I teach teams the essential strategies of emotional intelligence to create more collaborative environments.
​
What is emotional intelligence? It helps you skillfully leverage emotions and mental aptitude to facilitate more harmonious environments. You will gain the necessary tools to make better decisions, handle conflict assertively and constructively and better handle work/life pressures.
​
Together, we can unlock your powers of emotional intelligence to improve interpersonal relationships and to communicate effectively, resulting in overall professional and personal growth and leadership.
About Opal
After robust careers in advertising and real estate, I accepted the challenge of going back to school at Virginia Commonwealth University to earn my Master of Social Work degree and become a licensed clinical social worker.
​
I finally figured out what I wanted to do when I grew up. I am truly now living my best life, and I can help you do the same.
​
I’m a speaker and a therapist. My work centers around creating safe spaces for growth, in professional and personal settings, often using the components of emotional intelligence.
​
Working with you, I lay the groundwork to help leaders to motivate others, using both logical and emotional factors that lead to more well-rounded and thoughtful decision making.
​
Colleagues tell me I exude energy in conversation and on stage. I not only teach the tools of emotional intelligence – I live by its principles.
​
In my spare time, I knit, and am often training for 5k races. I look forward to connecting and being a part of your next event so that, together, we can provide valuable tools to your audience.
