Leadership isn't just about strategy and communication; it is about creating relationships where people feel safe enough to contribute, collaborate, and perform at their best. Yet many leaders have never been taught how emotions and attachment shape trust, conflict, engagement, and team performance.
In this session, organizational psychologist Dr. Lola Gershfeld, author of Emotional Connection and creator of the Emotional Connection (EmC) Process, Jaime Goff, author of The Secure Leader, and Attachment-Informed Leadership educator and National Speaker Aric Bostick combine their expertise to explore how attachment science transforms the way leaders build emotionally connected teams.
Through thought-provoking discussion, experiential activities, and secure attachment leadership practices, participants will discover how emotions drive workplace interactions, how attachment patterns influence team dynamics, and how leaders can intentionally create environments of emotional safety, resilience, and connection.
You will leave with a new lens for understanding workplace relationships—and practical tools you can immediately apply to strengthen trust, improve collaboration, and lead high-performing teams.
