Talks designed to introduce emotional intelligence as a practical leadership capability to technical and leadership audiences.
Designed for mixed technical and leadership audiences, including:
✓ Engineers stepping into leadership responsibilities
✓ Engineering managers and technical leaders
✓ Organizations developing leadership from within
Our talks work well for conferences, internal leadership events, and keynotes where technical credibility and human insight both matter.
Signature Keynote
Most engineers are promoted for technical expertise, but leading people requires skills they were never trained in. Many unknowingly make leadership mistakes that create friction, slow decision-making, and undermine trust, ultimately costing organizations money and talent.
This talk reveals the three most common mistakes engineers make and how emotional intelligence helps leaders navigate conflict, strengthen teams, and lead with clarity under pressure.
You will learn how to:
✓ Recognize and positively influence team dynamics
✓ Handle difficult conversations without avoidance
✓ Navigate conflict without sacrificing logic
✓ Maintain leadership stability under pressure
✓ R&D
✓ Energy
✓ High Tech
✓ Telecomm
✓ Construction
✓ Manufacturing
✓ Aerospace & Defense
✓ Healthcare & Medical Tech
Follow these steps if you are interested in bringing our talks to your technical audience.

With a unique fusion of industrial engineering, emotional intelligence, and leadership development, Claudia LeBaron Islas—an engineer who understands both systems and people, equips engineers and technical leaders with emotional intelligence skills so they become leaders their teams trust and follow.
As an engineer, Claudia speaks their language and empowers them to build stronger teams, connect authentically, and command with confidence.
Claudia’s talks and workshops provide practical tools and encourage mindset shifts as she combines science, self-awareness, and compassion to help engineers grow and lead harmoniously.
For engineering organizations, the ROI of emotionally intelligent leadership shows in lower attrition, quicker conflict resolution, and better decision-making under pressure, leading to 22% higher revenue growth*.
We bring our programs to industries employing at least six engineers. Our preferred industries are manufacturing, high-tech, energy, R&D, telecomm, construction, aerospace & defense, and healthcare & medical tech. We also consider all STEM industries.
We are flexible and responsive. Our role is to reduce stress, not add to it. We’ll adapt quickly so your event stays on track.
We’d start with a deep-dive call to understand your audience, their current challenges, and the specific ‘aha’ moments you want them to have. We’ll then weave those specific themes into our talks.
Claudia is available for keynotes, workshops, and leadership development programs for engineers in technical organizations.
Booking inquiries for 2026-2027 are open now.
