Jenny Woo, PhD, MBA

“Jenny Woo has spoken on Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health awareness for two of our ERG-led sessions. Both times, she brought knowledge, humor, and experience to the conversation. Whether she is sharing generational, gender, or ethnic disparities in the field she reminds us that we are all human and how we can support ourselves and each other. I highly recommend Jenny!”

“Dr. Jenny Woo doesn't just deliver content; she crafts high-quality, high-impact learning experiences that redefine how we understand and utilize emotional intelligence. Having previously experienced one of her workshops at the EAOP Leadership Development Institute, I knew our college advisers were in for a real treat. We invited Dr. Woo to lead a workshop for our 50+ Destination College Advising Corps fellows during their winter training. More specifically, we wanted them to learn how soft skills and a better understanding of emotional intelligence aligned with our program mission and their daily responsibilities. Suffice it to say, she not only met our advisers where they were in their respective emotional intelligence journeys but also took them deeper into the subject matter, sparking questions and additional inquiries throughout and after the session. Dr. Woo's workshops are distinguished by her ability to blend theoretical knowledge with practical application seamlessly. One memorable, attention-grabbing moment during her workshop was when she showed the top skills most in demand by employers today and then pulled up the program standards for our advisers for a side-by-side comparison. The overlap of soft skills most utilized by our advisers and those identified as high in demand was uncanny and was a pleasant surprise for many of our advisers. Her workshop wasn't just informative but a catalyst for professional growth, leaving advisers equipped with invaluable strategies to guide students effectively and reframe their perspectives on personal and professional development within their fellowship. As another treat for our advisers, our program directors gifted everyone in attendance with Dr. Woo's Mind Brain Emotion card sets–Relationship Skills set and Coping Skills set. Dr. Woo has an infectious passion for fostering inclusivity and bringing together people and resources. Workshop aside, I had the opportunity to engage in some casual conversation with Dr. Woo, and it was clear that her work and passion for emotional intelligence were not simply in the dissemination of knowledge but also in the opportunity to foster meaningful connections with those she meets and works with. From those connections, she can impart and help those around her better understand the emotional nuances that underpin effective engagement with people and within themselves. Her dynamic presentation style creates an engaging learning environment, making her an exceptional educator and a joy to collaborate with. Whether it be to discuss strategies for stress management, interview skills, or emotional intelligence training, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone more suitable for the task than Dr. Jenny Woo. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to share space with her, and I look forward to future collaborations.”
