With further improvements and more accessible needs, Assistive technology marks the beginning of an inclusive era for everyone.

Do you think life throws a lot at all of us? And do you believe that one might struggle despite being the smartest one in the room? It is an undeniable fact that life is uncertain, prone to change, and disruptive in its own ways. At times like these emotional management is the only key to survival and thriving. Successful leaders have attributed Emotional Quotient (EQ) as a key leadership trait as compared to Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
If you are ready to master emotional management and boost your EQ for career development; if you want to be a leader, then join us for a virtual session on December 4, 2022 at 6:00 pm PKT.
The event is open to people from all walks of life including students, early career professionals, and mid-level executives.
