Podcasts about peer coaching

As our workplaces grow more complex and technology accelerates, one skill set is becoming more essential than ever: emotional intelligence. In this compelling episode of On the Brink, I spoke with Jeremy Williams, an emotional intelligence coach and consultant based in Paris, whose journey from sailing instructor to sales professional to global coach reveals how transformative emotional awareness can be—especially in our rapidly digitizing world. Jeremy's mission is simple yet profound: help individuals and teams enhance their self-awareness, empathy, and influence to become better collaborators and leaders. His work focuses on helping fast-growth companies develop cultures where people can thrive—and it starts with how we manage emotions, especially the tough ones. Jeremy's Journey: From the Sea to the C-Suite Jeremy began his career as a sailing instructor, where he discovered his passion for sharing knowledge. That passion carried him through various industries—from luxury motorcycles to real estate—before he transitioned into teaching business English in France. Eventually, he found his way into consulting with startups and tech companies. As these teams grew from five to fifty employees, Jeremy noticed a recurring issue: "soft skills"—now rightly called emotional intelligence—were the glue (or the gap) in how teams succeeded. It became clear: technical skills could only take a company so far. People needed to better understand themselves and each other. What Is Emotional Intelligence? As Jeremy explained, emotional intelligence isn't a single trait. It's a set of competencies that determine how well we relate to ourselves and others—especially when emotions run high. Drawing from the Genos model (based on Daniel Goleman's pioneering work), Jeremy outlined six key competencies: Self-Awareness – Recognizing your own emotional state and its impact. Awareness of Others – Showing empathy and tuning into how others feel. Authenticity – Acting with integrity and consistency; “standing in your own truth.” Emotional Reasoning – Blending logic and emotion to make sound decisions. Self-Management – Managing your reactions, especially in challenging moments. Positive Influence – Inspiring others with your emotional tone and leadership. In practice, this means pausing before reacting, being present during meetings (no multitasking!), and responding constructively to tension. As Jeremy put it: “It's how we positively deal with negative emotions.” If you prefer to watch our podcast, click here Peer Coaching for 60: A Simple but Powerful Model To foster these emotional competencies, Jeremy created the Peer Coaching for 60 program. It brings together four peers from different parts of an organization—or even different companies—for four one-hour sessions over four weeks. Each session gives one participant the “hot seat” to share a challenge, while peers actively listen, ask clarifying questions, and offer insights. Importantly, the participant steps away for part of the session to hear their peers discuss their issue candidly. It's powerful, humbling, and affirming. The outcome? Better problem-solving, stronger connections, and a growing global network of emotionally intelligent professionals. How Emotional Intelligence Drives Engagement Jeremy's work touches on a problem plaguing many companies today: low employee engagement. His prescription? Presence and intention. Leaders must “walk the talk”—not just display company values, but live them. Meetings should have purpose, with multitasking discouraged. He introduced the P.I.E.O. model to guide communication: Proof: What evidence supports taking action? Impact: What are the consequences of action or inaction? Energy: What resources are needed? Objective: How does this support company goals? Training employees to think and speak this way improves collaboration, productivity, and focus. AI and EQ: A Necessary Balance As we explored, AI is transforming business. But what it offers in speed, it lacks in humanity. AI pulls from averages and past data—but human insight, creativity, and relationships come from lived experience and emotion. Jeremy emphasized that the rise of AI only amplifies the importance of emotional intelligence. Roles focused on repetitive tasks will evolve. What will remain critical is how we build trust, nurture teams, and connect across cultures and experiences. Key Takeaways Emotional intelligence is your superpower in a world dominated by algorithms. Leaders must cultivate presence, empathy, and reflective decision-making. Peer coaching builds trust, insight, and leadership capacity in a scalable way. To improve engagement, simplify meetings, foster focused dialogue, and model authenticity. AI isn't replacing us—it's augmenting us. But what makes us human matters more than ever. Final Thoughts Jeremy's parting message was one of optimism: Embrace this technological era. Be curious. Stay connected. Lead with empathy. And above all, invest in building emotionally intelligent cultures where people can grow and thrive.

When you think of the key qualities of an effective leader, what words come to mind? Did you include the word GENEROUS? If not, you will add that word to your list after you listen to this conversation with guest Joe Davis. Joe is the author of a fantastic new book, The Generous Leader: 7 Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone's Gain. This important book is a must-read for every leader because it touches on so many areas that the best leaders learn and practice. Joe exemplifies the type of leader Meredith is always eager to have as a guest: he's focused his entire career on growing strong as a leader and helping others realize their potential. Joe is a Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group or BCG. In The Generous Leader, Joe shares a performance review he received that was a game-changer for him: He was told he was not the best at problem-solving solo; but with others, he could solve any challenge. His manager identified his key strength—a person who could connect with others.  Joe has leveraged that strength in his 35+ years at BCG in roles such as co-founding the Washington, DC, office and leading BCG North America.
