The Women in Manufacturing Illinois Chapter is proud to co-promote this empowering kick-off event hosted by our friends at Women of the VIA.
EQ in Motion is not your typical leadership workshop—it’s a real-world, hands-on introduction to emotional intelligence (EQ) in action. Whether you’re navigating high-stakes decisions, conflict, or moments of influence, your EQ determines how you show up, lead, and connect.
This session will explore how to recognize and elevate your emotional intelligence to enhance your professional presence and strengthen relationships. It's the first of a two-part series designed to give manufacturing leaders a fresh, actionable lens on leadership.
Event Highlights:
✅ Explore the core components of EQ with practical application
✅ Gain confidence in how you lead through influence and uncertainty
✅ Connect with fellow manufacturing and business leaders
✅ Walk away with clarity and tools you can use immediately
