About CSI
Since 2012, CSI has promoted the value of socially intelligent workplace cultures in the STEM (science, tech, engineering, math) fields, offering realistic, actionable guidance for leaders.
We believe people are the biggest asset to an organization. We also believe it’s how people conduct themselves with each other that creates a dynamite workplace culture, attracting the best and the brightest.
Social intelligence separates the average from the best organizations. Learn how.
Bringing clarity on Social Intelligence to your organization
Social intelligence is the ability to navigate social situations with awareness, empathy, and adaptability. It’s about understanding people, building strong relationships, and fostering positive interactions—whether in the workplace or everyday life.
We take a business-first perspective, empowering our clients to bring their authentic values to life for a better workplace and stronger bottom line.
Inclusive leadership skills solidify trust with your teams, bringing about the limitless potential of true collaboration and innovative thinking. Social Intelligence is more than a mandate, it’s an asset to your business.
We exist to help you maximize the return on this asset, so you can outcompete, outperform and outmaneuver the competition.
