Hosted by Disability Lead
Emotional intelligence (EI) is widely considered a critical skill, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood concepts in professional development. In this deeply reflective session, Dr. Mary “MJ” McConner will share her personal journey as a neurodivergent leader who has navigated various senior leadership roles.
She will challenge the myth that EI means “reading people perfectly.” Instead, she will frame it as a powerful practice of understanding yourself, mastering emotional regulation, and consciously building inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.
