JEFF MUNN, JD, ACC PRESENTS: “The InnerWork of Leadership” Whether you are starting a business or leading a team at a big company, your journey as a leader goes through very predictable stages.

In this month's RFL Live: Lunch & Learn,  Andrea Palm-Porter will be leading us into exploring the part of our intelligence that has nothing to do with technical knowledge and book-smarts. We will look at emotional intelligence (EQ) – how it works and why it works. It is a much stronger indicator of success in work and relationships than cognitive intelligence (IQ), and it can be learned! We will explore the competencies associated with EQ and how they apply to leadership.

KAREN BARBEE, YOUTH ZONE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COORDINATOR, PRESENTS: "RESTORATIVE PRACTICES THAT CREATE STRENGTH WITH ONESELF & RELATIONSHIPS" More and more, conflict is an ever-present part of our days. We see and hear about it on the news, we read about it in the papers, we entertain ourselves with conflict-ridden reality shows, and we have it in our own lives.

What does it take to BE an effective leader? Fortunately, effective leaders are not born, they are made. Being a leader does not come from reading a book and it is not dependent on position or title. There are many people who are in leadership positions or positions of authority or who have decision rights, who are not BEING leaders.

This challenge is then magnified during the holidays when stress levels reach an all-time high due to visits [...]
