emotions and the importance of building emotional intelligence for leaders.

Our panellists will share their experiences as technical experts, leaders, and coaching practitioners. They will explore ways in which we can all improve this aspect of our leadership.
