Wake up Minnesota with Victoria McWane-Creek on emotional intelligence

(Air date: March 30, 2023)

How do you lead authentically? Do you allow yourself and those around you to show up as their true self? Listen to an engaging and open conversation with Victoria McWane-Creek as she shares insight into her leadership journey as a Black Indigenous Person of Color (BIPOC) leader living in a rural community.

In this episode of Vital Connections On Air, Victoria talks about topics such as emotional intelligence, implicit bias for and against others, hospitable and welcoming communities, and equity-minded leadership. She also gives advice to emerging leaders.

“The simple act of generosity and grace that lend themself to being a welcoming and hospitable place. I think about the word hospitality and I think about the word hostility. They have the same root word: host. You can be hospitable or you can be hostile. And you are still hosting.” — Ms. Victoria McWane-Creek
