An ESC Webinar Presented
Thursday, October 22, 2020 | 10 – 11 a.m. EST
“It is very important to understand that emotional intelligence is not the opposite of intelligence, it is not the triumph of heart over head – it is the unique intersection of both.” –David Caruso, Ph.D., Management Psychologist & Author
