Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Scott Walker who spent 16 years as a Scotland Yard detective. Scott and Andy delve into lessons on emotional intelligence and negotiation skills gleaned from Scott's new book Order out of Chaos: Win Every Negotiation, Thrive in Adversity, and Become a World-Class Communicator. Key takeaways include seeking to understand before being understood, managing emotional states, and using empathy to build trust. Walker also discusses the importance of buying time and, interestingly, feeding egos in negotiations. It's an engaging discussion with one of the world's most experienced kidnap-for-ransom negotiators. Sound Bites "Negotiation is simply a conversation with a purpose." "Kidnappers are businessmen looking to get the right deal for them." "Feeding their ego doesn't mean flattering them. It's about acknowledging their needs and concerns, making them feel heard." "Success leaves clues." "We need to get out of our own way, suspend our own ego, seek to understand before being understood." "If you can visualize a negative outcome closely enough, you train your body and mind to get through it, reducing the power that fear can have over you." "More Sherlock Holmes than Gordon Gecko."

When Emotions Are Rising On Your Project Let's say you're sitting in a meeting tomorrow for a project you are leading. You're looking to get sign-off and, based on the pre-meetings you had with key stakeholders, the meeting should go smoothly. But seemingly out of the blue, a key stakeholder speaks up and starts sharing objections. Right there in front of everyone, which includes your boss, by the way. Things are starting to derail and you can feel some anger starting to build up. If we could see a thought bubble over you, you might be saying, “I can't believe they're sabotaging this! They didn't bring any of this up when we talked about it before the meeting! They're throwing me and my project under the bus!” That's a pivotal leadership moment right there. Maybe for you, it's a demanding boss. Or a deeply emotional situation outside of work. The critical issue is this: How do we respond? Does it help, or do we make it worse? How do we navigate the emotional rollercoaster of leading teams and projects—and families and friendships? Our ability to do that can make an enormous difference in our careers and life. In this episode, we're continuing a series of discussions on the topic of our emotions. And I'm excited to introduce you to Dr. Julia Digangi. For many years, Julia has worked with individuals who have endured the worst traumas, from survivors of domestic abuse to combat veterans, and helped them transform their energy and rise to powerful new heights. Based on her experience, she has recently published a remarkably insightful new book Energy Rising: The Neuroscience of Leading with Emotional Power. What I love about this book is that it gives a perspective on navigating the emotional challenges of our life in a way I've not seen in any other books. It's deeply based in research and practice but it's accessible to all of us, even if we don't know our amygdala from our anterior cingulate cortex. Ha! You can learn more about Julia and her work at DrJuliaDigangi.com/. For more on this topic, check out: Episode 394, with Joshua Freedman about his book on emotional intelligence. Episode 395, with Josefine Campbell about her book on helping when you and your team are low on energy, and Episode 396, with Thomas Curran about his book on perfectionism. Gift a Loved One a Head Start With Their Career Do you know someone who is in college or maybe recently graduated? My experience is there are a growing number of people who dread being asked the question, “So, what's the plan?” When it comes to their career, they have no freaking idea! I bring this up because I want you to check out our new course entitled just that: No Freaking Idea: How to Navigate Career Uncertainty. It's a career guide for people who don't know what they want to do, and it has been so fun to hear the feedback on the course.

What Is Emotional Intelligence, Really? You've heard of emotional intelligence, right? You know it's important. But a lot of us haven't had formal training on the topic--or maybe it's been a while. In this episode, I'm excited to introduce you to Joshua Freedman, author of the international best-selling book At the Heart of Leadership: How to Get Results with Emotional Intelligence. Plenty of books can give you an academic understanding of emotional intelligence. But Joshua's book is immensely practical. It focuses on how to help us navigate situations, like that project meeting, because our lives are filled with situations where the stakes are high with our emotions. And Joshua is here to help us with that. I can't wait to share this discussion with you! Learn more about Joshua at JMFreedman.com/bio/. For more episodes on this topic, check out: Episode 184, with Daniel Shapiro about his book Negotiating the Nonnegotiable. It's a deeply insightful book that will help you navigate the emotional side of conflicts. I highly recommend this episode! Episode 108, with Doug Stone about his book Thanks for the Feedback, and Episode 185, with Mitch Warner from the Arbinger Institute about their book Leadership and Self-Deception.   Gift a Loved One a Head Start With Their Career Do you know someone who is in college or maybe recently graduated?

I bring this up because we're rolling out a new course entitled just that: No Freaking Idea: How to Navigate Career Uncertainty. It's a career guide for people who don't know what they want to do, and it has been so fun to hear the feedback on the course.

In today's episode, we explore the fascinating topic of emotional intelligence and its profound impact on business performance. We'll uncover how understanding and harnessing emotions can drive success, productivity, and effective decision-making within organizations. Our guest, Joshua Freedman, one of the world's top experts on leveraging emotional intelligence for business performance with 25 years of experience, is a co-founder of Six Seconds—the world's first global nonprofit dedicated to growing EQ. And in addition to being the leader of the world's largest study of emotional intelligence, called State of the Heart, he has also published six validated assessments, 5 books, and an incredible library of business cases and articles. Join us as we discuss strategies, real-life examples, and practical tips for leveraging emotional intelligence to unlock your team's potential and drive business growth. The episode starts with Joshua explaining what emotional intelligence is and using emotional data to help us understand ourselves and guide us towards where we want to go. How it's about accurately acquiring emotional data and effectively using it. He talks about how the feedback you receive from other people is what determines the accuracy of your data. Joshua shares his experience with a journalist who visited the school he was working at to introduce to them the concept of emotional intelligence, which piqued the interest of a lot of people who started asking how it can be used. This led to them starting an organization in 1997 to answer that question, the question of how we can practically use emotional intelligence in our lives. The organization eventually grew into having programs in 150 countries from people of different unions, sectors, and companies now certified in using their methods and tools. He talks about how they have learning tools that can help people from whatever level of familiarity you have towards emotional intelligence, even children.

Joshua Freedman is the co-founder and CEO of Six Seconds, a global non-profit dedicated to teaching people how to use emotional intelligence (EQ). He is a master certified coach, an instructor for Columbia Teachers College Summer Principals Academy, and for Antioch University. He is also the author of 5 emotional intelligence books, including the best-selling At the Heart of Leadership: How to Get Results with Emotional Intelligence.  Show-Notes:“Emotional Intelligence is about getting this emotional data and using it to effectively solve problems.” [9:56] What is emotional intelligence? What is it not? EQ expert Josh Freedman dispels the myths and explains how emotional intelligence is more than just being nice and positive. There is not one single way to be emotionally intelligent; there are many ways to find resolutions—confronting, ignoring, and working through—all of which are unique to the problem and other emotional factors. “When people feel more anxious and isolated, they move into more primal reactions…  This kind of tribalism is part of what we're seeing in polarization, not just in the US but all over the world.” [20:22] Josh comments on the problems and difficulties caused by these tribal reactions, as seen in the decline of EQ in the last two years. It's hard to love, to lead, to collaborate…  Making the presence of EQ more valuable and important than ever before. “I'm not saying change who you are; I'm saying use who you are and use it better to get the results you're really looking for. Not just short term wins.” [27:28] We all have the ability to learn and grow.  It may take time and maybe be a big shift, but Josh says with work, it is possible. And as Marcel says, you need to exercise those emotional muscles, to create new synapses and increase emotional intelligence.“[As leaders, we need to think], let me understand what's going on for this person or this group of people and figure out what's going on and how we can overcome that so we can work together and get results.” [35:14] There is no denying that there is a great generational difference in EQ. Josh dives into the research of State of the Heart, where he explains that post pandemic the younger generations, Gen Z and Millennials experience the greatest loss in connection. This creates a big emotional barrier at work, especially when generations are coming into the same place of work on different playing fields.“EQ values have to become part of the DNA of how you work.” [38:22] Okay, leaders, you're all in and ready to invest in the EQ of your organization… Josh tells you what not to do, slap a training on the sign or haphazardly invest in an external coach. While coaching and training are important, Josh and Marcel agree that the values and actions of emotional intelligence must be reinforced and become ingrained in the organization.“That little pivot from I to WE (I'm seeing this; how can WE work on it?) will totally shift your conversations around performance and motivation.” [42:16] Josh has a practical tip for leaders on employee motivation. You don't have to sacrifice performance for EQ; instead, you will find greater performance. The key is to think….are we leading tasks or are we leading people?Mentioned in this episode:State of the Heart EQ ResearchSix Seconds Six Seconds | LinkedInSix Seconds (@6secondseq) on InstagramSix Seconds (@6secondseq) on Twitter Six Seconds on Facebook

Our Emotional Intelligence – our ability to be smarter with our feelings and to be able to leverage this understanding to help us make better decisions – correlates with success factors like effectiveness, relationships, well-being, and quality of life. In other words: It's important. Today we're speaking with Joshua Freedman, cofounder and CEO and founder of Six Seconds about generational differences in Emotional Intelligence and what this means for leaders at work and society at large. Topics include: The surprising difference in empathy scores between men and women. The importance of collaboration, connection, and sense of community to emotional well-being and what it means in a hybrid work environment. If it's possible to have a successful, perpetual, super hard-core work environment.

“Before you look at your future, reflect on your past.” (Sam Ade, author of the book Wisdom Untold[i]). Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for a special EPISODE #267, where we will look back over the past year and review the TOP 10 most listened to episodes of 2022, as chosen by you, the listener.  For those of you returning, welcome back, and for those new here, I'm Andrea Samadi, an author and educator who launched this podcast 3.5 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain (and mind) is for our everyday life and results. We've pulled in some of the world's leading experts, authors, and researchers in the field of education, sports and workplace productivity, and while I knew we had hit the Top 20 Best Neuroscience Podcasts over the years, I had no idea until recently that we've now been included on the 35 Best Neuroscience Podcasts to Follow in 2023[ii], or that we've been rated in the top 1.5% of all podcasts, globally,[iii] out of 3 million.  As I'm reflecting back at the end of this year, I have to say that I couldn't have hit these accomplishments with the brilliant guests who come on the podcast, or without you, the listener, tuning in, so a huge thank you to our past guests, and listeners for making our show a success as we move into a New Year, and approach our 4th year anniversary of this podcast.   To reflect on this past year, I first pulled this report in December, and 4 episodes made the TOP 10 list in the past year, that were recorded in December 2021, so I ‘ll be mentioning these important episodes that came in at the end of last year after at the end of this countdown. As we are approaching a New Year, many of us have our first few quarters (or beyond) of 2023 planned out already, but before we leap into the freshness of a New Year, if you haven't reflected on the wins you've attained in the past year, this is probably the most important step of closing out an old year, and moving into a new one. I learned this year-end ritual from Jim Bunch[iv], who has been walking me through this year-end wrap up for the past 8 years at least, preparing those who tune in all over the world, for a fresh mind moving into the New Year. I put the REPLAY of his event from earlier this month, in the show notes, and did cover his process of creating energy from your 9 environments on EPISODE #103[v]  that launched our year back in 2021, with “The Neuroscience of Leadership: 3 Ways to Reset, Recharge and Refuel Your Brain.” On this episode, we review the process of self-reflection, and evaluate the areas of your life (your 9 environments) to notice where energy might be leaking, that you could direct somewhere else in the New Year. This self-reflection activity is a good way to close out an old year, and move into a new one, as it allows you to put some thought into your WINS, and what worked well for you in the past year. He has a printable download that goes with this activity, and what's interesting, is that without looking at your calendar, just by going off the top of your head, see if you can write out some of your wins. Without some deep reflection, you will notice that it's EASY to see the things that went wrong last year (the losses) but to see the WINS, it takes serious thought, because of our built-in negativity bias, that Dr. Rick Hanson tells us to remember---“our brain is like Velcro for negative experiences (we are attracted to the negative experiences) but our positive experiences, slide off like Teflon.” We must be intentional about reflecting on the positives that we incurred, and integrate these wins into our identity, before moving into a New Year. This practice will guarantee that you are building a stronger, better, more improved version of you, each year.   Now for the TOP 10 most listened to episodes of 2022-as voted by you, the listener! #1: We have our review of Napoleon Hill's bestselling Think and Grow Rich book, “How to Make 2022 Your Best Year Ever” with over 1600 downloads. I absolutely love that you loved this episode as much as I did, as I thought long and hard about what I could write that could possibly make an impact on ALL of us. While thinking about what to write at the start of the year, that would be better than what we did last year, EPISODE #103[vi], “The Neuroscience of Leadership: 3 Ways to Reset, Recharge and Refuel Your Brain” I wanted to cover something that would go beyond where we went last year. I'm sure I'm not the only competitive one out there who wants to beat prior year's results, so I looked long and hard around my office, with a blank WORD document open on my computer, thinking about what I could possibly cover that would take us ALL to new heights, or levels of thought, and then I saw it. I'd been studying Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book, every year, with Paul Martinelli, since 2019. Each year, I'd use the same notebook, and would add something new to help launch my year. Instead of keeping these notes in this notebook, for myself to read, I put everything I'd studied, in this 6 PART review of this classic book that to date has sold over 70 million copies since it was published in 1937. This is the same book, that my mentor Bob Proctor had spent his entire lifetime studying. #2 PART 6 of Our Think and Grow Rich Book Review EPISODE #196[vii] “In Memory of Bob Proctor: The Neuroscience Behind the 15 Success Principles of Think and Grow Rich” Little did I know when starting this book review, that Bob would become gravely ill, as I was completing the FINAL PART of this review, PART 6, and our 2nd most downloaded episode #196, that I recorded on February 3rd, 2022, the day before Bob passed away. I was in constant communication with Patti Knoles, who worked with me in those early days in the seminar industry, so I knew that this final episode needed to be dedicated to Bob, but I changed the title to “In Memory of the Legendary Bob Proctor” the next day, when he passed away, and I must have read the ending to this episode 100 times. The final episode of this book review ends like this…   What a legacy this man left the world, and I'm grateful that you chose the final part of this book review, as #2. #3 On a lighter note, we welcomed back David A Sousa to the podcast, for EPISODE #197[viii] on “What's NEW with the 6th Edition of How the Brain Learns” where Dr. Sousa dove deeper into his popular brain-based series that's been helping educators around the world to connect neuroscience to learning together. #4 We covered “The Neuroscience Behind Self-Belief and Our Identity” on EPISODE #199[ix] that I dedicated to my friend Patti Knoles, after meeting up with her for coffee where we reminisced about how much we had learned over the years from all of the speakers in the motivational speaking industry, but most of all, that it gave us an unwavering belief about where we would go from here. It was powerful for me to see where self-belief and awareness exists in the brain, and this  will help us with whatever it is that you are working on, so that you can leave an important legacy in the world with your talents and ideas. #5, you chose EPISODE #198[x] with Mood and Stress Expert Erika Ferst on “Using Your Brain to Prevent Workplace Burnout” showing me how important it is that we all have strategies to reduce stress in the workplace and #8, you chose EPISODE #188[xi] with Nick Jonsson on “Strategies to Overcome Isolation, Stress, Anxiety in the Workplace” reaffirming that with the rise of mental health issues, of the important of making mental and physical health a priority in our daily lives. This is what led me to end the year focusing on The Silva Method, with strategies that we can all use to implement a mediation practice into our day, or improve it, if we have one in place. #6 you chose emotional intelligence pioneer Joshua Freedman, and EPISODE #202[xii] who has connections to Daniel Goleman's earliest work. #7 was EPISODE #210[xiii] with Dr. Jon Finn, the author of the best-selling book, The Habit Mechanic, which has over 20 years of Dr. Finn's experience on maximizing human potential using an understanding of how our brain and body work. #8 we mentioned already with Nick Jonsson. #9 was our 200th milestone episode[xiv] with my husband, Majid Samadi, who first appeared on EPISODE 1, and returned to review why we started this podcast in the first place. #10 EPISODE #208[xv] with Blaine Oelkers, is a good episode to launch a New Year with as he made many connections to our book review of Think and Grow Rich. 4 EPISODES that missed the 2022 list, because they were recorded in December 2021 were:   EPISODE #189[xvi] on “Understanding Hormesis: Why Stress and Adversity Make Us Physically and Mentally Stronger” was at the top of the list, and a good reminder to ALWAYS include something difficult or arduous in your daily or at least weekly schedule, to build resilience. EPISODE #186[xvii] on “Using Neuroscience to Understand the Introverted and Extroverted Brain” surprised me when I saw this one at the top, but it shows me that it helps us to find ways that we can learn to understand each other. Dr. Simone Alicia, The Self-Esteem Doctor, EPISODE #183[xviii] on “Self-Esteem: Why We Have It to Succeed” and finally, there was EPISODE #185[xix], “Using Neuroscience to Repattern Our Brain” based on our interview #184[xx] with Adele Spraggon, on “Using Science to Break Up with Your Bad Habits for a Successful 2022” that I just received a comment about yesterday. If you've missed any of these episodes, these were all TOP RATED by you, the listener. My Personal Favorites That Impacted Me the Most: The top 10 list, was chosen by you, but to close out this episode, I want to include the episodes that made an impact on me this year. I can't reflect back on this year with mentioning #207 with the Co-founder of CoveyLink, Greg Link on “Unleashing Greatness with Neuroscience, SEL, Trust and the 7 Habits” with over 1300 downloads, because this interview was a clear example of “The Speed of Trust” that “is the shortest route to results” (Robert Allen). I hadn't spoken to Greg in years when I asked him to do this interview but “when trust is high, communication is instant and effective.” There's nothing like the speed of trust. When you see it, know it's something very special, and rare and it's “a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution” (Dr. Stephen R. Covey). When you have the Speed of Trust, know that is has been earned, so treasure and nurture it, as it can also be lost quickly and is very difficult to get back. I also loved reconnecting with Paranormal Researcher, Ryan O'Neill on EPISODE #203[xxi] this year, as his story is one of true dedication where he has now rose to the top of his field, experiencing wild success, that might appear to look like it happened overnight but in reality, it took 15 years of hard work! Then there was #201[xxii] on the “Lessons Learned from Our Top 10 All-time Episodes on The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast” took me on a trip down memory lane over the past 3.5 years, and finally, EPISODE #233[xxiii] where we covered the Top 12 Most Viewed YouTube video interviews of all time. Just looking at this list, I can see why these interviews were highly engaging for those watching, and I hope that you can review all of our previous YouTube videos[xxiv], if you have only ever listened to the audio versions. To close out this EPISODE, and our review of our TOP 10 most listened to podcast episodes of 2022, I want to again thank you, the listener for tuning in, and helping us to reach the milestones we hit each year. Without our brilliant guests, or engaged listeners, there is no podcast. I look forward to continuing to share what's new in the field of neuroscience, as it connects to our schools, sports and modern workplaces in the New Year…and with that, I'll see you next year.

“Any new beginning is forged from the shards of the past, not from the abandonment of the past.” Craig Lounsbrough   Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/M45pacbfyqA On this episode we will cover: ✔ Soren Kaplan's background, and how he became interested in helping high level businesses breakthrough to new heights. ✔ How he has met and worked with some of the world's most well known experts in leadership and innovation. ✔ Where his innate strengths, talents and skills emerged from, skyrocketing his career and personal success. ✔ How we can ALL tap into the missing ingredient he discovered that leads to high levels of success and breakthroughs. ✔ How we can use this missing ingredient that he calls EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ) to become better leaders, increase collaboration, innovation and results at home or in the workplace. ✔ How EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ) compliments IQ and EQ. ✔ A simple formula for decoding our own EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ). ✔ How to use EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ) with teams, or individuals. ✔ The research behind EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ). ✔ How companies like Google, Apple, IBM and Tesla are embracing EXPERIENTIAL INTELLIGENCE (XQ). When it comes to closing out an old year, and moving into a new one, goal-setting and mindset is at the top of mind for all of us, to jumpstart our New Year on the right foot. This week, I'm in the middle of writing out our TOP 10 episodes of 2022, and getting my head around the final PART of our book review of the Silva Method and I'm thinking about how I can personally improve where we are now with the podcast, to keep moving us all forward with engaging content and speakers that can us to reach new heights with our brain in mind in 2023 and beyond. I wondered, “what am I missing that I haven't covered yet, that could help move all of us to greater heights?” We have gone deep on this podcast in the past year with using an understanding of our brain to improve our mental and physical health and wellbeing, especially as this all relates to our learning, and we're now slowing down the year for the holidays, uncovering some new ways to meditate with The Silva Method,[i] and other episodes that we'll be releasing over the last few weeks of this year to help us to improve creativity, our intuition and focus, but before we close out this year, I wonder, what else is there that can help drive transformation in our schools, sports environments and workplaces? I've been thinking about this for the past few weeks, and then I met our next guest, Soren Kaplan, Ph.D., a bestselling and award-winning author, a Columnist for Inc. Magazine, and an affiliate at the Center for Effective Organizations at USC's Marshall School of Business. Business Insider and the Thinkers50 have recognized him as one of the world's top management thought leaders and consultants.  I was introduced to Soren Kaplan via email letting me know about his NEW book called Experiential Intelligence: (that's about how to) Harness the Power for Personal and Business Breakthroughs[ii] that follows his other successful books Leapfrogging: The Power of Surprise for Business Breakthroughs[iii] and The Invisible Advantage[iv]. I immediately thought, “This is it! This is what I've been looking for. Something else that we can tap into that can be used to transform ourselves, our teams, and our organizations” and something entirely NEW, giving us that “breakthrough” advantage, or quantum leap that I've been mentioning all year with Price Pritchett's You2 book. When I began reading Soren's book, I noticed from the praise and testimonials at the start, that his supporters were all high levels leaders, sharing what they had learned from Soren's book, and how “the ability to understand your inherent capabilities as a product of life experiences is the essence of (what Soren has called) experiential intelligence” and how “leaders can harness XQ to unlock their own hidden strengths and that of their teams to drive transformation.” –Valencia Bembry, VP of Philanthropy, United Nations Foundation Today's Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #264 will cover Soren Kaplan Ph.D on “Experiential Intelligence: The Missing Ingredient for Unlocking Personal and Professional Success.” This will give me some more time to think a bit deeper on our final part of our review of The Silva Method that I could really use. I'm Andrea Samadi an author and an educator, who launched this podcast to help us to understand the science behind ANY high performance strategy proven to increase our results in our schools, sports, and modern workplaces. Before we meet Soren Kaplan, I want to share a bit about what he has discovered after 25 years of working with thousands of business leaders around the world. He says that Experiential Intelligence reveals how our past life experiences impact our present success and future opportunities in ways we often don't recognize. While we can't change what's happened to us or how we've responded to it, within our unique stories are hidden strengths waiting to be discovered. He says we can all do just that by uncovering our unique Experiential Intelligence (XQ)—or our internal fingerprint, that is a combination of the mindsets and abilities gained from our personal and professional life experiences. Just as memorizing facts doesn't give you a high IQ, your Experiential Intelligence isn't merely what you've learned over time. It's how you view opportunities, perceive challenges, and tackle goals. XQ can be leveraged for you to: Become a better leader Hire and develop talent using more strategic criteria Increase collaboration, innovation, and results Transform your organization's culture I had to sit and think for a moment after coming across Soren Kaplan's work, as we've covered emotional intelligence on the podcast, with EPISODE #202[v] most recently with Joshua Freedman on “Getting Results with Emotional Intelligence in our Schools and Workplaces” that remains on our TOP 10 most listened episodes of 2022, so I wondered how this NEW book could help us to uncover our hidden assets, remove invisible barriers limiting peak performance, and amplify strengths to achieve breakthroughs for ourselves personally, our teams, or our organizations.Let's meet Soren Kaplan and find out how we can all use Experiential Intelligence to breakthrough to new heights as we prepare to launch a new year. Welcome Soren Kaplan, thank you for coming on the podcast to share what you have discovered about this unique fingerprint that we all have-- that when tapped into, can transform our results.  Thanks for being here today! I'm excited to uncover some NEW breakthroughs with you. INTRODUCTION Q: Before I ask you WHAT you've discovered that you cover in your NEW book, Experiential Intelligence, I've got to start out with a SURPRISE question for you, that wasn't in the script, because I started reading your second book, Leapfrogging, about using the Power of Surprise for Business Breakthroughs that ties back to one of our earlier interviews on The Power of Surprise. Can we begin with a progression of your three books, and how you became interested in helping people “break through” to new heights and results? Q1: Looking through your website, and the praise of your best-selling and award-winning books, I saw leaders in business from around the world from 3M, to the CEO of PBS, to School Superintendents, but there was one person who caught my eye, as he was recognized as the world's most influential leadership thinker and then I saw that he wrote the foreword to book, Leapfrogging. How did you get to meet Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, who listeners might know as the author of the book, What Got You Here Won't Get You There? An excerpt from Dr. Marshall Goldsmith's foreword from the book, Leapfrogging. Q1B: How have you brought “lateral thinking” into the workplace? Q1C: Understanding XQ and all of its parts: how do we even begin to implement this concept that holds so many moving pieces that have been left out of our educational system and workplaces for years? Q2: Now that you have given us some history of what got you here, can you explain Experiential Intelligence and how it's different from IQ (Intellectual Intelligence) and EQ (Emotional Intelligence)? It's how you perceive challenges, view opportunities, and tackle your goals. Street Smarts The greater self-awareness you gain around your own Experiential Intelligence, the more you actually develop it and can use it to your advantage. Q2B: How does "XQ" complement IQ and EQ (Emotional Intelligence)? XQ introduces the third leg of the intelligence stool that's been there all along but is now equally important to recognize as a critical success factor in life and business. To deal with today's disruptive world, we need to first understand and then develop certain mindsets, abilities, and know-how to ensure we survive and thrive. These are the components of XQ Q3: For those of us who want to now look at our own XQ, How do we decode our own talents and strengths that come from our individual XQ? How exactly do life experiences create this "intelligence" and help develop our Experiential Intelligence?  To help our audience tap into their “XQ” what would you suggest? How can we tap into this intelligence for increased collaboration at work, leading to more innovation in 2023? Q3B: How does a team work with XQ? Q3C: Where do we begin to work with XQ? Q4: What research supports the ideas behind XQ? Q4B: How do you take into mind the research in this work, like connecting Dr. Bruce Perry and Oprah's book, What Happened to You with everyone we work and connect with? Q4C: Soren asks Andrea where she got the ability to make connections across different sectors, and why does she think these connections are important? Q5: What is the role of Experiential Intelligence in business, i.e., for leadership, teams, and organizational culture?  How does XQ play out in our workplaces? Companies including Google, Apple, Tesla, IBM, Home Depot, Bank of America, Starbucks, and Hilton no longer require a university degree for an interview. Many organizations haven't fully tapped into the mindsets, abilities, and know-how that inherently exists across their people and teams. Leaders first need to recognize that the reality of life, including in business, is that everyone brings the whole of who they are with them wherever they go, including both their strengths as well as self-limiting beliefs. Until companies embrace this fact, they'll never reach their full potential. Q6: Experiential Intelligence seems to have broad relevance and implications beyond business, is that true? Just like IQ and EQ, we all have XQ. That makes it relevant for parenting, education, personal relationships, psychology and more. Q7: Is there anything important that I've missed? How can we best assess or measure our Experiential Intelligence? XQ can be measured at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Teams and organizations are simply collections of individuals, so collective “team XQ” or “organization XQ” represent the collective Experiential Intelligence of a group. For example, if a team or organization shares a specific mindset around something, it influences the collective culture in the form of shared attitudes and beliefs. Soren Kaplan created an assessment that measures four dimensions of Experiential Intelligence. ‘Ability Appreciation' is your recognition that you possess specific strengths in the form of attitudes, assumptions, knowledge, or skills due to your unique experiences. ‘Impact Awareness' is your attunement to the impacts you've experienced in life and how to view and use them to your advantage. ‘Mindset Flexibility' is your awareness that your attitudes and beliefs will change over time based on your experiences. ‘Amplification' involves sharing your personal XQ journey while providing a safe, trusted space for others to openly share and receive your insight and encouragement at the same time. How an individual or group scores on these dimensions indicates whether they have a lower or higher level of XQ. Soren, I want to thank you very much for coming on the podcast, and sharing the work you've done with leaders around the world, to help our listeners to improve their QX this year for heightened results. For people who want to access the book, is the best place to go to your website? Andrea's Final Thoughts: I couldn't end this interview without sharing how much Soren's new book, Experiential Intelligence made me think. I was caught up in thought throughout the entire interview, and working on making XQ applicable for all of us. I was also surprised when Soren asked me a question. That's only ever happened ONCE in the three years I've been hosting this podcast. Dr. David Sousa surprised me with a question at the end of our first interview, asking me “what else can I answer for you?” and I had thought long and hard about the questions we had covered, and I wasn't expecting it, so I came up with something that really mattered to me at the end of our interview. I thought it was interesting that Soren noticed the connections I try to make during interviews.  It's something I've noticed comes naturally when I'm listening to someone, I'm looking to see if what they are saying could be applicable for us in any way, especially if I can tie in something important to neuroscience research. I recently noticed that staying sharp with this skill requires me to be well rested, eat a clean diet and stay as healthy as possible, tying in the health and wellness side to our podcast that's always there. Without our mental and physical wellbeing, everything else is impacted and I noticed it with my inability to make these connections with ease in the summer months, prior to changing some things in my diet. I shared this with Soren at the end of the interview, and he agreed that diet and nutrition have impacted his results as well. It's an undeniable difference for both of us. While editing this interview, I wanted to see if I could decode my XQ for an example, and if you watch the YouTube interview, you can see where I took a high impact experience from my high school years, when I was cut from playing basketball (after being on the team in previous years), and this experience conveyed to me that I wasn't good at sports, and the belief I formed over the years is that I need to work extra hard when it comes to sports. It's where I draw most of my resilience, strength and never give up attitude from. So instead of being mad at the coach who cut me from the team (Mr. Stein), I can now look at the wealth of experience learned that contributed to my knowledge and skills over the years. Try this activity yourself, and for those who want to access Chapter 1 of the book, you can get it for FREE from sorenkaplan.com The book comes out Jan. 24th, but if you have time over the holidays, this would be a good time to sit back, reflect and decode your unique fingerprint that contributes to your unique talents and strengths.  If you figure out anything eye-opening, I'd love to know, and Soren did say that mediation is another way to think and ponder about your life experiences, to help you to come up with your unique fingerprint. And with that being said, I'll close out this episode and see you again for PART 4 of The Silva Method in a few days. See you then.

Is There a Bottle Neck in Your Trust Pipeline? Up until 2019, global levels of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) were on the rise. However, recent data shows that our EQ has been steadily dropping since the pandemic. Take a moment to consider what this means for you as a leader. Furthermore, what does it mean in the context of attracting and keeping your top talent? Self-awareness, particularly emotional self-awareness, can be tricky when we haven't either developed or reinforced our emotional intelligence. Let's say that you have done your EQ training and even read a book or two on the subject, but do we genuinely understand what Emotional Intelligence is? Let's face it; emotions can seem like an inconvenient pain in that they come up when we don't want them to, and they can be challenging to understand. But what if emotions are the most crucial value your people can bring to your organization? Well, that's where we're going on our next couple of episodes with our guest Mr. Joshua Freedman.

Emotional Intelligence EQ Freedman is a leader in the field of emotional intelligence have a proven track record in helping many raise their own and others' performance with emotional intelligence. In this conversation with Josh, we develop an understanding of what EQ is and then how we can better understand it and use it to guide us in our life's purpose. Please enjoy! Guest Bio. Joshua Freedman is cofounder and CEO of Six Seconds -- the global community of emotional intelligence practitioners, researchers, and experts, working toward a billion people practicing EQ (www.6seconds.org). He is a master-certified coach (International Coaching Federation) and leader of the international EQ Coach Certification, an instructor for Columbia Teachers College Summer Principals Academy, and teaches professionals all around the world practical tools to measure and create value with emotional intelligence. Freedman's international bestselling book, At the Heart of Leadership, is one of five including Whole-Hearted Parenting. He leads two ongoing research projects, The Workplace Vitality Report, and The State of the Heart – which is the world's largest study of EQ. He's coauthor of the POP-UP Festival, in partnership with UNICEF World Children's Day, which is a free play-based curriculum introducing SEL to 1.5 million children and adults. Josh also appears regularly on youtube.com/sixseconds sharing insights on how to gain value from emotions.

Joshua Freedman is the CEO and founder of Six Seconds, the largest global network dedicated to emotional intelligence. In this podcast interview, he discusses his vision of leadership and how it has transformed over the years. He talks about how each organization needs to decide what it wants to optimize for, and how this will determine the culture that is built within the company. Freedman explains that emotional intelligence is a key ingredient in successful leadership, and that in order to achieve his vision of a world where emotional intelligence is widely practiced, he needs to build an organizational culture of ownership. This allows people to feel invested in the company and its mission, and ultimately leads to better results. Freedman argues that in order for change to happen within an organization, those in charge must be willing to change themselves. He believes that too often, senior leaders expect others to change without first taking responsibility for their own role in the problem. Only by confronting the reality of the situation and committing to change can performance improve. Joshua also discusses how emotional intelligence can be used to improve one's life and career. He also recommends exploring his website for more information on emotional intelligence, including assessment tools and development courses. Finally, he suggests taking advantage of the new coaching elearning course to help support people who are facing difficulties.

“We teach what we most need to learn” Joshua Freedman Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/xE0F0l9tbqo Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, EPISODE #202, with someone I've been wanting to speak with since the early days of launching our podcast. He's a specialist on emotional intelligence, with connections that link him to Daniel Goleman's[i]  earliest work, as the CEO and one of the co-founders of Six Seconds[ii], the global community growing emotional intelligence that began in 1997, around the time I had my AHA Moment and realized how important these skills are for our students in the classroom. He's an educator, author of 5 books, researcher and parent, who translates the latest neuroscience of emotion into practical insights we can all use to connect, solve problems, lead, and live better lives. On this episode you will learn: ✔︎  What led Joshua Freedman, one of the leading experts of emotional intelligence in our schools and workplaces, to discover the SEL/Neuroscience connection in the late 1990s. ✔︎ How the 6Seconds.org SEL Model is different than ALL other models and why EVERYONE working with SEL must see this model. ✔︎ A simple 3 step approach to implement emotional intelligence in our lives, as well as our students in the classroom, or in the workplace. ✔︎ How to use our emotions as a guidance system and what to be aware of with certain emotions (like trust). ✔︎ How to get involved with 6Seconds.org with their FREE SEL resources, assessments, programs and services.  Before I introduce you to this week's guest, I've got to say that for someone who has spearheaded the movement of EQ in our schools and workplaces for over 3 decades, his humble and kind nature will show you that he practices what he teaches. Welcome back.  I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of you listening, have been fascinated with learning and understanding and applying the science behind high performance strategies that we can use to improve our productivity in our schools, our sports, and workplace environments. My vision is to bring the experts to you, share their books, resources, and ideas to help you to implement their proven strategies, whether you are a teacher working in the classroom or in the corporate environment. Let's get right into this topic, and meet this week's guest, Joshua Freedman, the CEO of 6 Seconds, and dive into the field of emotional intelligence in our schools, sports and workplace environments. I know that after these questions, we will all look at “emotional intelligence” with a new lens. Welcome Joshua, it's wonderful to meet you after all the years I've followed your work. Joshua, I don't know if you know this, (or remember) as I know that you do many of these interviews, but when we first launched this podcast, I did reach out to you, and even had a spot on your calendar. You are the only interview to date that I wrote the week of, and said I needed more time to research you, because I didn't feel fully prepared for the interview. Do you remember this by chance? What happened—I usually read each person's book and come up with some questions on how their work applies to the field of SEL and neuroscience, but when I began to research you, I saw that where your work began, and realized I needed to think about your questions as one of the leaders behind the movement of this field of emotional intelligence, to bring more meaning to today's discussion and make sure I didn't leave anything out. A sincere thank you for speaking with me today and letting me thoroughly prepare the questions for you so we can go deep into this topic of how to get results with emotional intelligence. INTRO QUESTION: While researching your background, Joshua, I listened to some of your interviews[iii], and was surprised to see that your introduction to this field came in a similar way to mine. We were both first year teachers (you were at the Nueva Learning School in California in the early 1990s and I was a first-year teacher at Zion Middle School in Toronto 1996. Both of us felt overwhelmed with our experiences. Can you go back to your early days and think about what was missing back then? Why do you think we BOTH felt ill-equipped? And what's different today with the tools we have available for success in the classroom or in the workplace? Q1: This field has come a long way since we were both first year teachers. I know that over the years (like many others) we could see that these skills were important, and was always trying to push them forward (when I worked at Pearson Education I tried to put these skills into a software program that was designed for HS students, but I know the timing was off) or even when I was given grant funding to put the program I wrote into the schools in AZ and was told that for this field to gain traction, we need to include the science that backs the importance of these skills. I didn't make the neuroscientific connection with SEL until an educator guided me in this direction, but you did. Can you tell us how you made this connection, with the meaning behind 6 Seconds (the name of your company that you founded in 1987?) making the connection between neuroscience and SEL? Q1B: We launched this podcast with the goal to connect Neuroscience with SEL, diving into 6 SEL competencies that we chose that came from CASEL's 5 [iv], plus Carol Dweck's Mindset[v] work and we know how important IMPLEMENTING these competencies are. When I saw your 6 Seconds Model, it opened me up to how simple it can be to implement Emotional Intelligence skills.  Can we dive into your 6 Seconds Model[vi] that at the core of your programs and look at how we can implement EQ with a practical example in our school, sports environments, or workplaces? Andrea's SEL Model (CASEL's 5 Competencies plus Mindset) from Carol Dweck's work. 6 Seconds EQ Model (Know Yourself, Choose Yourself, Giver Yourself), becoming more aware, more intentional and more purposeful to live a more fulfilled life. Q1C: It's funny because the other day, after listening to one of your interviews, where you were told this bad emotion you felt “just is” and when you accept what you are feeling, it gives you some sense of peace. I thought back to how many times when something happens in our household and I say, “its ok, it just is” a glass breaks “it's ok, it just is.” Someone spills milk all of the floor, “it's ok, it just is.” So, I asked my girls “do you remember me saying this when something like this happens?” And getting feedback from your kids is always eye opening. They said “yes, you do say this ALL the time, but your face looks mad while you are saying it.” So, I'm still learning that to connect what I say with what I really feel to communicate authentically…and I really had no idea what I was saying wasn't matching up with how I was feeling (because I honestly don't care about the broken glass…but maybe the time to clean it up is what got me out of integrity…. now I can work on fixing this. How can we make sure that what we think and feel line up so that we can communicate what we intend to communicate? This was actually the quote I picked out that opens up this episode “We teach what we most need to learn.” Joshua Freedman Q2: The importance of naming our emotions is something we uncovered from our earlier interviews with Dr. Daniel Siegel[vii] who said, “Name it to Tame it” and even with Marc Brackett from the Yale Center of Emotional Intelligence with his book Permission to Feel.[viii]  I never began looking at my emotions (beyond this makes me happy/this doesn't) until in the neuroscience course I took, we studied neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp[ix] and his 7 emotional systems he believes to be present in each person's brain. He said, “neuroscience is the only path to understanding how we feel” which makes me want to connect what we feel to our brain. Your career began when you identified the emotion of “feeling depressed” with your first classroom experience, that I connected to. If you look at the table in the show notes that lists Panksepp's 7 core emotional systems, where do you think that “feeling depressed” would sit on these 7 emotions, and where does “feeling depressed” show up in our brain? Q3: What are some strategies for some of the most common ways people are feeling these days? When feeling low trust, how do you change that? When our work begins to feel meaningless, how do we bring it back to meaningful? What strategies do you find to be helpful for overcoming our bad feelings? Q4: Since you have had the vision of this work for over 3 decades, what have you seen over the years since your early days, and do you think schools and workplaces are taking these skills seriously now, compared to your early days? Q5: As we are coming to a close here, I want to be sure I haven't left anything important out. Is there anything important that I haven't asked you about? Thank you very much Joshua, for speaking with me, and diving deeper into the Neuroscience behind our emotions. For those people who want to connect with you, I've put a link to your website and social media accounts in the show notes.  Thank you for the work you are doing in this field, bringing more belief to the fact that our emotions are important guidance systems, that can help us to solve problems, connect with ourselves and others, and live a life with more meaning.

Mondays: Mindful Mentions - where I will highlight a person, book, organization, or topic that is top of mind for me that week, and one that I believing is worth sharing.Today, I want to share with you a phenomenal organization in the EQ space, called Six Seconds. When I first began my EQ journey, I went to the google to find additional resources, and stumbled across Six Seconds. While there're other websites out there focused on emotional intelligence, the majority of them give you a brief overview emotional intelligence, a brief list of benefits of emotional intelligence, and then offer you an EQ assessment or some type of training or certification. And that isn't all that helpful for those of us looking to take a deeper dive and find additional resources or support around the subject. What I found different and intriguing about Six Seconds was the depth and array of information and resources that they offered around emotional intelligence. Six Seconds offers cases studies, articles, trainings, workshops, conferences, networking events, and physical tools and resources for all ages and stages of life.This podcast is an act of love and much time has went into its production.

What’s really preventing us from enacting environmental change? Blame our brains, says Daniel Goleman, author of Ecological Intelligence. As he explains it, “The problem comes down to a design flaw in the human brain.” Evolution fine-tuned our brains to protect us from immediate survival threats – lions, tigers and bears. But long-term dangers, such as those that threaten our planet today, don’t register. “The problem is that we don't perceive, nor are we alarmed by, these changes,” says Goleman. “And so we're in this dilemma where we can show people, "Well, you know, your carbon footprint is this," but it doesn't really register in the same way as “there's a tiger around the block.” Facts alone aren't enough, he adds, “We need to find a more powerful way of framing them…a way which will activate the right set of emotions and get us moving.” George Lakoff, a linguistics professor at U.C. Berkeley, sees the issue as a moral, rather than environmental, crisis: “…the greatest moral crisis we have ever been in. It is the moral issue of our times and it’s seen just as an environmental issue.” But morality can mean different things to different people. This sets up a debate that quickly goes from the political to the personal, as Josh Freedman, author of Inside Change, points out. “When we start saying, "okay, they're good, and they're bad," what happens is we're actually fueling this threat system that is what's in the way of us actually solving these problems.” So what is the solution? How do we retune our primitive brains – and those of our political and business leaders -- to focus on a less than clear, less than present danger? Throughout the discussion, several key avenues rose to the top: economics, education and emotional appeal. If major institutions can be persuaded to divest from environmentally unsound companies, says Lakoff, “then what will happen is that the prices of the stocks will go down for those energy companies. When they go down that way, they stay down…you have an opportunity to shift investment away in a way that has an exponential feedback loop.” Educating today’s youth was a powerful and recurring theme for all the speakers. “What kids learn and tell their parents is important,” Goleman said. “Schools are a big counterforce that we can do a much better job of deploying in this battle for minds and heart.” Despite our primitive wiring, the speakers concluded, we humans do have the capacity for the ecological intelligence – and the morality – to effect global change. “Your morality is what defines who you are as a human being,” says Lakoff, “it's who you are emotionally and morally as a human being that matters in your life, what you do every day. This isn't a matter of compromise…we have, like, 35 years to turn this around, period. That's not long.” “All change starts on the inside,” says Freedman, “If we can support children and adults to connect with that capability and to develop what's already there, then things are going to get a lot better.” Daniel Goleman, Author, Ecological Intelligence: The Hidden Impacts of What We Buy (Crown Business, 2010) Joshua Freedman, CEO, Six Seconds; Author, Inside Change: Transforming Your Organization With Emotional Intelligence (Six Seconds, 2010) George Lakoff, Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley and author of many books, including The Political Mind: A Cognitive Scientist's Guide to Your Brain and Its Politics (Penguin Books, 2009) This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on May 1, 2014.

When they go down that way, they stay down…you have an opportunity to shift investment away in a way that has an exponential feedback loop.” Educating today’s youth was a powerful and recurring theme for all the speakers. “What kids learn and tell their parents is important,” Goleman said. “Schools are a big counterforce that we can do a much better job of deploying in this battle for minds and heart.” Despite our primitive wiring, the speakers concluded, we humans do have the capacity for the ecological intelligence – and the morality – to effect global change. “Your morality is what defines who you are as a human being,” says Lakoff, “it's who you are emotionally and morally as a human being that matters in your life, what you do every day. This isn't a matter of compromise…we have, like, 35 years to turn this around, period. That's not long.” “All change starts on the inside,” says Freedman, “If we can support children and adults to connect with that capability and to develop what's already there, then things are going to get a lot better.” Daniel Goleman, Author, Ecological Intelligence: The Hidden Impacts of What We Buy (Crown Business, 2010) Joshua Freedman, CEO, Six Seconds; Author, Inside Change: Transforming Your Organization With Emotional Intelligence (Six Seconds, 2010) George Lakoff, Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley and author of many books, including The Political Mind: A Cognitive Scientist's Guide to Your Brain and Its Politics (Penguin Books, 2009) This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on May 1, 2014.
