The Rotary Club of Nairobi Magharibi hosted a transformative evening of learning this week, highlighted by a powerful presentation from renowned emotional intelligence expert, Dr. Ekrah. The event, held at a packed venue filled with Rotarians and guests, offered a deep dive into Emotional Intelligence (EI), its critical role in leadership, and its impact on personal growth and community development.
Dr. Ekrah, a respected thought leader in emotional and social development, captivated her audience with a compelling session that unpacked the core pillars of Emotional Intelligence—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Her talk went beyond theory, delivering practical insights for navigating both personal and professional spaces with grace, empathy, and effectiveness.
“Emotional Intelligence sustains us in leadership and public life,” Dr. Ekrah stated as she outlined the importance of self-regulation and emotional resilience. She emphasized that mastering one’s emotions—particularly in moments of stress or conflict—can significantly enhance leadership effectiveness and deepen interpersonal connections. “Anybody can become angry—that is easy,” she quoted. “But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way—that is not easy. When you master that, you step into the league of Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey, or Barack Obama.”
Among the many inspired attendees was celebrated networker and Rotary member Sarah Karingi, who praised the session as a timely and empowering contribution to the club’s mission. “It was an honor to learn from such a brilliant mind,” Karingi said. “Dr. Ekrah’s message will undoubtedly reshape how we lead, connect, and grow as individuals and as a community.”
The session emphasized the role of intrinsic motivation, empathy, and emotional discipline in achieving not just personal mastery, but also collective harmony. Dr. Ekrah’s ability to connect theory with real-life application sparked thoughtful dialogue and reflection long after the formal talk ended.
The evening reaffirmed the Rotary Club of Nairobi Magharibi’s commitment to nurturing leadership, emotional maturity, and community cohesion among its members. Dr. Ekrah’s presentation, filled with wisdom and practical tools, left a lasting impression—empowering those in attendance to embrace Emotional Intelligence as a cornerstone of impactful leadership and purposeful living.
