Corina’s presentation, ‘Harnessing Emotional Intelligence to Build a Safer Workplace’, gave great insight into the five components of emotional intelligence and how we, as individuals, and as organizations, can manage these components to be more responsible and effective.  She demonstrated how we can reduce inattention, zoning out and mind-wandering and how we can improve communications and individual well-being through empathy, active caring and thought awareness, and how each of these and other emotion-based factors impact workplace safety.  I would recommend Corina to any organization wishing to explore emotional intelligence.
