She spends most of her consulting time training and coaching in the area of emotional intelligence, focusing on using EI skills to improve individuals, leaders, and organizational performance. Korrel’s training programs are always customized to the client and skill-based, such that participants leave the sessions with tools for handling the various challenges they face.
