Podcasts about emotionally intelligent

Are humanoids ready to step onto the front lines of mental health, senior care, and emotional therapy? In another throwback episode of Edge of Show we are remembering our first-ever live podcast recorded in front of an audience with a humanoid robot, where host Josh Kriger sits down at Moss in Venice Beach with Ria, an emotionally intelligent humanoid developed by Machani Robotics.Josh frames the episode around groundbreaking clinical data: generative AI therapy chatbots driving a 51% reduction in depression symptoms and patients rating AI psychotherapy responses higher in contextual empathy than human therapists. Joining the stage is Niv Sundaram, Chief Strategy Officer at Machani Robotics, who discusses the company's technical roadmap, data privacy protocols, and mission to deploy empathy-focused humanoids across senior care, special needs education, and wellness lounges globally. The episode concludes with a live, unscripted Q&A session where audience members test Ria's perspectives on human loneliness, existential grief, and inter-agent ethics.Support us through our Sponsors! ☕ Want to make content like ours?

Research shows that 90% of top performers score high in emotional intelligence, a number that stands out even more as AI reshapes how work gets done. As technology takes on more of the tactical workload, the skills that set people and organizations apart are becoming more human, not less. The ability to read a room, stay grounded under pressure, build real trust, navigate difficult conversations, and give honest feedback has become a genuine competitive advantage.In this episode of Bring Out the Talent, we are joined by Coach Monique DeMonaco, an internationally trained, multi-certified Life, Leadership, Executive, and Career Coach with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and organizations unlock their full potential. As a Change Management Expert and Emotional Intelligence Coach, Monique brings a science-backed, practical approach to self-awareness, resilience, communication, and emotional regulation. Together, we discuss why emotional intelligence is fast becoming leadership's most strategic skill, how it shapes teams and culture in an AI-driven workplace, and what leaders can do to build it in themselves and others.

THE TRUTH ABOUT EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE — it's not what you think it is. Everybody says they want emotionally intelligent partners, bosses, friends, and parents. But what does that actually mean? It's not being calm all the time. It's not always being nice. It's not never getting angry. Emotionally intelligent people feel the exact same emotions everyone else does — jealousy, hurt, rejection, defensiveness. The difference is what they do AFTER the emotion shows up.In Episode 323 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis breaks down the fivebehaviors emotionally intelligent people consistently practice — and why eachone matters so much to your healing.In this episode:— Why they apologize before they're caught or confronted — and how real accountability sounds different from "I'm sorry you feel that way"— Why they create a pause instead of reacting — the tiny space between what you feel and what you do, where choice actually lives— Why they get curious instead of making assumptions — because 99% of the time, someone else's behavior isn't about you (and assumption feeds The Fantasy Loop™)— Why they set boundaries instead of seeking revenge — the difference between "I'll make you suffer" and "I'll protect myself"— Why they actually know what they're feeling — because you can't regulate an emotion you can't nameEmotional intelligence isn't about impressing others. It's about building arelationship with yourself where you can tolerate uncomfortable emotionswithout abandoning who you are. Healing doesn't mean you'll never be triggeredagain — it means your recovery time gets shorter.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comTake the Fantasy Loop Quiz: quiz.thefantasyloop.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.com

How do we raise emotionally intelligent kids? It's not what our instinct tells us! It's not by preventing them from having big feelings or to try to get them to think positively or see "the bright side". It's also not to expect them to not have emotions or to think that our big feeling kid is doing something wrong that needs to be fixed. Nope! And yet, that's what most of us were taught (for sure me!) and so that's how we parent until we learn differently. That's what this week and my mission is all about. I teach the emotional intelligence skills to adults so that they can parent from emotional regulation and raise emotionally intelligent kids.  Click play on this episode of the Love Your Life Show to learn: The two foundational building blocks of emotional intelligence Where feelings actually come from Why trying to fix your child's emotions often backfires How to teach your child to process feelings in a healthy way The simple three-step process: Name It, Describe It, Feel It Why emotional intelligence requires both support and boundaries How learning about emotional intelligence with a surfing metaphor helped me long before I lived by the beach in Australia!  If you've ever found yourself saying, "Don't be sad," "It'll be okay," or "Just think about it differently," this episode will help you approach your child's emotions in a completely new way. Because emotionally intelligent kids aren't kids who never have big feelings. They're kids who learn that feelings are safe, normal, and something they can move through. One parent at a time. Thanks for being that parent and listening to episodes like this.

Here's the truth: Raising emotionally intelligent kids isn't about making sure they say “please” and “thank you.” It's about raising little humans who can actually handle big feelings, express themselves without melting down (well, most of the time), and build relationships that don't implode at the first sign of conflict. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the underrated superpower that will serve your kids long after they've forgotten their multiplication tables. From playground drama to career success to healthy adult relationships, EQ is the thread that ties it all together. And while it doesn't come with a manual (seriously, why don't hospitals hand that out with the newborn onesie?), there are some universal truths every parent needs to know. To help us break it down, we're joined by Alyssa Blask Campbell. With years of experience teaching parents and kids how to build emotional awareness, resilience, and connection, Alyssa has made it her mission to help families thrive from the inside out. In this conversation, she shares practical strategies, science-backed insights, and the FACTS about what it really takes to raise kids who can navigate their emotions (instead of being ruled by them). Because let's be honest: you don't just want your kids to be successful — you want them to be good humans. And that starts with emotional intelligence. Thank you to our sponsors!

What if the key to raising emotionally intelligent, resilient kids isn't about managing their behavior — but about shifting your own?Lorena Seidel, Montessori teacher, emotional intelligence coach, and creator of the Cooperation Shift framework, joins Lianne Castelino host of the Where Parents Talk podcast, for a candid, research-backed conversation about why good intentions alone won't rewrite old parenting patterns — and what actually will.Seidel shares how a humiliating childhood memory became the compass for her life's work, and how years later, as a new mom, she found herself repeating the very patterns she swore she'd leave behind. Her journey — through Montessori education, a master's in emotional intelligence, mindfulness training, and years of practice — led her to develop a transformative approach that helps parents stop putting out fires and start building lasting skills.In this episode, you'll learn about the Cooperation Shift framework, the powerful Skill Do Over tool, and the three questions every parent can ask in the heat of the moment to shift from reactive to responsive. Seidel also explores what emotional intelligence, resilience, and an "unsinkable mindset" really look like — and why 80% of your child's future success may hinge on what's between their ears, not the school they attend or the sports they play.Takeaways:Understanding the impact of hormonal changes during adolescence is crucial for effective parenting and communication.Device usage among teens can both enhance and complicate relationships, making discipline and guidance essential.The role of social media in bullying presents challenges for emotional and mental health that parents must address thoughtfully.Consent and relationships are pivotal topics for young adults, requiring open communication about boundaries and respect.Links referenced in this episode:whereparents talk.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:MontessoriTEDxThis podcast is for parents, guardians, teachers and caregivers to learn proven strategies and trusted tips on raising kids, teens and young adults based on science, evidenced and lived experience.You'll learn the latest on topics like managing bullying, consent, fostering healthy relationships, and the interconnectedness of mental, emotional and physical health.

Most companies hire and promote based on IQ and productivity — but what if emotional intelligence is the real driver of lasting success? In this episode of Anatomy of Success, Steve Wolinhaus breaks down the nine defining behaviors of emotionally intelligent people and why identifying them can transform your team, your leadership, and your organization.

Kat is back, and immediately finds a mystery pair of sunglasses to derail us. Ian then somehow turns seeing 11:11 into a segue about emotional intelligence. It's a chaotic start. Then we get into what we actually meant to talk about: why emotional intelligence matters at work, and how much of it comes down to self-awareness. Kat brings MBA-class receipts, Ian reflects on how badly young-20s Ian handled feedback, and together they unpack the biases that shape how we lead, hire, and work with other people. From the halo effect and similarity bias to a live on-air diagnosis of Ian's fundamental attribution error, this episode is equal parts leadership conversation, workplace reality check, and accidental therapy session. Spoiler: emotional intelligence won't solve everything, but it can make you a lot better at your job.

Relatable. podcast, Susan is chatting with early language expert and parent educator Cara Tyrrell to explore how the words we use with children shape their identity, emotional intelligence, and lifelong ability to connect.

This episode of The Truth That Heals features author Angela Legh, who emphasizes the vital importance of processing emotions rather than repressing them to prevent long-term physical and mental health issues (0:00-0:50, 7:46-8:11). She introduces her "Feel, Name, Allow" method as a practical tool for managing feelings in real-time, explaining that emotions only last about 90 seconds biologically when not prolonged by our thoughts (17:47-19:31). Additionally, Angela discusses her mission to help parents and teachers raise emotionally resilient children, notably through her Bella Santini Chronicles book series, which teaches emotional awareness in an engaging, accessible way for young readers (12:43-16:50).www.bellasantini.comwww.angelalegh.comIf you would like to support my work and podcast please buy me a coffee at:buymeacoffee.com/truththath7

In this week's episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I speak with Vanessa Druskat, a globally recognized expert in team performance and author of "The Emotionally Intelligent Team." Vanessa shares the inspiration behind her research, highlighting the gap between anecdotal advice and evidence-based practices for building successful teams. She discusses the importance of cultivating esprit de corps—meaning a sense of belonging, value, and psychological safety—within teams, and emphasizes that this must come from both leaders and team members.Our conversation explores practical norms and routines that emotionally intelligent teams use, dispelling myths around individual emotional intelligence versus collective TeamEI. Vanessa provides actionable examples, such as brief check-ins, team charters, and structured feedback mechanisms, underscoring the need for leaders to be intentional, especially in remote or hybrid environments. Questions from the live audience explored topics such as the role of team charters, overcoming ineffective norms, and the courage required to embrace feedback and conflict constructively. The episode is packed with research-backed insights and practical strategies to help leaders create high-performing, emotionally intelligent teams.What You'll Learn- Great teams do things differently… and intentionally.- The importance of assessing your team's norms (anonymous surveys work wonders!).- Develop a charter and revisit it regularly.- Make feedback part of your culture rather than a once-a-year event- How to lead remote/hybrid teams effectively.- Why you want to finish meetings with a Plus/Delta.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Welcome to the Podcast(10:25) - Defining Team Emotional Intelligence vs Individual EQ(19:56) - Common Team Norms: Good, Bad, and Misunderstood(24:32) - Creating and Using Team Charters(27:12) - Activities to Build Understanding and Belonging(32:11) - Best Practices for Team Assessment(36:54) - Feedback and Accountability in Emotionally Intelligent Teams(41:20) - Constructive Conflict and Avoiding Sidebar Conversations(49:33) - Emotional Intelligence in Remote and Hybrid Teams(54:33) - Final ReflectionsKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, Team Emotional Intelligence, Team Norms, Self-awareness, Psychological Safety, Feedback Culture, Team Rituals, Team-Building, High-Performing Teams, Team Assessment, Team Charter, Remote Teams, Hybrid Teams, Collaboration, Accountability, Sense of Belonging, Respect, Onboarding, Team Effectiveness, CEO Success

What began as a serendipitous friendship in Brooklyn during the pandemic has grown into a movement impacting over 100 New York City schools, partnering with major brands like Puma, Meta, NBC, and Bellevue Hospital, and placing more than 100,000 personal development workbooks into the hands of learners of all ages.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: FIRST AIRED NOVEMBER 14, 2023 In this episode, Tara welcomes Alyssa Blask Campbell, CEO of Sew and Seed. Alyssa is a trusted expert in emotional development and the host of the popular podcast "Voices of Your Village." The conversation centers around Alyssa's new book, "Tiny Humans, Big Emotions: How to Navigate Tantrums, Meltdowns, and Defiance to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children." Alyssa shares that the book is based on Collaborative Emotion Processing (CEP), a method for being with and moving through hard things. She and her colleague, Lauren Stauble developed this method after realizing that traditional behavior-focused approaches were not effective in real-life parenting situations. They wanted to create a comprehensive approach that focuses on the adult's self-awareness and self-care, as well as the interaction between adults and children. Tara and Alyssa discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and its impact on daily life. Alyssa shares how her perspective on emotional intelligence shifted when she started envisioning a world where these tools were accessible to everyone, including her own child and future generations. She emphasizes the need for emotional intelligence in adults, especially those in positions of power, so they can support others and model healthy ways of navigating difficult situations. Alyssa explains that emotional intelligence consists of five components: self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, social skills, and motivation. She highlights the significance of self-awareness, as it is the foundation for regulating emotions and accessing the other components. Alyssa uses personal examples, such as a social media backlash, to illustrate the importance of recognizing dysregulation cues and taking a step back before responding. They also touch on empathy and how it is best taught through modeling. Instead of claiming to understand exactly how someone feels in a given situation, she suggests connecting with the emotions someone is experiencing, rather than focusing on why they are feeling that way. If you're interested in teaching your children empathy, you should listen to this episode!

ATQ (Accessing The Quantum Through Emotional Self-Mastery): https://link.shaminataylor.com/accessing-the-quantum-through-emotional-self-mastery-2025 In this episode of The Unapologetically Rich Show, Shamina Taylor unpacks why emotionally intelligent communication is one of the most powerful skills a woman can develop—and how speaking from blame quietly sabotages everything you want. When communication comes from blame, people shut down. Defenses rise. Conversations turn combative or cold. Even when you're "right," the outcome works against you. Shamina explains why this happens at the nervous-system level and how emotionally intelligent communication shifts you into a feminine frequency where influence feels natural, not forced. This episode explores how regulated, emotionally intelligent communication allows you to: Express needs without accusation or emotional charge Hold boundaries without creating resistance Lead conversations without control or power struggles De-escalate tension while staying rooted in your truth Create outcomes where people want to meet you This isn't about being softer or silencing yourself. It's about removing blame so your message can actually land. When blame leaves the room, defenses fall and your power becomes undeniable. If you want more money, better relationships, and higher-level conversations, this episode will change how you speak and how people respond to you.

Welcome to episode #1013 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when organizations are wrestling with fractured cultures, hybrid work, and teams struggling to stay connected, it helps to learn from someone who has spent three decades proving that collaboration is not a personality trait but a designed environment, which is why this episode turns to the work of Vanessa Druskat, an award-winning researcher, educator at the University of New Hampshire, and one of the world's leading experts on team emotional intelligence. Vanessa has devoted her career to understanding how teams actually function in the real world, conducting years of field research inside global companies, university systems, and high-pressure environments to uncover the norms, habits, and emotional cues that separate high-performing groups from those that merely coexist. She is a pioneer of the Team Emotional Intelligence (Team EI) model, a framework now used by leaders around the world to build team cultures rooted in shared understanding, psychological safety, and constructive emotional expression. Her latest book, The Emotionally Intelligent Team - Building Collaborative Groups That Outperform The Rest, anchors this conversation and brings together decades of research showing that great teams are not the inevitable result of great individuals but the product of intentional cultures that enable people to listen, challenge, support, and adapt together. In our discussion, Vanessa explores the evolution of emotional intelligence in the workplace, the persistent resistance to emotional concepts in both academia and business, and the growing gap between individual achievement systems and the collective realities of modern work. She explains why leaders must think more like coaches, why norms matter more than personalities, how remote work demands more deliberate emotional connection, and why teams must continually review and recalibrate their dynamics to sustain high performance. Drawing on insights from social neuroscience, organizational psychology, and global fieldwork, she shows how belonging, shared understanding, and a sense of influence are not "soft skills" but hard prerequisites for collaboration in an increasingly polarized and distracted world.

What does it take to build a team that consistently performs at a high level? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dr. Vanessa Druskat to explore what emotionally intelligent teams look like and how leaders can foster them. Vanessa introduces the concept of "team emotional intelligence" and explains why team culture, not just individual skills or personalities, is often the key differentiator between average and high-performing teams. She shares her practical three-part model, based on nine team norms, that top teams use to create environments of trust, psychological safety, and accountability. Vanessa also discusses why emotionally intelligent teams are fundamentally about how people interact, not just how they feel. She reveals what leaders should do in the first meeting of a new team to set the tone for long-term performance, and why nonverbal behaviors and small habits matter more than you think.

Most executives still chase superstar hires, assuming great individuals will automatically form great teams. In this Partnering Leadership conversation, Dr. Vanessa Druskat brings research depth and field-tested experience to make a different case. She is the author of The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest and a leading voice on how team norms drive performance. Her central claim is practical and testable. Outperformance comes from a clear system of team norms that reliably produce trust, candor, and real debate.Druskat explains why experienced leadership teams underdeliver even with strong résumés. Status and power dominate airtime. Quiet voices go unheard. The organization leaves talent on the table. Her work shows that ordinary teams become extraordinary when leaders codify the right norms, invite every voice, and convert distributed knowledge into better decisions.The episode organizes Team Emotional Intelligence into three buckets you can put to work fast. First, Belonging. People feel known, valued, and supported. Second, Learning Together. The team reviews what is working and what is not, and every voice participates in the analysis. Third, Outside In. The team seeks ideas and pressure tests beyond the group, including customers and friendly skeptics. Druskat ties these norms to psychological safety and faster, higher quality decisions, with concrete examples like 60-second check-ins, round-robins on live decisions, and five-minute debriefs.For time-pressed CEOs, the playbook is efficient. Start with an all-voices baseline to gauge current norms. Leaders often see a rosier picture than the team. Then pilot small behaviors in leadership meetings. Shift time from presenting to exchanging information and deciding. Add a short debrief after key moments. Druskat shares examples from executive teams and clinical settings where simple routines quickly lifted collaboration and results.She closes by tackling a stubborn myth. Hiring matters, but interactions matter more. Teams with average talent and superior norms outperform star teams with poor interactions. If your board expects speed, quality decisions, and execution, engineer the team's operating system, not just its org chart.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn a practical definition of Team Emotional Intelligence that senior leaders can measure and manage, not a feel-good idea.Hear how to use three buckets of norms to raise decision quality and execution speed.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm joined by Vanessa Druscat. Vanessa is an associate professor at the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire. As an internationally recognized leadership and team performance expert, she advises leaders and teams at over a dozen Fortune 500 and Fortune Global 500 companies. She has a new book out called The Emotionally Intelligent Team.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anybody who wants to unlock stronger collaboration, cohesion, and performance in their organizations by building emotionally intelligent teams.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…teams don't thrive just because the right people are in the room. They thrive when leaders create the conditions for connection, trust, and continuous improvement. In this conversation, Vanessa Druskat shares what decades of research reveal about emotionally intelligent teams and discusses how to transform a group of individuals into a high-performing, collaborative team.    KEY TAKEAWAYS… Teams perform better when leaders address core emotional needs like belonging and recognition. High-performing teams take time to really know one another, beyond just titles and roles. Every voice matters and innovation often comes from unexpected perspectives. Leaders don't need to have all the answers but they do need to ask the right questions and listen.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Vanessa's reminder that emotionally intelligent teams aren't just “nicer” to work in, they're more effective. Taking time to build connection and belonging is a performance multiplier.   Running Time: 30:57   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Vanessa Online: LinkedIn Website   Vanessa's Book: The Emotionally Intelligent Team: Building Collaborative Groups that Outperform the Rest

In this heart-to-heart episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with my 19-year-old son, Ethan Hagner, for a raw and honest conversation about growing up, gaining independence, and building strong family bonds in the process. Together, we explore what it means to transition from teenager to young adult while still staying connected to family values, respect, and open communication.   We dive into how to respectfully disagree with parents, how to manage emotions in a healthy way, and the importance of creating space without disconnection. Ethan shares his personal experiences—from turning down college parties to navigating long-distance relationships—and how he's developed healthy coping mechanisms like ice baths, workouts, and prayer.   This episode isn't just for parents of teens. It's for any father who wants to lead his family with grace, patience, and intention—and raise young men of character in a chaotic world.   TIMELINE SUMMARY   [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement [1:01] - Raising independent, critical-thinking kids [2:12] - Respectful disagreements with parents and communication [3:02] - Pumpkin spice protein ice cream (yes, seriously) [5:03] - The scary truth about a Starbucks PSL's sugar content [6:42] - Why protein-first choices matter for men's health [9:34] - Introducing today's topic: family ties and independence [10:02] - Life after high school: structure vs. freedom [11:52] - Taking initiative as a young adult [13:35] - Visiting college friends and choosing not to party [15:12] - Why making different choices matters to dads [16:13] - Navigating peer pressure and honoring your values [17:02] - “Liquor is poison in a fancy bottle” – a mindset shift [18:01] - Recognizing alcohol for what it is: a toxin [21:03] - Creating safe space for respectful disagreements [23:04] - How to make kids feel seen, heard, and understood [25:21] - All emotions are welcome, not all behaviors are [26:26] - Ethan's favorite stress relief tool: beating up “Bob” [27:37] - Navigating long-distance relationships as a teen [29:13] - Classical music, cards, and healthy distraction [30:23] - Coping mechanisms that actually improve your life [32:05] - Ice plunges and dopamine boosts [34:20] - Why saunas win over cold plunges for dad [36:26] - A reminder: every man needs a list of positive go-to's [37:15] - The highs and fears of new independence [39:17] - What scares Ethan most about his future path [40:02] - Why dad feels the clock ticking at age 50 [42:25] - Book launch: The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood [43:17] - Two free bonus courses for a limited time [44:15] - Why this father-son podcast is one-of-a-kind [46:00] - Temptation and faith: how Ethan calls on God [48:01] - God always provides a way out of temptation   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1.

All Emotions Are Welcome—Not All Behaviors Are Feeling anger, sadness, or frustration is normal. Acting with intention is what matters.   3. Respectful Disagreements Build Connection When parents create space for respectful pushback, kids learn how to think critically while staying connected.   4. Healthy Coping Mechanisms Are Essential From ice baths and workouts to music and prayer, having go-to tools keeps stress from taking control.   5. Faith and Intention Defeat Temptation Whether it's porn, partying, or self-doubt, Ethan reminds us that calling on God in moments of weakness gives us strength to choose better.   LINKS & RESOURCES   Order the new book: The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood: https://thedadedge.com/legendarybook  Free Courses for a Limited Time: Creating More Patience Creating an Extraordinary Marriage   Episode page: https://thedadedge.com/1376   First Phorm Pumpkin Spice Protein: Only available for a limited time — https://1stphorm.com/collections/pumpkin-spice   James Swanwick's Alcohol-Free Program: https://www.jamesswanwick.com

Here's the truth: Raising emotionally intelligent kids isn't about making sure they say “please” and “thank you.” It's about raising little humans who can actually handle big feelings, express themselves without melting down (well, most of the time), and build relationships that don't implode at the first sign of conflict. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the underrated superpower that will serve your kids long after they've forgotten their multiplication tables. From playground drama to career success to healthy adult relationships, EQ is the thread that ties it all together. And while it doesn't come with a manual (seriously, why don't hospitals hand that out with the newborn onesie?), there are some universal truths every parent needs to know. To help us break it down, we're joined by Alyssa Blask Campbell. With years of experience teaching parents and kids how to build emotional awareness, resilience, and connection, Alyssa has made it her mission to help families thrive from the inside out. In this conversation, she shares practical strategies, science-backed insights, and the FACTS about what it really takes to raise kids who can navigate their emotions (instead of being ruled by them). Because let's be honest: you don't just want your kids to be successful — you want them to be good humans. And that starts with emotional intelligence.
