EDG2604. Decoding Team Chemistry: The Love Language of Collaboration

This session delivers a fresh, energizing perspective on leadership by connecting three core pillars of professional success: Conation, Leadership, and Relationships. In this interactive and thought-provoking session, it explores how high-performing individuals and teams can leverage their natural instincts (conation), elevate their leadership presence, and build meaningful relationships, both in and out of the workplace.

Accountants and financial professionals are often tasked with more than technical expertise. They must communicate across departments, lead under pressure, and drive results in a people-centric world. This session introduces attendees to the science of conation, helping them understand how their instinctive approach to problem-solving directly impacts their leadership style, team dynamics, and personal relationships. We pair this with real-world leadership strategies and practical relationship-building tools that professionals can apply immediately in client meetings, team collaborations, and their personal lives.

Participants gain insight into how self-awareness and conative strengths can unlock better decision-making, reduce burnout, and increase workplace harmony. The session is designed to be engaging, insightful, and packed with practical takeaways—perfect for the modern finance professional who wants to lead with greater purpose and authenticity.
