This was such a fun session! People who like to learn are MY PEOPLE!

🌊 Year 3 of the Blue Economy Leadership Certificate Program is underway!

We recently kicked off the first session for our third cohort on the USM Gulf Park Campus. Dr. Janea McDonald facilitated an engaging session on Employee Engagement and Emotional Intelligence, setting the stage for another year of leadership development, connection, and growth.

Throughout the Blue Economy Leadership Certificate (BELC) Program, participants will strengthen their leadership skills, build meaningful connections across industries, and explore ways to support the continued growth of the Blue Economy along the Gulf Coast and beyond.

We’re excited to see what Year 3 has in store for this outstanding group of leaders!

Did you know emotions only last 6 seconds? That means you can have several emotions in a short period, like Bert is demonstrating here. Be sure you respond in a way to keep your relationships intact.
