“This was my favorite professor session – Kandi explained the concepts in a clear manner, challenged us to think deeply about our values and belief systems, as well as potential bias.” – Workshop Participant
“Can never spend enough time in this area…EQ is more important today than ever” – Workshop Participant
“Impactful, very relevant to what so many of us have been experiencing. I think the element of thinking about how we come across to others has left me with a lot to consider, along with thinking about our ‘why’.” – Workshop Participant
“I can’t believe this session is coming to an end… I have learned so much and enjoyed every minute. Thank you!” – Workshop Participant
“These are incredible reminders to grow our emotional intelligence and manage stress all-around. So insightful! Thank you!” – Workshop Participant
“I truly enjoyed this session by Kandi. Resilience and EI are topics that I am very interested in and would like to learn more so I can improve myself and help my team as well. Kandi made it easy to understand and apply in my work.” – Workshop Participant
“It made me reflect on myself, regarding work, personal life and other aspects, and made me stop for a second and rethink what I’m doing, and how I can manage myself to gain better control of my actions.” – Workshop Participant
“The best part of this was taking time to self-reflect on what is important to us and what motivates us. I think overall this was a good reminder about the importance of taking time to invest in our own self-awareness, especially to be more aware of how we might react under stress. I really appreciated the conversation around preventing burnout (unfortunately I think I am closer to this than I’d like to admit, but having the awareness and trying to use some of the methods to prevent burnout will help.)” – Workshop Participant
