PAST EVENT: TECH301: Managing Your Digital Emotions – Aug 17

Please join us on August 17th from 5:30 – 7:00 pm at the Innovation Connector, 1208 W. White River Blvd for this free neighborhood association development opportunity.

Modern work and life requires effective digital communication. The digital world, however, carries its own set of rules, practices, and etiquette. Join us for this session as we briefly explore the concept of emotional intelligence, and then examine how to apply those concepts to your digital interactions. This session is ideal for neighborhood association members who are looking for more effective, healthy, and emotionally satisfying interactions in the digital world. Basic knowledge of e-mail, social media platforms, and texting will be required for this session.

This session will be co-hosted by Aimee Fant, MAP Neighborhoods Coordinator and David Neidert, Author and Public Speaker. (http://davidlneidert.com/)

Registration required.

*This event is made possible through the financial support of the Vectren Foundation.
