Podcasts about Emotional intelligence

I continue to find and place value in Emotional Intelligence. I spent much of my life misperceiving social intelligence as emotional intelligence. I felt I could read and cater to other's emotions, but I was very ignorant and neglectful of my own emotions, which took a toll on myself, and others. In this episode I brought on an expert who cites that emotional intelligence as the single biggest predictor of our personal and professional success. Scott Allender is an expert in global leadership and organizational development. He regularly teaches Enneagram workshops and conducts emotional intelligence assessments for individuals and teams who seek to become more radically self-aware and cognizant of the impact they have on the world. Scott has a book titled, The Enneagram of Emotional Intelligence: A Journey to Personal and Professional Success. This is another installment in my continual pursuit of understanding and owning my own emotions.

What if fear wasn't something to avoid… but something to listen to?In this powerful and perspective-shifting episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Chris Harris—President of Tech-Labs and Founder of The Warrior Maker—to explore how mindset can transform fear from a prison into a powerful guide.Chris is known as “The Warrior Maker,” and for good reason. As a bestselling author, elite performance keynote speaker, member of the Forbes Coaches Council, and inductee into the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame, he has trained high performers around the world.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Cal Thompson, designer, product advisor, artist and mindfulness teacher with over 15 years of experience in human-centered design. Cal most recently served as VP of Product Design and Research at Headspace, where they led both a design team and a scientific research team through the company's expansion from a meditation app into a full mental health platform. Cal explains how growing up gay in the south impacted how they see design and makes a strong business case for incorporating accessibility into all products and designs. They also explore why the design toolkit is more critical in the AI era than ever before, and why vibe coding without domain expertise risks producing what Cal calls "feature slop." They also dig into the attention economy and how mindfulness is quietly becoming a radical act in a world engineered to capture your focus.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATALinks: Cal Thompson Headspace Future London Academy Center for Humane TechnologyGreenway Institute Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the conversation you're avoiding is the one your business needs most?A lot of founders start a business because they have an idea, a product, or a vision they believe in. But at some point, building the business also means learning how to lead people, give feedback, handle tension, and communicate when things feel uncertain.Ashli Carter, senior lecturer in management at Columbia Business School, helps leaders build the skills that matter most in those moments: trust, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and difficult conversations.In this episode, Ashli shares practical ways to prepare before a tough conversation and how to build trust with your team even when you're still figuring things out.If you've ever struggled to give feedback or felt like leadership was the part of entrepreneurship no one prepared you for, this episode is for you.Watch the full conversation on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ThisissmallbusinessIn this episode of This Is Small Business, you'll learn:(01:24) — What leadership really asks of small business owners(03:54) — How Self-Awareness Makes You a Better Leader(05:57) — How to Stay Grounded When Feedback Feels Overwhelming(08:13) — How to Make Difficult Conversations Productive(12:13) — Why perfection can get in the way of leadership and how to overcome it

What if "Never Give Up" is terrible advice?(watch this full interview on YouTube.  https://youtu.be/6ROfazVZBco)We've all heard it: Quitters never win. Winners never quit.But what if hanging on too long is actually what's holding you back?In this fascinating conversation, resilience researcher, change strategist and keynote speaker Courtney Clark (https://courtneyclark.com/)  shares why adaptability, (NOT POSITIVITY!) is the real secret to thriving in this uncertain world.After surviving cancer four times and discovering a life-threatening brain aneurysm, Courtney learned that resilience isn't about pretending everything is fine.

Rob shares the 26 skills he teaches students, including communication, confidence, empathy, resilience, character, and mindset.

Topics discussed include: • The 26 human skills every teen needs to thrive • Why soft skills matter more than ever in an AI-driven world • How technology is affecting communication and relationships • The connection between character, confidence, and career success • What parents can do to help teens become future-ready • Why schools should prioritize life skills alongside academics Guest: Rob Heller, Founder of The Boost Program and author of The Missing Course

Tom Uren and James Wilson talk about Anthropic rolling out its latest models only to have them effectively banned by the US government within days. Although the administration's process for assessing new models is, ahem, amorphous, Anthropic is doing itself no favours by dismissing its concerns. The company needs to show some emotional intelligence and learn how to manage upwards. They also discuss Section 702 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act collection. The law authorising it has lapsed amidst political shenanigans, but it looks like collection can continue until next year. Plenty of time for kicking of political footballs!

Send us Fan MailEmotional intelligence isn't something you either have or you don't. It's a skill. And it might be the most important one you can build when you're navigating divorce, co-parenting, and figuring out who you are on the other side of a relationship.Kristen Harcourt — business coach, speaker, podcast host, and emotional intelligence expert — joins Alex and Amanda to talk about what EQ actually looks like in practice: how to regulate your emotions in real time during a difficult co-parenting conversation, how to spot self-abandonment in dating after divorce, why the goal isn't to stop having emotions but to stop reacting to everything, and how self-compassion is the foundation of all of it. She also shares her own experience going back into the dating world after 25 years and what that journey taught her about attachment styles, boundaries, and choosing herself first.Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by our podcast guest are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the hosts or the podcast.

This week we are diving deep into emotional waves, and how they are one of the most influential yet misunderstood aspects of the Human Design system. We explore what it means to have emotional authority, how emotional waves impact our decision-making, relationships, and personal growth, and why emotional awareness is essential for everyone—not just those with a defined Solar Plexus. We discuss the difference between emotional highs, lows, and crashes, the unique experiences of emotional and non-emotional beings, and how emotional intelligence can transform the way we navigate life. Whether you have an emotional wave yourself or are learning to understand the emotions of those around you, this conversation offers practical insights for cultivating greater self-awareness, acceptance, and connection. Key Takeaways: Why emotional waves are a natural and consistent part of life for approximately 50% of the population—and why they aren't necessarily caused by external circumstances. How developing awareness of your emotional wave can help you make more aligned decisions and live in greater harmony with your Human Design. How emotional highs and lows differ from emotional crashes, and why understanding your specific wave and its triggers can help you navigate emotions more consciously. Why people without emotional authority still experience emotions deeply by amplifying the emotional energy of those around them. Why emotional intelligence isn't about suppressing feelings—it's about observing, accepting, and navigating them with greater awareness and responsibility. Free Mini-Courses!

Learn how high‑achieving women can feel successful yet emotionally numb, why intuition is a critical emotional survival skill, utilizing emotional literacy and relational intelligence in leadership, the neuroscience of burnout and elite performance, and how self‑attunement enables clearer decision‑making in both personal and professional environments. With insights grounded in psychology and lived experience, this episode offers a powerful reframing of personal growth, leadership, and well‑being for women navigating ambition, identity, and modern self‑help messaging.

Most high performers don't get passed over because of what they know. They get passed over because of how they lead. In this episode, Dr. Bushra Khan makes the case that emotional intelligence isn't a soft skill, it's the strategic operating system every leader needs right now, especially as AI reshapes what work looks like. In this conversation, she breaks down: Why 'be more strategic' on a performance review usually means something specific and fixable.

Your phone is not just a gadget. It is a gateway into an economy built to capture attention, shape behavior, and keep you coming back. We bring on Jay Vidyarthi, mindfulness teacher, UX designer, technologist, and founder of Still Ape, to talk about the real world collision between contemplative practice and the modern attention economy. We start with a short, grounding practice of “doing nothing,” then zoom out to the strange fact that even this conversation is carried by microphones, data packets, and screens.Jay shares what it feels like to grow up loving video games and early internet creativity while also longing for silence, retreats, and depth. That tension shows up everywhere: tech culture can dismiss meditation, and mindfulness culture can quietly shame technology. We name the cost of that split, especially the guilt, shame, and fear that can creep into how we talk about screen time, social media, and even our kids' digital lives. Jay offers a more honest frame: you do not have to abandon technology to be mindful, but you do need a healthier relationship with your attention.From there, we dig into the incentives behind the systems, including how AI may be pushing us from an attention economy into an “attachment economy,” where people form bonds with bots and start confiding in them. Jay argues that mindfulness is becoming subversive, not because it is trendy, but because choosing where to place attention runs against powerful forces. He calls the response “attention activism,” a middle way that avoids both naive techno-optimism and tech doom, and invites teachers, designers, and everyday users to show up online with wisdom.If you care about mindfulness, digital wellness, humane technology, or building tech that supports human flourishing, this conversation will give you language and direction.

Have you ever had intrusive thought patterns that always seem to poison your mind? Something that almost doesn't seem like “yours”? If so, you're not alone. This podcast explores how we habitually “pick up” certain thoughts from the constant stream of mental activity. This concept is similar to choosing familiar foods at a buffet. He explains that mindfulness allows one to recognize unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and habits while encouraging honesty, self-compassion, and the willingness to change course. Through developing new skills, wise reflection, and mindful intentions, we can stop identifying with unfriendly thoughts and cultivate beneficial patterns of thinking and behavior.

Welcome back to the Freedom Factory! In Episode 90, your host Brandon Cunningham delivers a masterclass on the single most vital skill required for long-term entrepreneurial success: Emotional Intelligence (EI). Everywhere you look, people are obsessing over Artificial Intelligence (AI). But while technology is evolving rapidly, a computer program will never have the moral, spiritual, or emotional capacity to build true human trust—and trust is the ultimate currency of network marketing. If you want your organization to thrive, you must stop focusing exclusively on automated information and start paying attention to human behavior. In this episode, Brandon breaks down three pillars of high-EI leadership. First, he dives into reading a room—revealing how to sense confusion or pressure and why overpowering people with fake enthusiasm kills a deal. Through a classic, unforgettable "chewing gum" analogy, you will learn why giving prospects physical and mental space actually pulls them closer when the timing in their life inevitably changes. Second, Brandon delivers an essential shield against rejection. If you've been losing your confidence when prospects ghost, skip out on meetings, or drop out of your business, this conversation will completely reframe your mindset. Finally, you'll discover how to personalize your leadership style—because treating everyone the same ignores the individual needs of your builders, whether they require strict structure, verbal encouragement, or gentle accountability. Learn to control your mouth, read your team, protect your relationship circles, and run your business like a true professional.Ready to transform your mindset and achieve your goals?

What if the secret to influencing people, uncovering the truth, and becoming a better leader isn't authority — it's emotional intelligence? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Sabine Charles shares how her career as a fraud investigator and internal auditor taught her an unexpected lesson: people reveal their deepest truths when they feel understood. From interviewing fraud suspects who "spilled the beans" within minutes to helping professionals overcome performance anxiety and pass high-stakes certification exams, Sabine reveals the mindset and emotional intelligence strategies that transformed her approach to leadership. Together, we explore her MEQ (Mindset, Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership Qualities) framework, the surprising connection between hypnotherapy and peak performance, how to adapt communication across cultures, and why understanding people is far more important than being right. Sabine also shares deeply personal stories about resilience, self-awareness, and staying grounded in your values during life's most challenging moments. Whether you're leading a team, navigating difficult conversations, managing workplace relationships, or simply trying to communicate more effectively, this episode offers practical tools for building trust, influencing change, and elevating your leadership from the inside out. In this episode, you'll learn: • How emotional intelligence helps people open up and trust you • Why persuasion starts with understanding, not convincing • Techniques for managing performance anxiety in high-stakes situations • How to give and receive feedback across cultures • The role of self-awareness, reflection, and mindset in effective leadership • Why leadership begins long before you have a title Connect with Dr. Sabine Charles LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabine-charles/ Website: https://www.drsabinecharles.com/ Book: Leadership MeQ — available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese Contact ANI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Request A Customized Workshop For Your Company⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Kwame Christian on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠negotiateanything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here to buy your copy of Finding Confidence in Conflict: How to Negotiate Anything and Live Your Best Life!

The world is loud, work is heavier than it should be, and “hustle” has become a badge of honor even when it is wrecking our health and focus. We wanted a better way, so we brought on Drew Thompson, keynote speaker and AI expert known as the “AI to human translator,” to talk about what happens when you combine practical AI strategy with something most business conversations forget: laughter.Drew shares the through line of his career, from child actor to ad agency founder to coaching thousands of high performers, and why service is the real strategy. We dig into his upcoming book idea, Permission to Laugh, and why humor is not denial but a tool for presence, perspective, and resilience when things feel dark. From there, we turn AI into real-world action, including his “AI for 14 days” practice using ChatGPT or Gemini as a judgment-free thought partner to unpack fears, frustrations, goals, and decision blocks like analysis paralysis.We also get tactical with a zero-dollar AI framework that stacks tools to help you operate like you have a much bigger team, plus content workflows using AI scripting, avatar video tools like HeyGen, automation with n8n, and rapid building with tools like Replit. Drew calls out what he sees high performers doing wrong right now, why grinding is not the flex people think it is, and why emotional intelligence and face-to-face connection matter more than ever as AI content marketing accelerates, especially in industries like real estate.If you want practical AI prompts, smarter systems, and a more human way to scale, press play.

We talk with Scott Berman, founder of Sky Cave Retreats, about what extended time in complete darkness actually does to the body and mind when distractions, orientation, and performance all fall away. Sky Cave Retreats: https://www.skycaveretreats.com/We focus on nervous system safety, permission to feel what is here, and why the “right” darkness retreat is less about endurance and more about how you relate to yourself. • What a darkness retreat is and how Sky Cave cabins are designed for total blackout and near silence • Why the retreat container and expectations can shape what people allow themselves to feel • Disorientation, survival responses, and how fight flight freeze can show up in the dark • Using the body as an anchor when visual cues disappear • The difference between techniques used for connection versus strategies used to manage experience • Softening as allowing and being with, not forcing a “soft” persona or positivity filter • How the program is structured with preparation, touch-ins, and integration support • The ancient roots of darkness practice across cultures and lineages • Scott's personal journey and how Sky Cave evolved with a nervous system lens • Who tends to benefit most, including curiosity, availability, and willingness not to know I encourage people to check out skykaveretreats.com.Teach mindfulness without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome. Learn about our Internationally Accredited Certification Program:  https://certify.mindfulnessexercises.com/Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo is a practical, grounded mindfulness podcast for people who want meditation to actually help in real life.Hosted by Sean Fargo — a former Buddhist monk, mindfulness teacher, and founder of MindfulnessExercises.com — this podcast explores how mindfulness can support mental health, emotional regulation, trauma sensitivity, chronic pain, leadership, creativity, and meaningful work.Each episode offers a mix of:Practical mindfulness and meditation teachingsConversations with respected meditation teachers, clinicians, authors, and researchersReal-world insights for therapists, coaches, yoga teachers, educators, and caregiversGentle reflections for anyone navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, grief, or changeIf you're interested in:Mindfulness meditation for everyday lifeTrauma-sensitive and compassion-based practicesTeaching mindfulness in an authentic, non-performative wayDeepening your own practice while supporting others…you're in the right place.Learn more at ...

In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave sits down with Mark Steiner, founder of the powerhouse event marketplace GigSalad. After receiving a life-changing ADHD diagnosis at age 57, Mark looked back on his journey from a New Jersey theater actor to a highly successful CEO. They dive deep into the unique mechanics of the ADHD brain in business, exploring how unconventional paths can breed massive professional success.  Entrepreneurship and ADHD: The Reality of Late Diagnosis: Mark shares his personal journey of discovering his ADHD later in life after his daughter was diagnosed, highlighting how common it is for adults to finally make sense of their lives decades into their careers. EQ Over IQ: Mark emphasizes that high emotional intelligence (EQ) and "street smarts" are critical for building a flourishing company culture, far outweighing traditional MBA or textbook knowledge. Non-Negotiable Systems for Success: To sustain a thriving, bootstrap company for over 20 years, Mark relies on hiring people who complement his weaknesses, delegating autonomy completely, and protecting his calendar for essential solitary decompression time. ·         Build a Culture of Autonomy: Avoid micromanaging your team. Plant the overarching vision, give your employees a "long leash" with plenty of freedom, and act as their ultimate cheerleader while they execute. ·         Acknowledge and Map Your Social Window: Recognize that even if you are an extrovert who thrives at conferences or in boardrooms, you likely have a "four-to-six-week window" before you need dedicated, solitary decompression time to reset. ·         Practice Extreme Self-Mercy: Forgive yourself for the tangents, the oversharing, and the inevitable administrative blemishes. Mark attributes true professional freedom to showing up as your authentic self without "shape-shifting" or masking. You can find GigSalad here: https://www.gigsalad.com/

Do you really win the negotiation if it means losing the relationship?You might think that successful negotiation means getting what you want here and now. But Stan Christensen says this short-sighted view is selling many negotiators short.Christensen is a professional negotiator, host of the All Things Negotiation podcast, and instructor of one of Stanford's most popular courses on the subject. His core insight: most negotiations happen with people you'll see again — which means success isn't about claiming victory, it's about building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. “Most people think of negotiation statically,” he says. “It's you and I. There's a fixed pie. We're trying to get more for ourself and less for the other party. In reality, 95% of negotiations are gonna be with people you see again, so I define success as contributing to the value of the long-term relationship.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Christensen and host Matt Abrahams explore what it takes to negotiate well — from the power of listening and asking questions to managing emotions and communicating for collaboration. Whether you're negotiating a business deal or just deciding where to go to dinner, Christensen shows why every negotiation is an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.Episode Reference Links:Stan ChristensenAll Things Negotiation PodcastEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You WantEp.204 Tough Talks: Turn Tension Into Trust 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 >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:11) - What Is Negotiation?
