Dr. Richard Boyatzis, joins Dr. Bradley Block to unpack why even accomplished physicians often lose their sense of meaning mid-career. Drawing from his Intentional Change Theory, Dr. Boyatzis explains that fulfillment dips every 7–10 years as part of our natural life cycle — what he calls liminality, the space between “what was” and “what's next.” The fix isn't distraction (real estate, side gigs, or skydiving), but rediscovering your vision — your “ideal self” — and aligning daily work with your true values.He warns against the trap of coaching for compliance — trying to fix patients (or yourself) through fear and goals. Instead, focus on coaching with compassion — inspiring sustained change through purpose, gratitude, and hope. Physicians, he says, thrive when they reconnect to why they entered medicine: to help, heal, and matter. Through personal stories, neuroscience, and humor, Dr. Boyatzis offers a practical roadmap for reigniting passion without abandoning your profession — whether that means teaching, mentoring, volunteering, or simply reframing success through renewed purpose.Three Actionable Takeaways:Revisit Your Vision Every 7–10 Years:  Midlife restlessness isn't failure — it's biology. Reflect on your ideal self by asking, “If my life were fantastic 10–15 years from now, what would it look like?” Write it down, talk it out, and use it to guide new choices in work and life.Coach (and Care) with Compassion, Not Compliance: Patients — and physicians — change through hope, not fear. Replace “If you don't…” warnings with vision-driven goals (“What do you want to live for?”). Shared purpose boosts motivation, treatment adherence, and well-being.Recharge with Purposeful Connection: Gratitude and positive storytelling aren't fluff — they activate the parasympathetic system and restore energy. Start meetings or days with one uplifting story, or jot three things you're grateful for. It rewires stress into meaning. About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!Dr. Richard Boyatzis is a Distinguished University Professor at Case Western Reserve University and one of the world's most cited scholars on emotional intelligence, leadership, and behavior change. Co-author of Primal Leadership and Helping People Change, his latest book, The Science of Change, distills decades of research into how individuals and organizations achieve sustained transformation.

In this insightful episode, Doreen Cumberford and Megan Norton-Newbanks chat with Dr. Helen Fagan about the nomadic spirit, the challenging journey of belonging, and the importance of self-awareness for meaningful inclusion. Dr. Fagan shares her childhood experiences in Iran, her identity as a descendant of Persian Bakhtiari nomads, and how moving across countries and cultures shaped her worldview.The group discusses the internal and external facets of belonging - from the hard “homework” of self-reflection and letting go of limiting beliefs, to the practical work of including and welcoming others. Dr. Fagan describes the Intercultural Development Inventory, which helps people understand their approach to cultural differences, and highlights why most people remain in a mindset of minimization—focusing on similarities while struggling to engage with differences.Through open conversation and vulnerability, Dr. Fagan illuminates the struggles of cultural dissonance, TCK (third culture kid) experiences, and the paradox of being “interested and interesting.” The conversation closes with Dr. Fagan's personal reflections on family in Iran, the challenges of global unrest, and the importance of building belonging both within ourselves and our communities.Key Topics DiscussedNomadic Heritage: The Bakhtiari legacy; how a journeying spirit manifests both in moving and deep engagement with new places.Third Culture Kid Identity: Navigating cultural dissonance, frequent goodbyes, and the search for belonging.Belonging as Inner Work: The necessity of self-reflection, understanding one's core values and past experiences, and releasing old beliefs.Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI): An assessment tool that uncovers how individuals perceive and respond to cultural differences, often revealing the gap between self-perception and reality.Internal vs. External Belonging: Balancing personal development with actions that foster inclusion and belonging for others.Emotional Intelligence and Leadership: The intersection of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, culture, and leadership in promoting inclusive communities.Handling Global Hardship: Coping with uncertainty and trauma when loved ones are in crisis, and turning to trusted personal strategies and support systems.Community and Connection: Building bridges by listening deeply, sharing stories, and fostering both individual and collective belonging.Resources & MentionsIntercultural Development Inventory (IDI)Dr. Helen Fagan's books & leadership trainingBrené Brown on deep listening & belongingConnect with the GuestsDr. Helen Fagan: http://www.linkedin.com/in/drhelenfaganhttp://www.facebook.com/drhelenfaganhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/drhelenfaganThank you for joining Nomadic Diaries!

In this episode I sit down with Darren Dovey KFSM, former Chief Fire Officer of Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, to explore how emotional intelligence can transform leadership in the fire sector. Darren's 35-year career saw him lead through political upheaval, the transition to PFCC governance, and national crises like COVID and extreme weather. But beyond the operational challenges, Darren shares an honest and reflective look at his own journey—from a bright but rebellious firefighter to a leader who discovered that real influence starts with self-awareness.Together they unpack the science behind the EQ-i 2.0 model, how emotional intelligence links to culture, mental health, and decision-making, and why developing emotionally intelligent leaders may hold the key to tackling the fire service's biggest challenges. This is a deep, authentic conversation about leadership, humanity, and how understanding yourself can make you a more effective firefighter, officer, and person.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HEREPODCAST GIFT - FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has dominated hip-hop headlines for years — but beneath the diss tracks, viral moments, and lyrical chess moves lies something much deeper: a story about persona, pride, emotional triggers, and the masks we all wear.In this week's episode of The Shadows Podcast, Tripp “Bodhi” Bodenheimer and Miguel take a psychological deep dive into the most dissected feud of our generation — breaking down not just the bars, but the emotional intelligence behind the conflict.We explore three MAJOR talking points:Drake and Kendrick represent two completely different identities in hip-hop:Drake: polished, calculated, image-drivenKendrick: raw, introspective, purpose-drivenWe examine how each persona reflects the roles we play in our personal lives… and why so many people feel torn between who they are and who they perform to be.What does this feud reveal about our own emotional hot buttons?We talk envy, competition, insecurity, and the fear of being exposed — the exact things that cause relationships, friendships, and workplace interactions to blow up.Drake and Kendrick aren't just rapping at each other — they're mirroring the very internal conflicts most of us face:wanting to be respectedwanting to be understoodwanting to feel enoughThis episode breaks down how their tension symbolically mirrors the conflicts in our daily lives, from family dynamics to social media comparison culture.Whether you're a hip-hop fan or not, this feud opens the door to a bigger conversation about identity, emotional control, self-awareness, and the stories we tell ourselves.We break it all down through the lens of Emotional Intelligence — in a way only The Shadows Podcast can do.Mindset insightsReal-life examplesHumor, honesty & raw conversationA breakdown that goes FAR beyond hip-hop

When burnout hits, most people think they're simply tired. But underneath the exhaustion, there's often a deeper driver: shame — that quiet voice that says, “You're failing. You should be stronger.”In this episode, Dex unpacks how shame silently fuels isolation and self-abandonment in high performers, and what it really takes to break that destructive cycle.Through the story of “Mark,” a high-achieving executive who spiralled into withdrawal and disconnection, Dex reveals the hidden mechanisms of shame and how they erode confidence, relationships, and health — all while convincing us to “work harder.”You'll learn practical, immediately usable steps to reclaim self-trust and reconnect with your power — even in the middle of burnout.What You'll LearnWhy shame is the invisible engine of burnoutThe Shame–Isolation–Self-Abandonment Loop and how it traps high performersThe biology of shame: how it drives withdrawal and shutdownWhy masculine conditioning amplifies shame in leadershipFour Steps to Break the Shame Spiral:Name the shamePractice tiny acts of self-connectionReach out to a safe personRecommit to self-respectKey Quote“Shame isn't proof that you're broken.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger addresses emotional numbness: that lack of joy and quiet disconnection from the person we once were. It often begins as a way to cope with deadlines, expectations, and the constant pressure to prove ourselves. Then staying busy becomes an acceptable way to avoid feeling our feelings. We're polished on the outside, numb on the inside. How exactly does it show up, and why are high-achieving women especially prone to it? Cindy explores the origins of this numbness and what it means for our futures when feeling nothing starts to feel normal.     When we arrive at emotional numbness, everything just feels flat. Nothing shakes us out of the emotional flatlining: not the hobbies we love or even the vacation we've been planning. It's like we decided just to function and remove feelinCindy Esliger, career coach, sabotage, success, career coaching, career journey, emotional numbness, high-achieving women, coping mechanisms, career burnout, emotional disconnection, female leadership, emotional intelligence, workplace stress, mental health at work, nervous system response, signs of emotional numbing, emotional literacy tips, breaking toxic productivity, boundary setting for career women, addressing emotional fatigueg from the process. We're not happy, not sad, not annoyed; we simply exist. Cindy unpacks why this happens. From not being taught how to deal with our feelings to equating strength with stoicism, there are many reasons we slip into disconnection.Cindy points out four common myths that keep us stuck in emotional numbness: 1. I shouldn't feel like this, 2. I just need to stay positive, 3. Showing emotion is a weakness, and 4. Other people make me feel this way. Pretending we're fine is not the same as being fine. The first thing Cindy points out is that we need to understand what emotions are actually for.

We kick things off with an honest, down-to-earth conversation about really getting to know yourself. We chat about how spending time in silence (yes, even those long, quiet car rides) can actually help you figure out what's going on inside your head—not as scary as it sounds, promise!Jeff shares some personal stories about his travels and what he learned by turning off the radio, while Eric opens up about his own journey of self-reflection and why talking to yourself doesn't mean you're losing it. There's even a fun little experiment they try out on air to show just how tricky—and important—self-knowledge can be.Plus, we look at making mistakes, letting go of perfection, and how emotional intelligence tools can make navigating life's ups and downs a whole lot easier. Memorable Moments00:00 Unintentional Radio Silence04:54 Starting Small: Building Self-Reflection06:58 "Talking to Ourselves Helps"12:41 Baseball: Hitting into Bad Luck15:04 Imagined Acquaintance Reflection16:30 Musician's Disney Connection Revealed22:12 Self-Validation Over External Approval26:31 Optimism and Empathy as Growth Tools30:40 "Curiosity Over Judgment: Parental Challenges"31:39 Reconsidering "Toxic" Relationships Advice36:05 "Prioritize Curiosity Over Judgment"Here are three key takeaways for anyone looking to strengthen their emotional intelligence:Embrace Silence as Self-DiscoverySometimes the best way to get to know yourself isn't through books or podcasts, but by simply sitting in silence and observing your own thoughts. Jeff shares how driving in silence helped him become comfortable with himself and do some important self-inventory.Curiosity Over JudgmentWhen reflecting on our actions or beliefs, approach with curiosity—not criticism. As we discussed, being curious about your reactions and beliefs (instead of immediately judging yourself) leads to growth and healthier self-understanding.Strong Relationships Start WithinThe better we know ourselves, the better equipped we are to nurture and sustain healthy relationships with others. Self-knowledge makes us less reactive and more responsive, which is vital for personal and professional growth.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

De-escalation, Emotional Intelligence, and the Power of Listening Affect Labeling for Emotional Regulation Doug introduced a counterintuitive but highly effective method for managing emotions called affect labeling. By quieting the mind and directly naming emotions with simple “you” statements, he explained how it's possible to calm emotional escalation in as little as 90–120 seconds. I found this approach fascinating, especially since it activates the brain's right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex to downshift the amygdala. Doug emphasized that affect labeling can be used not only to regulate your own emotions but also to help others in the middle of tense conversations. Violence Prevention in Prisons Doug shared remarkable stories from his work teaching violence prevention to lifers in maximum security prisons. Over 800 graduates of his program have been released on parole in California without a single reoffense. I couldn't help but admire the impact of this initiative. Imagine how much stronger our communities and families could be if these emotional regulation skills were taught broadly in society. Doug and I agreed: teaching these tools early in life could help prevent conflicts and foster emotional maturity. De-escalating Conflict Through Listening We also explored why anger and polarization seem to be on the rise in today's world. Doug explained that much of it stems from people feeling unheard. When individuals don't feel validated, they often resort to anger or rudeness. He described how even on social media, simply labeling emotions can de-escalate heated conversations. I wholeheartedly agreed — if more people practiced this skill, we'd see far more harmony in society. Calm Conversations with Polarized Individuals Doug walked us through a framework for having constructive conversations with people holding strongly different political or personal beliefs. The method involves asking four questions: what life experiences shaped their beliefs, how those beliefs support their daily life, how they handle differing beliefs, and how they think society should be organized. Rather than trying to persuade or argue, Doug emphasized listening and validating emotions. I see this as a game-changer for building understanding, even in tense family gatherings or divided communities. De-escalation and Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Finally, Doug and I discussed the role of de-escalation skills in leadership. Emotional intelligence and active listening are powerful tools for creating psychological safety and transforming difficult conversations. Doug even shared his free online course on dealing with anger and aggression, available through LinkedIn or by email. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to strengthen their leadership and communication skills.

Feeling the pressure to have all the answers? You're not alone. Mick Spiers sits down with Jim Fielding—former senior executive at Disney, Fox, and DreamWorks, and author of All Pride No Ego—to explore why modern leadership rewards curiosity over certainty. Together, they unpack how to build teams that think bravely, speak freely, and perform under pressure.Jim takes us inside his pandemic pivot from corporate operator to coach and storyteller, revealing the ten leadership lessons he wishes he knew at 25. The conversation dives into the politicization of DEI and the real challenge leaders face today: teams are already diverse in background and thought. The true edge lies in creating workplaces where people feel safe, respected, and heard. Jim shares how leaders can adapt their language—focusing on community, collaboration, and belonging—while still holding managers accountable for the behaviors that drive inclusion.The episode also tackles the chill around free speech, the mechanics of psychological safety, and how leaders can navigate political diversity at work. Jim outlines a calmer, more thoughtful approach: slow down for facts, invite dissent on purpose, and turn meetings into engines of learning. From supporting employees through sudden policy shifts to encouraging civic participation without partisanship, this episode offers practical tools and a steady compass for leading with empathy, courage, and curiosity.

His mother had a breakdown. His father grabbed a bat and went to kill the man. Then came the arrest, the court case, and the decision that would make everything worse: going on television to talk about it. Overnight, he became the kid nobody wanted their children near. Teachers whispered. Parents pulled their kids away. The bullying intensified. He was labeled damaged goods, living proof that some wounds mark you forever. But one summer, his Uncle Marvin asked him a question nobody else had bothered with: "How are you feeling?" They sat together working through emotional vocabulary, and Marc realized he couldn't name a single time he'd felt elated, but he could talk all day about feeling alienated. That conversation became the foundation for everything that followed.Years later, Marc saw "Emotional Intelligence" on the cover of Time Magazine and recognized his uncle's work from twenty years earlier. He pulled Uncle Marvin out of retirement, and they met at a Dunkin Donuts in Fort Lauderdale to build a curriculum that would eventually change how schools teach kids about emotions. Marc earned his PhD studying with the scientists who pioneered emotional intelligence research, got a fifth degree black belt in Hapkido, practiced Zen meditation, and spent three decades researching what it actually takes to heal. Now a professor at Yale (the same school that once rejected him), he's honest about what it required: an uncle who cared enough to ask, thirty years of dedicated study, martial arts discipline, and relentless inner work. Lewis and Marc dig into why accomplishing every goal on your list means nothing if you still don't feel enough, and how emotional education is the missing piece most people never get access to.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
