Emotional Intelligence: Your Competitive Advantage in the AI Era

Rich Hua

Former Chief EQ Evangelist at Amazon

Emotional intelligence will differentiate you in the AI era

AI is fundamentally changing the nature of work. Technical skills matter, but they are not enough. The professionals who stand out today are those who can adapt quickly, think clearly under pressure, lead with inspiration, and turn uncertainty into action.

In this workshop, you will build the EPIQ (EQ + IQ) skills that matter most in the AI era:

• Adaptability

• Antifragility

• High agency

• Inspirational leadership

You will apply these skills to real Moments That Matter (MTM) at work, practice with live scenarios, and create a practical playbook with scripts and tools you can use immediately.

This is not a theory-heavy session. It is hands-on, practical, and built for senior ICs and people managers who want to differentiate themselves and their teams in the AI era.

    • Rich's EQ training was transformational for me both personally and professionally. Before his EQ course, I sensed there was something beyond IQ that drove success—what some called politics, luck, or smart working—but I couldn't articulate it. Rich gave me the framework to understand these as human and emotional intelligence skills. He didn't just teach EQ—he set me on a path of transformation that will be one of the biggest personal maneuvers of my life.
