This workshop approaches emotional intelligence through the lens of social awareness and influence. Drawing from sport psychology’s concept of scanning—the ability elite performers use to read patterns, anticipate behavior, and adapt in real time—senior leaders learn how to deeply understand their team members, recognize behavioral cues, and use this insight to influence motivation and performance. The session focuses on translating awareness into intentional leadership action.
