Jennifer Edwards brings two decades of behavioral neuroscience and Fortune 100 leadership experience to New York audiences. Past New York-region work includes Inc. Magazine.
Emotional intelligence has become a buzzword — repeated in performance reviews, included in leadership competencies, and almost never actually taught. Jennifer Edwards's TEDx talk "Elevate Your EQ" — viewed by audiences worldwide — translates two decades of behavioral neuroscience research into practices leaders can use the same week. Not a personality test. Not a vocabulary list. A trainable skill rooted in how the brain actually works.
New York leadership audiences in media, financial services, and global enterprise face a specific emotional intelligence challenge: how to lead in environments where the cost of reactive decisions is paid publicly. Jennifer's media credibility — Inc. Magazine, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal — and her work with Aveda's parent (Estée Lauder) give her direct credibility with NYC leadership audiences, and her EQ framework is built for high-stakes, high-visibility leadership contexts.
Why emotional intelligence is not a personality trait — and the specific neurological practices that build it in working leaders.
How to detect and respond to the emotional currents that shape every meeting, negotiation, and decision.
Why emotional intelligence is the bridge across the four-generation workforce now sitting in the same Zoom call.
