PEO Oakville Chapter: Spring Ceremony
Keynote to congratulate and inspire the next generation of Professional Engineers (P.Eng)
Technical brilliance is the foundation, but emotional intelligence is the differentiator. I share a practical approach to building EQ within technical teams, turning complex "people problems" into clear opportunities for connection and performance.
Influence doesn't require a specific title. It begins with curiosity. I speak on how shifting from knowing to inquiring allows professionals at any level to break down silos, build trust, and lead cross-functional change.
Leadership is not a destination on an org chart; it is a choice made daily. This talk explores how to find an authentic leadership style that isn't dependent on authority, but rooted in integrity and the way you show up for others.
Bringing a grounded, human perspective to technical leadership.
