LEADERSHIP PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

һƷ̽»¨ This Session

Across industries, professions, and leadership frameworks, emotional intelligence consistently ranks among the Top 5 skills of effective leaders. Yet, it doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult to develop.
 
Rather than focusing on the complexities of emotional intelligence, this Opening Keynote will explore how leaders can act with integrity, intentionality, and certainty to demonstrate high levels of emotional intelligence in their everyday interactions. These core behaviors drive authentic leadership and create a ripple effect that influences teams and organizations to thrive.

During this dynamic opening session, you will learn:

  • How to cultivate integrity and intentionality: Understand how acting with integrity and leading with intention influence perceptions of trustworthiness and respect, and how this shapes emotionally intelligent leadership
     
  • Ways to create certainty through clear boundaries and action: Learn practical strategies to establish clear expectations and boundaries, enabling leaders to communicate with confidence, take decisive actions, and foster accountability within their teams
     
  • Methods to enhance self-awareness for greater impact: Develop self-awareness techniques that drive authenticity, enable leaders to navigate complex situations, and respond effectively to challenges
     
  • How to build accountability: Discover how to use emotional intelligence to create accountability that sticks.
Through this session, participants will learn how to harness these principles to enhance self-awareness, communicate with clarity, and create environments of accountability and growth—leading to increased engagement, stronger relationships, and sustainable success for themselves and their organizations.
Rachel Kuhlen has nearly 20 years of experience leading, developing, and coaching global teams in Fortune 500 companies. Since 2015, she has designed, developed, and delivered training and product launches that have delivered an ROI exceeding $3B. Through her experience building and executing multiple leadership academies, keynote speaking, facilitating, and launching products, she has trained tens of thousands of people in her tenure focused on leadership and professional development to create real, actionable behavior change.
 
Recognized for her expertise in Emotional Intelligence, Kuhlen focuses primarily on how we use Emotional Intelligence as a superpower when it comes to professional development, communication, and resiliency. She has learned that weaving emotional intelligence into her keynotes and training is essential for behavior change to take place. Her years of experience has taught her that without addressing the emotional aspects, people will revert back to their habits and comfort zones. This insight has been pivotal in her approach to leadership development and speaking/training methodologies.
 
In 2020, Kuhlen took the most significant leap of faith and started her speaking, training and coaching business, Amplify Your Impact Now, LLC, where she works with leaders and teams across the country to flex their self- empowerment muscles to amplify their impact. Her work with corporations and individuals inspired her 2022 book, Living Fearlessly Ahead, to empower people to amplify their impact.  Kuhlen’s second book, Amplifying Your Impact, will be out in late 2025.
