Jennifer Edwards brings two decades of behavioral neuroscience and Fortune 100 leadership experience to Seattle audiences. Past Seattle-region work includes Microsoft.
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.
Seattle's tech, healthcare, aerospace, and logistics leadership audiences operate across time zones, cultures, and functions — environments where emotional intelligence is the infrastructure of cross-functional trust. Jennifer's Microsoft work and broader Pacific Northwest engagements give her keynote credibility across this spread, and her TEDx "Elevate Your EQ" talk gives Seattle event planners a preview asset that often closes the deal.
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.
"Jennifer didn't just inspire our audience — she transformed how they think about communication. The standing ovation was just the beginning."
