Challenging conversations are inevitable in any team, but how we approach them can make the difference between conflict and connection. Emotionally Intelligent Communication (EQ-Comms) offers a powerful framework rooted in neuroscience to help teams foster trust, improve collaboration, and transform difficult discussions into productive outcomes. In this workshop, participants will learn how to navigate high-stakes conversations with confidence, regulate emotional responses, and build psychological safety within their teams. Through interactive exercises and real-world applications, attendees will practice active listening, reframing conflict, and using EQ-Comms strategies to strengthen relationships. By the end of the session, teams will walk away with practical tools to engage in open, constructive dialogue and create a workplace culture where every voice is heard and valued.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the core principles of Emotionally Intelligent Communication (EQ-Comms) and their role in fostering trust, collaboration, and psychological safety in teams.
• Apply strategies for regulating emotional responses during high-stakes or conflict-based conversations to promote constructive outcomes.
• Demonstrate active listening, reframing, and perspective-taking skills through structured practice and interactive exercises.
