The purpose of this podcast is to create a deeper level of awareness of the critical role emotional intelligence plays in being an exceptional leader.
We’ve all seen that the greatest athletes on the planet have invested in coaches to develop their mindset, so that when they’re competing under extreme pressure, they can tap into their best when they need it most. In the corporate world, we call this being emotionally intelligent.
So as a leader, when you’re under extreme pressure, you are able to be present and deliberately leave a positive fingerprint in every interaction.
I will be interviewing leaders and experts in the field of emotional intelligence.
In this episode I explore with Dr Jo Maddocks some of the how to tips that you can use to enhance your Self Regard. We also look at the Self Awareness and Awareness of Others scales in more detail.
Given that all change and growth comes from understanding our patterns of behaviour, I'm sure this episode will be helpful in understanding the different emotions / feelings and how they can impact on our behaviours.
