In today’s shifting landscape—whether your organization is growing fast, facing uncertainty, or navigating constant change—leaders are being asked to do more with less clarity and more pressure. They’re trained to adapt, respond, and deliver.
But what often gets overlooked is the one skill that makes all of that possible: relationship-building.
When stress rises, connection drops. Leaders isolate. Silos form. And decisions are made in a vacuum. This session reframes relationship-building not as a “nice-to-have,” but as a crucial leadership skill—essential for collaboration, influence, innovation, and trust.
We’ll explore the neuroscience of the social brain, the impact of pressure on connection, and why organizations—from founders to first-time managers—need to prioritize relationships as a strategic advantage.
In this engaging session, we’ll also open the floor for shared insights and conversation around how L&D professionals are addressing this overlooked skill—and where opportunities may still be hiding.
