The Compassion Advantage: How to Lead With Heart, Supercharge Resilience, and Get Results that Matter
In today's dynamic world of work, supportive cultures of care have become integral to success. Without the right balance of compassion and accountability, leaders risk losing their best people. In this impactful keynote, Dr. Andrea shares a powerful framework for navigating challenge and change with the highest levels of emotional intelligence, so we can help those we lead do the same. The result? More effective leaders, happier employees, and more cohesive, connected, and collaborative teams.
