MY TALKS
Emotional Intelligence: An Essential Leadership Skill that Drives Retention of High-Potential Talent
Leadership, Professional Development



Emotional Intelligence: An essential leadership skill for talent retention.
Organisations have invested heavily in Employer Value Proposition (EVP) over the past few years, enhancing compensation, benefits, learning ecosystems, and workplace flexibility. Yet voluntary attrition, especially among high-potential and high-performing talent, continues to rise. Exit interviews often cite a familiar reason: “better opportunity.” But recent post-COVID research reveals a deeper truth: employees are not primarily leaving for pay or perks; they are leaving because their lived experience at work does not align with the EVP promise.
Data from the Society for Human Resource Management (2024) shows that toxic work environments, poor leadership, and unsatisfactory manager relationships significantly outweigh salary as reasons for voluntary exits. At the same time, Gallup estimates that replacing leaders can cost organisations up to 200% of annual salary, with nearly half of all resignations deemed preventable. The financial and cultural cost of this misalignment is profound.
Compounding this challenge is what researchers now call an “Emotional Recession.” A 2025 longitudinal study published in Frontiers in Psychology demonstrates a consistent global decline in emotional intelligence (EQ) since 2019, weakening wellbeing, collaboration, resilience, and engagement. In emotionally depleted environments, disengagement becomes the silent precursor to attrition.
This talk argues that emotionally intelligent leadership is the missing delivery mechanism between EVP intent and employee experience. Emotional intelligence is not a soft or intangible concept; it is a measurable, developable leadership capability grounded in neuroscience and behavioural science. Leaders who consistently demonstrate self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and relational skill create trust, psychological safety, and commitment, the true drivers of retention.
Leading with Power and Authenticity: The Role of Emotional Intelligence
Leadership, Soft Skills, Diversity and Inclusion, Women in Tech



In today’s corporate world, many women find themselves navigating a complex paradox - while they are expected to lead with confidence, yet judged harshly for the very behaviours leadership demands. Assertiveness can be misread, ambition misunderstood, and authenticity quietly penalised. This session explores that invisible tension and the unspoken rules that shape how women are perceived in positions of power.
Leading with Power and Authenticity invites participants to reflect on how leadership presence is formed, challenged, and often constrained in male-dominated environments. Through relatable insights and real-world observations, this session reframes emotional intelligence not as a “soft skill,” but as a strategic advantage that enables women to influence, inspire, and lead without compromising who they are.
Designed for women who aspire to senior leadership, this talk offers a fresh perspective on navigating bias, strengthening presence, and leading with clarity and conviction. It’s an invitation to move beyond adaptation and step fully into leadership that is both powerful and authentically your own.
