The conversation explores how EQ shows up under pressure—from de-escalation and maintenance interactions to leasing and trauma-informed management—and why these skills matter for both resident experience and staff retention. 📅 De-Escalation: Connecting in a Crisis mmha.com/Education/Education-Calendar/ArtMID/118640/ArticleID/3717/De-Escalation-Connecting-in-a-Crisis   🎓MHA Professional Education: mmha.com/Education/Education-Calendar 🤖 Ask mihra: mmha.com/mihra 🏦 Thank you to our Founding Sponsor – Citizens State Bank: csbnet.net   mihra's poem on "emotional intelligence, connection, and the human side of housing" In a world of work orders, tours, and keys, And meetings that could’ve been emails, please, EQ shows up when you stop and breathe, Instead of replying immediately.
