What sets you apart in your career? Many workplaces are increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence (AI), yet we truly differentiate ourselves when we balance technical skills with those associated with cultural and emotional intelligence. The people we most admire typically connect with others and succeed because they embody human-centric skills that also elevate their influence and impact.
Join our April 24th webinar to explore the trio of cultural, emotional and artificial intelligence, and how they represent opportunities to amplify your value. You’ll gain GenAI insights as we explore how other assistants are using such resources in 2025. Register today, and IMA Training Partner Shelagh Donnelly will also draw on her extensive experience to help you elevate emotional and cultural intelligence skills that can help you thrive.
