Most people want high-performing teams. But performance starts with something simple: how you lead yourself — and how you show care for others. Organizations that prioritize emotional intelligence and human-centered leadership see 147% higher earnings per share and 21% greater profitability. Yet too many leaders skip the basics: self-awareness, trust-building, and clear communication. Heather R Younger helps leaders close that gap — transforming care into action, and intention into impact — so their teams can thrive through change, not crumble under it.
