Cultivating emotional intelligence and mindfulness in high-pressure communication
Zifei Fay Chen (2025, September 23). “Cultivating emotional intelligence and mindfulness in high-pressure communication.” [Invited guest host]. PublicRelay Virtual Roundtable.
Description: Communication leaders navigate relentless news cycles, constant connectivity, and the lingering effects of post-COVID disengagement. In this climate, emotional intelligence (EI) and mindfulness have become strategic imperatives rather than 'soft skills'. These capabilities not only strengthen resilience and clarity under pressure but also encourage a more engaged workplace culture. Hosted by Fay Zifei Chen, Associate Professor of Public Relations at Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Georgia this upcoming roundtable invites senior communicators to explore practical ways to weave EI and mindfulness into their daily work, from navigating organizational crises to leading teams through change and engaging diverse stakeholders.
