Future Connect: Lead with Emotional Intelligence

In today’s fast-moving finance world, technical skill is only half the story. The professionals who stand out – those who build trust, influence effectively and navigate complexity with confidence – are the ones who are emotionally intelligent.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and recognise the emotions of others.

Join us for an inspiring and practical session on the power of empathy and emotional intelligence. This event will explore how developing emotional intelligence can accelerate your early-career progression, strengthen client and colleague relationships and help you shape a meaningful, sustainable future in finance.

Our expert speaker, Gaëlle Deschamps, champions the belief that the world needs stronger role models – people who lead with authenticity, purpose and positive influence. Her mission is to help individuals become the best version of themselves by tapping into their emotional strengths, understanding their drivers and unlocking the mindset needed for personal and professional transformation.
