Podcasts about Emotional intelligence

In this deeply moving episode, we are joined by Sally Raymond, a Marriage & Family Therapist and Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM), whose life was forever changed by the tragic loss of her 23-year-old son, Jon, to suicide. Through unimaginable grief, Sally embarked on a powerful journey of healing, rediscovery, and advocacy. Her book, “The Son I Knew Too Late: A Guide to Help You Survive and Thrive,” offers a raw, honest, and profoundly educational look into youth development, trust, and the emotional intelligence we all need—but often lack.Sally courageously shares how her personal tragedy became a mission to help others survive, thrive, and understand the inner world of young people. She draws from the wisdom of Erik Erikson and her own clinical training to explore how emotional wounds from childhood, unmet needs, and trust issues can silently grow into life-threatening despair.This conversation is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone seeking a more compassionate and informed approach to mental health, parenting, and personal growth.

How to have the conversations that are most difficult — and most important.Before you can have hard conversations with others, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's the counterintuitive advice from Sheila Heen, who says our own internal narratives often derail our attempts at negotiation and conflict resolution."The first negotiation is actually a negotiation I have with myself about my own story," explains Heen, a Harvard Law School lecturer and co-author of Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. When entering challenging interactions, she recommends a powerful shift where we consider that our perspective is only one side of the story. "If I can shift my purpose from convincing you of something to just understanding how you see it and why we might see it differently, that actually is more likely to generate a good conversation with less defensiveness for both of us."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heen joins Matt Abrahams to explore effective communication in high-stakes situations. From giving and receiving feedback with her “ACE” framework (Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation) to recognizing the "degrees of difficulty" in disagreements, she offers practical strategies for having productive conversations even when emotions run high.Episode Reference Links:Sheila Heen Sheila's Books: Difficult Conversations / Thanks for the Feedback  Ep.144 Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with AnyoneEp.136 The Art of Disagreeing Without Conflict: Navigating the Nuance  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 (01:36) - Managing Anxiety in Tough Conversations (04:15) - Why Emotions Matter (07:23) - Shifting the Story We Tell Ourselves (08:41) - Starting with the Real Issue (10:20) - Getting Unstuck in Conflict (13:18) - ACE: The Three Types of Feedback (16:20) - Making Feedback Actionable (18:40) - Finding Common Ground (20:17) - The Final Three Questions (27:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri Ford discusses the concept of upper limits, emphasizing that these limits are often physical rather than merely mental. She explores how the nervous system plays a crucial role in our success and how physical responses can indicate deeper mindset blocks. Keri highlights the importance of rewiring our nervous system to facilitate growth and action, and she encourages listeners to build their capacity to handle both high and low emotional states. The conversation concludes with practical advice on identifying physical symptoms related to mindset issues, reinforcing that awareness alone is not enough for transformation.   Takeaways: The upper limit is a physical barrier, not just a mental one. The nervous system's responses can hinder success. Awareness of mindset blocks is not enough for change. Rewiring the nervous system can facilitate growth. Physical symptoms often indicate deeper emotional issues. Building capacity helps manage emotional highs and lows. Noticing positive experiences is crucial for growth. The brain's negative bias can overshadow achievements. Emotions manifest physically in the body. Identifying physical symptoms can lead to breakthroughs.   Episode Resources: Book your free 15-minute Somatic Strategy Call with Jalena (no sales pitch, just a free nervous system audit)!

Are you tired of the status quo and ready to break through to your highest potential? In this episode, I share my personal journey through burnout and back—unpacking the seven key skills you need to master yourself truly. Tune in as I reveal how self-mastery isn't just about talent or achievement, but about building lifelong habits for resilience, purpose, and excellence.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:Self-Mastery Begins with Self-Awareness: Understanding yourself—your strengths, limitations, and motivations—is the foundational skill. My own transformation began when I recognized the warning signs of burnout and chose to dig deeper into who I really am and what I need.Discipline, Emotional Intelligence, and Positive Thinking Are Non-Negotiable: Knowing what to do is just the start—committing to consistent action, processing challenges with emotional maturity, and maintaining positivity even in tough times are integral skills for sustained growth and impact.Optimize with Goals, Time, and Stress Management: True mastery means setting meaningful goals, managing your time intentionally, and developing ways to handle stress. Find routines and outlets—like I do with Marvel movies—that help you reset and stay on track for long-term success.Master Your Journey

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Randy Lyman about integrating emotional intelligence and spirituality into business, the power of leading from the heart, and how true fulfillment comes from purpose—not just profit. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/randy-lyman   Highlights from today's episode include: Randy Lyman People know that I'm there to support them and help them win, and when they feel safe, they get along better. They don't show up with their guard all protected, right? And they know that I'm there to help them succeed, then they're going to get behind my ideas Randy Lyman  10:50 And so if I'm a leader, that means I can't get the work done by myself. I have to involve other people, and when I'm able to get the best from the group, then, that gives me power, not from a place of ego, but from a place of being able to accomplish. Manon Bolliger And in healing, it's, it's much less structured. But there's really parallels that you can pull from both. And then another thing to notice is that there's, it's also relationship based. So you work with people in your organization the same way you work with clients.   ABOUT RANDY LYMAN: Randy Lyman, The Purpose-Driven Leader, is a physicist and exited founder who has redefined what it means to create purpose-driven success in the building and growth of his multiple seven-figure companies. Randy combines decades of experience in business with a deep commitment to fostering emotional intelligence and spiritual grounding. His upcoming book, The Third Element, due to be released on March 18, 2025, makes these complex concepts accessible and actionable. Randy's entrepreneurial journey began in the technical world of physics and engineering, where he founded and grew a business that became an industry leader. Despite his professional success, he experienced a pivotal moment when he realized that stress and emotional disconnection were holding back his potential and the success of his team. This realization inspired him to focus on cultivating emotional awareness and creating a culture of belonging, which led to dramatic business growth and a renewed sense of purpose. The Third Element is the culmination of Randy's insights, offering readers a powerful framework to unlock the full potential of the Law of Attraction. It reveals the missing piece in manifestation that most people overlook—emotions. Randy teaches readers how unhealed emotions may be secretly shaping their reality and how to transform them into their greatest manifesting ally. By healing old wounds and embracing emotional awareness, readers can bridge science and spirituality to create lasting abundance and personal fulfillment. Today, Randy shares these principles with individuals and organizations seeking clarity, purpose, and transformation. His teachings equip others to harness the power of emotional intelligence, foster meaningful connections, and turn stress into a tool for personal and professional growth. His work is a testament to the idea that when people feel acknowledged and connected, they achieve extraordinary results in all areas of life. Beyond his professional endeavors, Randy is a craftsman at heart, designing custom motorcycle motors and restoring classic cars—a passion that reflects his love for precision and creativity. Married and deeply committed to his family and community, Randy exemplifies the balance of visionary ambition and grounded authenticity. His mission is to inspire others to heal, connect, and unlock their full potential, proving that the journey to abundance begins with emotional awareness and transformation. Core purpose/passion: Research shows that at least 75% of leaders lack emotional intelligence which can contribute to poor team performance and success. Randy would like to discuss The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Business Success. He will discuss how addressing emotional wounds and fostering emotional intelligence can lead to measurable business outcomes.

“We're talking about giving space to practice. Not only practice the relationships but also practice managing money.” -Sean Maher   Most people plan their estate down to the last dollar, but forget to prepare for the emotional fallout that almost always comes from a lack of proper communication between family members.   Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with husband and wife team Sean and Jill Maher to talk about their book The Greatest Gift: 9 Principles for the Transfer of Your Legacy Along with Your Wealth, which journeys into the emotional side of passing down wealth and family legacy.   The idea for the book came after Sean, a financial advisor, saw a well-planned inheritance fall apart when a family started fighting after their parents passed. He brought the issue home to Jill, a mental health counselor, who pointed out that what he was really seeing wasn't a planning problem—it was grief. Together, they've come up with nine key principles that help families avoid drama and stay connected regarding inheritance.   The big takeaway? It's not just about the money. No matter how much (or little) you're passing on, what matters most is communication, shared values, and emotional safety.   Jill and Sean suggest families start having small, low-pressure meetings early, while everyone's still around to talk things through. It's about creating space for honest conversations, building trust, and setting expectations. Their advice blends practical planning with emotional wisdom, encouraging people to treat legacy as a relationship, not just a transaction.   At the heart of it all, their message is simple: don't avoid the tough conversations—have them, and carry them out with love.   Key Topics: Why Sean and Jill Wrote The Greatest Gift (00:49) “You're Passing on Not Just Money, But Also Legacy” (04:33) How to Set Up and Facilitate the Inheritance Conversation with a Family (10:22) Setting Expectations Upfront to Nip Objections in the Bud (21:07) Why Sharing Your Story is So Critical (28:52) Nurturing Independence (35:53) Creating a Safe Environment for Your Children (45:49)   Resources: The Greatest Gift Book USE COUPON CODE: takebackretirement for $5 off and free shipping!   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

Michael Martin, raised in a hardworking blue-collar community, embraced the same ethic. An entrepreneur at heart, he hustled from cutting grass when he was 12 to working all types of jobs including golf caddying and waiting at restaurants to starting businesses. Determined to transition into the white-collar working world and being at the right place at the right time, he was exposed to the financial markets.   He subsequently worked on Wall Street, managing commodity accounts. Despite the significant commissions, he realized that he could potentially earn more through an incentive fee. After three years at a brokerage firm, he started his own CTA. Emphasizing the importance of risk management, discipline, and emotional intelligence, and maintaining a mental edge in trading, he discusses his early experiences with commodities, the evolution of his trading strategies, and the significance of networking and mentorship.

What does it really mean to be emotionally strong—and why is emotional intelligence the leadership skill of the future? Emily Anhalt, author of the new book Flex Your Feelings: Train Your Brain to Develop the 7 Traits of Emotional Fitness, explains why mental health is an ongoing practice, and how we can get more fit. She breaks down why emotional resilience, self-awareness, and adaptability are essential not just for personal well-being but for building sustainable, high-performing teams. Plus, Anhalt explains why emotional fitness is more like going to the gym than going to the doctor, how to build it through “emotional pushups,” and why soft skills are actually some of the hardest (and most valuable) to build in your career.  Check out Emily's new book here: https://www.amazon.com/Flex-Your-Feelings-Develop-Emotional/dp/0593717619

Last week, my daughter graduated from Loyola University Chicago. After years of watching her build a life—on the field, on the sidelines, in the center of the action—she's stepping into the real world. And like so many graduates right now, she's walking in with drive, uncertainty, and a digital footprint that started long before her first job offer.This episode is a message to her—and to every graduate who needs a little direction that's not sugarcoated. It's a life list. The same one I've given my own kids (sometimes more than once). The same one I use with clients in crisis.In this episode:The top three questions students (and parents) ask me after every keynoteWhy your degree matters less than how well you can read a roomThe habits and mindsets that actually keep reputations intactWhat to say in your first “I don't know what to do” moment at workAnd the one thing every Gen Z grad needs to hear—especially those shaped by the pandemic yearsThis is not motivational filler. It's a real list for the real world. Send it to your grad. Save it for your kid.

It's actually helping us get closer because you're gaining more research on what works and what doesn't.”“Confidence crushers are imposter syndrome, perfectionist mindset, the inability to create healthy boundaries because of people-pleasing, and a lack of feeling enough (“enough-ism”)”.“When men struggle with self-confidence they become more assertive…women lose their ability to take action.”Here are the 3 Takeaways:The four pillars Nada talked about were: self-confidence, emotional intelligence, transformational leadership (vs. transactional leadership), and influential communication. These are the things we need to have a thriving life. These are skills we need to have a life that is thriving. The four branches of Emotional Intelligence are: self-awareness, self- management, social awareness, and relationship management. There are aspects to each of these that solve every single challenge we deal with as it relates to people. All of these make up emotional and social intelligence. Self-confidence can undermine our success and research says it doesn't matter what level or country – this is a challenge we all have.

Emotional Intelligence for College Students? We've got the guy! Randy Lyman is a physicist, entrepreneur, and leading expert on emotional intelligence and service based leadership. He has pioneered a groundbreaking approach that bridges science and spirituality to transform how people understand abundance. His book, "The Third Element," reveals the missing link in manifestation that most teachers miss - how unresolved emotional trauma secretly shapes our reality. After forging multiple successful businesses, including an Inc. 500 company, Randy Lyman discovered that true success requires more than just positive thinking and action. This revelation led him to develop a practical system for emotional mastery that has transformed thousands of lives. With a uniquely powerful blend of analytical thinking and emotional intelligence, Randy has built a devoted following through his weekly live sessions and transformational teachings. His framework helps leaders access their full potential by integrating all three elements: mind, body, and emotions. His background in physics and business gives him unique credibility in both corporate boardrooms and spiritual communities, making him a sought-after voice on the intersection of emotional intelligence and abundance. In episode 567 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why he chose Cal State Sacramento for his undergraduate experience, how true business success comes from balancing analytical thinking with emotional intelligence, what inspired him to write "The Third Element", one emotional skill he wishes he had developed earlier, how students can start building authentic professional relationships instead of transactional ones, what helped him navigate anger issues while also leading others, how unhealed emotional patterns might silently shape someone's success—or lack of it—in their first job or relationships after college, a simple daily habit or reflection exercise he'd recommend, and one emotional truth every college student needs to hear. Enjoy!

In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to choose creativity, rather than simply waiting for inspiration to strike. We open with the fascinating origin story of Photoshop—how a grad student's simple problem-solving evolved, through deliberate choices and refinement, into a revolutionary creative tool. This story sets the stage for this episode's exploration of how intentional actions, not just spontaneous bursts, drive meaningful creative outcomes.We're joined by Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, senior research scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the new book, The Creativity Choice: The Science of Making Decisions to Turn Ideas into Action. Zorana shares insights from her 25 years of creativity research, focusing especially on the overlooked emotional aspects of creative work. We discuss why creativity is about continuous, intentional choices—both big and small—that help us make progress, manage our energy, and use our emotions as information.Together, we unpack actionable strategies to deliberately foster creativity in high-pressure environments, the science behind emotional rhythms and productivity, and how tools like generative AI fit into the evolving landscape of creative work.

I, Stewart Alsop, welcomed Alex Levin, CEO and co-founder of Regal, to this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast to discuss the fascinating world of AI phone agents. Alex shared some incredible insights into how AI is already transforming customer interactions and what the future holds for company agents, machine-to-machine communication, and even the nature of knowledge itself.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:29 Alex Levin shares that people are often more honest with AI agents than human agents, especially regarding payments.02:41 The surprising persistence of voice as a preferred channel for customer interaction, and how AI is set to revolutionize it.05:15 Discussion of the three types of AI agents: personal, work, and company agents, and how conversational AI will become the main interface with brands.07:12 Exploring the shift to machine-to-machine interactions and how AI changes what knowledge humans need versus what machines need.10:56 The looming challenge of centralization versus decentralization in AI, and how Americans often prioritize experience over privacy.14:11 Alex explains how tokenized data can offer personalized experiences without compromising specific individual privacy.25:44 Voice is predicted to become the primary way we interact with brands and technology due to its naturalness and efficiency.33:21 Why AI agents are easier to implement in contact centers due to different entropy compared to typical software.38:13 How Regal ensures AI agents stay on script and avoid "hallucinations" by proper training and guardrails.46:11 The technical challenges in replicating human conversational latency and nuances in AI voice interactions.Key InsightsAI Elicits HonestyPeople tend to be more forthright with AI agents, particularly in financially sensitive situations like discussing overdue payments. Alex speculates this is because individuals may feel less judged by an AI, leading to more truthful disclosures compared to interactions with human agents.Voice is King, AI is its HeirDespite predictions of its decline, voice remains a dominant channel for customer interactions. Alex believes that within three to five years, AI will handle as much as 90% of these voice interactions, transforming customer service with its efficiency and availability.The Rise of Company AgentsThe primary interface with most brands is expected to shift from websites and apps to conversational AI agents. This is because voice is a more natural, faster, and emotive way for humans to interact, a behavior already seen in younger generations.Machine-to-Machine FutureWe're moving towards a world where AI agents representing companies will interact directly with AI agents representing consumers. This "machine-to-machine" (M2M) paradigm will redefine commerce and the nature of how businesses and customers engage.Ontology of KnowledgeAs AI systems process vast amounts of information, creating a clear "ontology of knowledge" becomes crucial. This means structuring and categorizing information so AI can understand the context and user's underlying intent, rather than just processing raw data.Tokenized Data for PrivacyA potential solution to privacy concerns is "tokenized data." Instead of providing AI with specific personal details, users could share generalized tokens (e.g., "high-intent buyer in 30s") that allow for personalized experiences without revealing sensitive, identifiable information.AI Highlights Human InconsistenciesImplementing AI often brings to light existing inconsistencies or unacknowledged issues within a company. For instance, AI might reveal discrepancies between official scripts and how top-performing human agents actually communicate, forcing companies to address these differences.Influence as a Key Human SkillIn a future increasingly shaped by AI, Sam Altman (via Alex) suggests that the ability to "influence" others will be a paramount human skill. This uniquely human trait will be vital, whether for interacting with other people or for guiding and shaping AI systems.Contact Information*   Regal AI: regal.ai*   Email: hello@regal.ai*   LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/alexlevin1/
