What Are We Teaching Boys? The Community Standard Starts With Us.
AI + EQ: Building Courageous, Accountable Communities. This is a working session, not just a talk. We'll explore the research, take a private self-assessment (no scores shared), experience a live app demonstration, and examine how AI and emotional intelligence can support meaningful solutions. Then we'll turn toward our own build ideas. Using the IAMAR process, we'll slow down, examine the problem worth solving, and imagine what a thoughtful solution could become.
