Leading with EQ: How HR Can Future-Proof Finance Teams

Spreadsheets don’t build leaders — people do

In today’s business world, Finance remains a critical function — but its role is quietly being redefined.

As AI and automation take over routine, number-heavy work, what’s left at the core is something less familiar to many finance professionals: leading with influence, building collaboration, and earning trust across the organization.

This shift raises an important question: How can Finance — a function long valued for precision and control — now grow the human skills that will define its future impact? And here’s where HR has a unique opportunity.

👉 Join our workshop to explore EQ-driven strategies that will help Finance evolve from technical experts into trusted leaders — resilient, collaborative, and future-ready.

What leaders are saying

Hoang Viet Dung

The New Leaders course holds immense value because leaders in higher positions face increased demands for emotional intelligence skills. Being conscious of this fact is essential for optimal performance.

I really enjoyed the positive energy and meaningful connections at The New Leaders' workshop. I gained a lot of knowledge and advice about leadership and EQ communication skills from the speakers' insights and the discussions and role-playing activities with fellow attendees.

Ngan has really helped me to be a better leader. She is a great listener and draws upon a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer insightful, practical advice to guide me in facing problems and inspiring my team to perform and develop. After you have been in leading position for a while, it is easy to get complacent in the way you do things. Ngan has really helped me to gain new perspectives and continue improving in my career.
