Rúna -- the trailblazing serial entrepreneur from Iceland -- was the founder and CEO of Klassik Heildverslun and the co-founder of Sigurboginn in Reykjavik. She relocated to America -- Santa Fe, New Mexico -- after selling her businesses and spent the next decade immersing herself in mentorship and training in various leadership disciplines such as wisdom traditions, energy cultivating practices, and direct teachings from Nature.

She believes that if leaders live and lead from higher purpose and dynamic fulfillment they will create a meaningful legacy and make a huge positive impact on the transition and paradigm shift humanity faces today through the power of business.

Over the course of her career, Rúna has mentored and coached hundreds of leaders and uplifted and inspired thousands of people around the world through her speaking, facilitation, and writing, and through the social-impact platforms she co-founded -- The Conscious Leader Network, Conscious Capitalism LA Chapter, and the TOGETHER!

Humanity is currently going through an immense shake-up and significant transformation. Here’s the truth: Our old world is outgrowing itself, and evolution is forcing us to wake up!

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: THE INDISPENSABLE LEADERSHIP SKILL OF THE 21st CENTURY

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is considered one of the most critical and too often undervalued skills in modern-day leadership. It embodies skills that enable you to manage your own emotions and to handle interactions with others harmoniously. It empowers basic communication, problem-solving and conflict resolution, decision-making, relationship-management, collaboration, and social interactions, as well as the ability to inspire others. It expands your ability to use more of the inner intelligences available for positive human interactions, both personally and organizationally.

YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEARN:
✓ Why the predominant focus on IQ alone will not solve your existing problems
✓ The What, How, and Why of Emotional Intelligence
✓ How EQ will re-engage your people
✓ What the new leadership mindset looks like in the 21st century
✓ Why EQ is not a luxury item but a necessity for any modern company
✓ How Emotional Intelligence contributes to both personal and professional success

THE ENTREPRENEUR'S "SUCCESS-MINDSET"

YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LEARN:
✓ The hidden sides of entrepreneurship

AMPLIFY YOUR LEADERSHIP PRESENCE

No doubt, stress and overwhelm are not foreign to you -- getting hot-headed from too much thinking, twirling around in anxiety and negative emotions, or creating conflict and trouble by acting in haste without thinking things through.

  • "I attended one of Runa's presentations called "Evolve Your Relationship to Power — TRUE Power", held in Culver City, California. It was a truly inspiring experience for me. During the presentation, Runa challenged all of us to self reflect on our own relationship with "power." I left the presentation feeling awaken and motivated. Most importantly, because of this uplifting experience, I was able to learn new things about myself and redirect my energy into the right places." — Viktoriya Mincheva, Founder of Green Activities LLC, Los Angeles, California, USA

Her vast experience, thirst for learning and for service stand out as fundamental to her work and her life. Inseparable in fact. It was clear to me that she had much to offer, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from her, both in the most obvious ways, and in the ways that only intuition and the true capacity for rich relationship can bring. That is True Power.
