CIO Circle Lunch: The Emotional Intelligence Advantage: Transitioning through Change
Amy Jacobson,
Emotional Intelligence Specialist, Amy Jacobson Pty Ltd
Change is not a new concept or challenge, it’s been here forever, yet the size of the change we are experiencing is growing at a rate that our mind is struggling to comprehend.
As leaders, we can get caught up in the process selling the end result of change and miss the natural progress and pushback that our minds and those of our teams go through as we process the loss of the ‘old way’ and the way that has been embedded in our neural pathways.
It doesn’t matter how high the ‘win’ or value is, how exciting the future way looks or how strong the ‘why’ is behind the change, we must support the transition in our minds through emotional intelligence before the shiny new toy will be accepted.
The CIO lunch which starts with a plated lunch, service will begin at 12.40. Please [click here](https://emtevp.gcom.cloud/events/ps33/assets/14069984_14069984.pdf) to see the menu, if you have any dietary requirements, please let the team know when you arrive.
Our speaker will present from 13.25pm.
This session is not available for replay. If you have any dietary requirements, please update your registration profile or contact GlobalConferences@gartner.com so we can accommodate your request. ... Show More Show Less
