Recap of Emotional Intelligence with Nikki Maginn

Emotional Intelligence with Nikki Maginn

At KEC, the Maker City recently hosted a session on Emotional Intelligence led by Nikki Maginn, nuclear engineer and founder of InsideOut Engineering.

In this session, Nikki explored how emotional intelligence supports creative work, focusing on self-awareness, communication, and how makers can better navigate feedback and the natural highs and lows of building something personal. The conversation centered on practical ways to communicate your vision, strengthen relationships, and stay grounded through the creative process.

Nikki was generous enough to share her slides with our community. You can explore them below:
