Session
Emotional Intelligence for Engineers - The Skills No One Taught Us
As engineers, we’re taught that technical ability is the most important thing. Then we enter the real world and realize it’s not enough.
You learn the code, the systems, the tools... but no one teaches you how to communicate your ideas to non-engineers. No one teaches you how to navigate conflict, build influence, or advocate for your work in a room full of decision-makers.
In this session, we’ll unpack:
The core foundations of emotional intelligence (EQ) that every engineer needs
Why EQ is the #1 skill that unlocks career growth, visibility, and leadership potential
Tactical ways to connect, communicate, and collaborate across functions — without changing who you are
If you’ve ever felt like your ideas get lost in translation or that your career isn’t progressing as fast as your skills, this session will shift that.
This isn’t soft skills fluff. It’s the missing system that helps engineers lead.
