CEO Joanna Pineda Speaking at Women’s Executive Forum on Nunchi, Briefing, and Managing Up
Matrix Group CEO Joanna Pineda is looking forward to presenting this session at Association Forum’s “Women’s Executive Forum” on Friday, March 13th, at 3:20 PM Eastern at the Convene Willis Tower in Chicago.
Nunchi, Briefing, and Managing Up: The Art of Being Exceptionally Aware and Effective at Work
Do you ever wonder how some people can walk into a room and instantly know when to speak up, when to hold back, and how to get things done, no matter who’s in the room? That’s nunchi, a Korean concept that combines awareness, intuition, and emotional intelligence into a powerful leadership skill.
In this session, learn practical ways to pick up on what really matters, adapt your approach in the moment, and build stronger connections with the people who shape your success. We’ll dig into how to read your boss’s mood, when to press forward with an idea, and how to make sure both you and your organization shine. You’ll leave with sharper instincts, a stronger sense of presence, and strategies you can use right away to grow your influence and advance your leadership journey.
We hope to see you in Chicago!
