AdVAncing: Emotional Intelligence
On this episode, Amy Parker, the Department of Veterans Affairs Chief Learning Officer, is joined by Ms. Megan Turner, the Director of Professional Growth at the Veterans Affairs Acquisition Academy (VAAA) to talk about how developing skills like systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and problem solving can help you strengthen relationships and achieve positive outcomes at work and at home. Ms. Turner highlights her own commitment as a leader to using these skills to support employee development in a way that takes into account the “whole person”.
Ms. Parker and Ms. Turner also talk about how VAAA adapted to the changes of a virtual work environment and get a sneak peak of adaptive learning – a revolutionary technology that uses artificial intelligence to make virtual training easier, faster, and more interesting. VAAA is a pioneer in the future of e-learning, piloting the first adaptive learning course in the federal government.
