You can find many articles about how EQ is more important than IQ in almost every role, and many times more important in leadership roles. Why? For one thing, emotions don’t stay home just because we head to work. Understanding and managing your emotions is the only way to get the most from each day and head where you want to go in your career. Although emotional intelligence seems to come naturally to some, our brain’s plasticity means we can increase our emotional intelligence if we’re willing to work.

10:45 am - 12:00 pm	The Time is NOW to Review and Update Your Credit Policy With so much of the workforce unexpectedly having to adjust to a remote and, in many instances now, hybrid work environment resulting from COVID-19, many companies were forced to make concessions on credit limit approvals that no longer complied with their credit policy guidelines. It’s important to take a hard look at modifications to your credit policy that make sense in an ever-changing business world so the policy continues to be a document that is helpful to your credit department instead of constantly being challenged to meet credit policy requirements on credit approvals. Presented by Brett Hanft, CBA, American International Forest Products LLC
