Tech Talk | EQ for Engineers: The Skills that Accelerate Your Career

What happens when strong technical skills are not enough to move your career forward?

Many engineers discover that while coding and problem-solving get you in the door, communication, self-awareness, and relationship-building are what shape long-term growth and leadership opportunities. These skills are rarely taught, yet they influence how ideas are heard, how teams function, and how careers advance.

In this live Tech Talk, Nikki Maginn, Founder and CEO of Inside Out Engineering, will explore the emotional intelligence skills engineers need to thrive in real-world environments. Nikki will break down how to communicate more effectively, navigate conflict with confidence, and build trust without feeling forced or overly political. She will also share how these skills play a critical role in career advancement, team dynamics, and long-term success.
