AGENDA
EQ Connects brings together leaders from across business, education and coaching to achieve a better understanding of not just why emotional intelligence is important and how to apply EQ in the workplace, but to also be clear about the real impact that it will have, not just to their own lives, but also to the lives of those around them.

//NIGHT LIGHTS
Join us for a relaxed and informal drinks reception with some great speakers and entertainment, followed by a three course meal overlooking the river Tyne.
