In the fast-paced world of business development, where every interaction counts, success is built on more than just strategy and technical know-how. Whether you’re negotiating with clients, inspiring your team, or managing high-pressure situations, the ability to understand and manage emotions—both your own and others’—can make or break your outcomes.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) has emerged as a crucial skill for leaders, salespeople, and commercial teams striving to stand out in competitive markets. It’s what helps you read the room, adapt to changing dynamics, and build meaningful connections that lead to trust and loyalty. High EI isn’t just about being “emotionally aware”; it’s about leveraging that awareness to create value for your clients, foster collaboration within your team, and maintain resilience under pressure.
This masterclass delivered by Volker Ballueder is designed to equip BD professionals and founders with the tools to harness EI for tangible business results. From closing deals to leading teams with empathy, Volker will show you how to apply the principles of EI to drive growth, improve client relationships, and cultivate a positive culture that supports long-term success.
