WheelTug PLC What they do: WheelTug develops and manufactures electric aircraft taxiing systems. Their flagship product is an in-wheel system installed on the nose wheels of aircraft. The problem they solve: Traditional aircraft taxiing (moving on the ground between gate and runway) often requires pushback tugs or the use of the aircraft's main engines. This is inefficient, costly, and increases emissions. How it works: WheelTug's system uses electric motors powered by the plane's auxiliary power unit (APU) to enable aircraft to maneuver on the ground independently. Benefits: * Saves time during aircraft turnaround * Reduces fuel burn and emissions * Reduces noise pollution around airports * Increases potential aircraft utilization * Potentially improves safety by reducing the need for external vehicles

An engaging discussion to understand how to build emotional agility to make clear decisions, support inclusivity, enhance collaboration, and strengthen innovation. How leaders deal with their emotions in the workplace has a profound effect on individual, team, and organizational success. Therefore, leaders need emotional agility to deal with negative emotions in healthy, productive ways. Greater emotional agility allows leaders to shift negative patterns to more positive ones and to use this to communicate clearly and effectively, reduce stress, increase empathy and resilience, and reduce conflict between individuals, teams and within an organization. Multiple studies have found that our minds have the tendency to focus on negative thoughts and ‘play the same songs’ over and over again. Another study performed in 2005 by Cornell University found that 85% of things we worry about never happen. You'll learn: • Why emotional agility is essential to build a strong reputation as a leader • Discover how to build emotional agility • How to navigate complex social and emotional situations • How to build strong relationships • Inspire teams to achieve their goals Watch an engaging discussion of what a project manager must do to build emotional agility to effectively lead teams to achieve greater project outcomes.
