Emotional intelligence is still relatively new for many of us, and the way Sarah approached it from a fresh angle generated a lot of interest. The audience asked if we could have more of these kinds of sessions, which shows how much it resonated. The insights on emotional equity and how it plays out across genders hit home for a lot of people.

Sarah came across as so approachable and relatable, which added to the session’s impact. I especially appreciated the cultural nuances she highlighted, contrasting Asian and Western approaches; that connected with our audience and added even more value. This session is definitely something I’d recommend within the industry and to others working in women and allies networks
