The Untapped Power of Emotions at Work

The Untapped Power of Emotions at Work: Insights from New Leadership Research

9:00 am PT/12:00 pm ET
October 23, 2025

Emotions aren’t left at the office door — they shape decisions, relationships, and performance every day. Yet many workplaces still treat emotions as “off-limits,” creating hidden costs for both employees and leaders.

In this session, TalentSmartEQ will share findings from our new research study on leadership and emotions at work. The study explores:

  • Which emotions show up most at work, and which ones people feel forced to hide.
  • How leaders’ emotional intelligence affects employee engagement, trust, and collaboration.
  • The real costs of managing emotions at work.
  • Generational and demographic differences in how people experience, express, and manage emotions.
  • The future of EQ in the age of AI — what skills people believe will matter most as technology reshapes work.

You’ll come away with a research-backed understanding of how emotions drive workplace outcomes, plus practical insights for leading with emotional intelligence in today’s rapidly changing workplace.

How Recognition Fuels Retention and Culture

Seen, Heard, Valued: How Recognition Fuels Retention and Culture

9:00 am PT/12:00 pm ET
November 20, 2025

Employees want more than a paycheck—they want to feel that their contributions matter. Recognition is one of the most powerful drivers of morale, engagement, and retention, but leaders often struggle with making it authentic, consistent, and scalable.

In this interactive panel, Seen, Heard, Valued: Why Recognition Drives Retention and Culture, we’ll explore how companies of all sizes can create cultures of gratitude and appreciation that make employees feel truly valued.

You’ll hear from three leaders representing a range of industries and perspectives:

  • Odette Lindheim, Head of People at Nourish, will share how the company has built recognition and values into its culture from day one—fostering belonging, engagement, and performance.
  • Linda Quijano, Organizational and Leadership Development Manager at State Fund, will discuss how the organization leverages robust recognition programs to keep its diverse workforce motivated, connected, and engaged.
  • Maggie Sass, Ph.D., EVP of Content, Research, and Professional Services at TalentSmartEQ, will provide insights on the emotional intelligence behind meaningful recognition, sharing how leaders can ensure employees feel seen, valued, and appreciated.

Whether you lead a small team or manage recognition programs across thousands of employees, you’ll leave with actionable strategies to recognize your people in ways that drive commitment and retention.
