✽ Aaron Kershaw of Building Blocs Literacy, LLC will speak about Emotional Intelligence at Work: Better People. Better Decisions. Better Business ✽

What happens when a customer becomes difficult, an employee feels disrespected, or a manager's feedback turns into a workplace conflict? The difference between escalating a situation and resolving it often comes down to emotional intelligence.

Join Aaron B. Kershaw, Founder and CEO of BuildingBlocs Publishing, for an engaging and practical conversation about how emotional intelligence (EQ) can help business owners, managers, and employees communicate more effectively, navigate conflict, and build stronger workplace relationships.

Aaron will share how BuildingBlocs Publishing transforms books into structured educational curricula, delivered through BuildingBlocs Academy, with learning opportunities in emotional intelligence, leadership, financial literacy, and personal development.
