At the TSNN News Desk during Connect Marketplace, Danica Tormohlen, VP of Content for Trade Show News Network, spoke with Janice Cardinale, founder of Event Minds Matter and a member of TSNN’s inaugural Event Industry 50 Over 50 class.
Cardinale discusses:
• What psychological safety looks like in the workplace
• Why emotional intelligence is essential for effective leadership
• The responsibility leaders have to teach, coach and mentor
• How better communication can help event professionals navigate workplace challenges
• Why younger professionals need meaningful support—not lip service
• The decline of event management education programs
• Her plans for a new online curriculum developed with two PhDs
• The first training module focused on recognizing and responding to workplace problems
Cardinale also reflects on her 50 Over 50 recognition and her commitment to leaving the events industry better than she found it by supporting its next generation of professionals.
