In a world where rapid change is the norm, emotional intelligence (EQ) is a critical differentiator for resilient, effective leadership. This session goes beyond traditional leadership concepts by exploring EQ as a transformative tool for human connection and growth.

Participants will dive into The Unburdened Journey Framework, a three-step process that empowers leaders to Recognize, Reframe, and Release their internal and external obstacles. This dynamic approach fosters an environment where leaders feel equipped to face challenges with empathy and resilience, benefiting their personal lives and professional teams.

In this interactive session, Byron Hopkins—retired Marine, certified EQ practitioner, and motivational speaker—blends personal anecdotes with powerful insights. Byron’s approach is educational and experiential, leaving attendees with actionable techniques to enhance their leadership, motivate their teams, and build a culture of trust and emotional agility.
