Social Awareness – accurately perceiving emotions in others. Relationship Management – effectively navigating interpersonal interactions.

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven success as both an Instructional Designer and Facilitator of ILT workshops.
• Demonstrated expertise in building training around competencies, particularly communication and EQ.
• Experience developing and delivering interactive training for professional and technical audiences.
