Welcome to On the Brink with Andi Simon, the podcast dedicated to helping you see, feel, and think in new ways so you can thrive in today's fast-changing world. Each episode, we bring stories and insights designed to spark innovation and personal growth. This episode explores the transformative power of emotional intelligence (EI), featuring insights from a renowned business psychologist, Dr. Robin Hills, who has impacted the lives of hundreds of thousands across the globe. In this episode of "On the Brink," we talk with Dr. Hills, a business psychologist and director of "EI4Change," about the crucial role of emotional intelligence (EI) in today's tech-driven world. We explore how EI aids personal and professional growth, especially amidst AI advancements and the pandemic's impact. Robin shares his journey into EI, emphasizing its importance in navigating emotions and relationships. Of great importance in understanding EI today is the generational challenges, the influence of technology on emotional skills, and the need for comprehensive EI education. The episode underscores the irreplaceable human qualities of empathy, creativity, and emotional awareness. If you prefer to watch the video, click here: Let's dig further into EI. Emotional intelligence is about being smart with your feelings—combining thinking and emotions to make sound decisions and build authentic relationships. At its core, it involves self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills. Developing EI is a lifelong journey, and it starts with recognizing your emotions and understanding how they influence your decisions and relationships. With practice, individuals can learn to respond wisely to emotions, even in challenging situations. Emotional Intelligence is essential to succeed in today's fast-changing world. In today's world, EI plays a critical role in navigating the complexities of life and work. As technology continues to advance, our emotional intelligence becomes even more essential, setting us apart from artificial intelligence. While AI can enhance our capabilities, it cannot replicate human creativity, empathy, or the ability to build meaningful connections. By embracing technology as a complement to our human skills, we can unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation. Developing EI requires a conscious effort to manage distractions, such as digital devices, and prioritize real-world interactions. It's important to foster emotional learning at all stages of life and create environments that value and nurture emotional intelligence. This includes teaching children the importance of empathy and social skills, as well as encouraging adults to reflect on their behaviors and adapt to changing circumstances. Key takeaways from this episode include: Cultivate self-awareness by regularly reflecting on your emotions and behaviors. Practice self-regulation by pausing before reacting and choosing responses that align with your values. Foster empathy and connection by actively listening and seeking to understand others. Listeners are encouraged to explore additional resources on emotional intelligence and consider how they can apply these principles in their own lives. Dr. Hills has two books available: "The Authority Guide to Emotional Resilience in Business" and "The Authority Guide to Emotional Resilience in Business," both published in The Authority Guide Series. By improving your emotional intelligence, you can lead more effectively, build stronger relationships, and adapt to the challenges of a rapidly evolving world. Thank you for joining this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon. Remember, change begins with seeing, feeling, and thinking differently.

Robin suggested a fresh perspective on emotional intelligence, emphasizing its complementary aspects to AI. Michael agreed, noting the importance of diverse viewpoints in discussions about AI. They planned to delve deeper into this topic during the show, with Robin offering insights from his experience working with senior leaders worldwide. Robin also shared his upcoming training program in the US. Emotional Intelligence and AI in the Workplace Michael expressed concern about the lack of coverage of emotional intelligence (Ei) in AI discussions. Robin then provided a clear definition of Ei as the ability to make good decisions and build authentic relationships by being 'smart' with one's emotions. She also discussed the increasing popularity and potential revolutionary impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, but emphasized that this does not mean humans will become redundant. Instead, she stressed the importance of identifying what differentiates humans from machine technology, specifically Ei. Technology's Impact on Employment and Job Creation Michael and Robin discussed the impact of technology on employment and job creation. They both agreed that while new technologies may cause initial concern and job displacement, they also create new opportunities and roles. They highlighted examples of this throughout history, including the advent of rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, and the rise of the internet and digital communication. They emphasized the importance of embracing new technologies and being adaptable to change. AI and Emotional Intelligence Discussion Michael discussed his positive experiences with using AI in his work, highlighting its efficiency and creativity benefits. However, Robin pointed out that AI and emotional intelligence (EI) cannot function independently of each other, as AI lacks the human capacity for leadership and building emotional connections. Both emphasized the importance of human experience and memory in navigating through life, contrasting it with the programmed responses of AI. They agreed that AI, while useful, should not replace human leadership and relationship building. AI, Emotional Intelligence, and Organizational Dynamics Michael and Robin discussed the potential and limitations of AI and emotional intelligence within an organizational context. Michael emphasized the importance of personalizing instructions for AI to function effectively, while Robin highlighted the inherent limitations of AI to understand and adapt to human emotions and nuances. They both agreed that emotional intelligence is essential for navigating the complexities of the future, and Robin proposed looking at an organization as a network of people, including all stakeholders, for a better understanding of its dynamics. Emotional Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence Limitations Robin emphasized the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership and asserted that, despite advancements in artificial intelligence, machines would never possess emotional intelligence due to the unique complexity of the human brain. Michael agreed, acknowledging the potential benefits of artificial intelligence but highlighting its limitations in replicating the human brain's complexity. Both agreed that emotional intelligence would remain a crucial factor in human interactions and leadership. Emotional Intelligence Collaboration and Networking Michael and Robin discussed Robin's work on emotional intelligence and her website, EiForChange.com, which offers free resources including a book.

When you think of emotional intelligence, there are still many leaders out there who falsely believe it has no place in business. Business is about logic, not emotions, right? Wrong. How can being aware of yourself and others not have a place in an environment where relationships are everything?My guest today is Robin Hills. He defines emotional intelligence and its core components, the role motivation and empathy play, and why AI won't take over anytime soon. He talks about resilience and shares strategies to manage stress and weather storms in the workplace. Finally, Robin shares a fascinating take on the Intelligence of Emotions and what useful information can be gathered when we learn to properly read emotions - both our own and those of others - so we can move forward and succeed. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.com Key Takeaways:Emotional intelligence is more than just the emotions themselves. But the emotions are what make us human. Leave the working without emotions to AI. When humans communicate and empathize with each other, we change each other in the processes, modifying the neural pathways in the brain. That interaction cannot happen in the same way with a robot. Emotional intelligence is always a work in progress. Whether you started studying it today or have been studying it for your entire life, there is always something more to learn. "Emotions drive our thinking, emotions drive our decision making, emotions drive everything that we do. Without emotional intelligence, we really are going to be just like the robots." — Robin Hills Episode References: Free Newsletter: Ei-Matters.comThe Empathy Edge: Dr. Michelle Zhou: Empathic AI is Real and It's Here – But We Need Everyone Involved!The Empathy Edge: Miniter Dial: How to Embed More Heart Into AIAbout Robin Hills, Director of Ei4Change, Business Psychologist, and Emotional Intelligence TrainerRobin is the director of Ei4Change, a company specializing in educational training, coaching and personal development focused around emotional intelligence, positive psychology and neuroscience.

Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss interviews Robin Hills, an expert in emotional intelligence and resilience. They discuss the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership and personal development. Robin explains that emotional intelligence is about being smart with your thinking and feelings, combining the two to make good decisions and build authentic relationships. He emphasizes that emotional intelligence is not about being kind and nice all the time, but about doing the right thing and managing emotions effectively. They also touch on the role of AI in emotional intelligence and the need for human elements in decision-making and relationship-building. Key Takeaways: Emotional intelligence is the ability to combine thinking and feelings to make good decisions and build authentic relationships. Emotional intelligence fluctuates and requires self-awareness and practice to improve. Leaders should understand the impact of their emotions on their team and work on building emotional intelligence to create a positive work environment. There are no positive or negative emotions; it's how we manage and respond to them that matters. Resilience is crucial in volatile and uncertain situations, and it involves being adaptable, creative, and finding meaning in life.

Emotional Intelligence Is A Sales Superpower On this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount sits down with Robin Hills, a business psychologist and expert in emotional intelligence from the UK. Emotional intelligence is the ability to combine thinking and feelings to make good decisions and build high-quality relationships. Emotional resilience is essential in sales, and it involves understanding and managing your own emotions to influence the emotions of others. Mental resilience is also important in sales, and it involves having a clear vision of what you want to achieve, being flexible and adaptable, and having a support network. Emotional resilience involves having a clear understanding of realistic optimism, which means having a clear vision of what you want to achieve, what outcomes you are looking for, and understanding that there is meaning in what you're doing. It's important to have a support network of people you can turn to for help, and to establish a relationship of trust with your manager. It's important to interrupt negative self-talk and replace it with something positive, such as listening to a podcast or reading a book. Complaining can turn a support group into a negative space, and it's important to have constructive conversations and avoid cynicism. Emotional intelligence is a concept that Daniel Goleman launched and popularized approximately 30 years ago. Robin began his career in sales in the 1980s and has been selling consistently ever since. Although he no longer holds the title of salesperson, he proudly wore that badge for well over a quarter of a century. Today, Robin's company Ei4Change (Emotional Intelligence 4 Change) coaches and trains individuals and organizations on emotional intelligence, positive psychology, and neuroscience in the workplace. What Is Emotional Intelligence? Emotional intelligence is the ability to combine your thinking with your feelings in order to build high-quality relationships and make authentic decisions. While it is a simple concept, it can be difficult to execute, particularly in situations with intense emotions or pressure. Relationships and decision-making play a crucial role in this process. It is essential to have high-quality relationships with people you can turn to and say, "Hey, I'm having a bad day. Can we talk about something other than work? Or do something together that can take my mind off things and help me get back to it tomorrow?" This allows you to step away from the situation and take a break. Salespeople, in general, are mentally resilient and must demonstrate high levels of emotional intelligence in order to be effective. Field-based salespeople, who may not work in an office, often need to motivate themselves and have an inner drive to sell to their clients. Salespeople handle a lot from customers and clients, and have good and bad days like everyone else. Emotional intelligence in sales involves understanding and managing your own emotions to influence the emotions of others. You Choose How You React to Your Emotions Emotions are a natural reaction to our environment, and we cannot control their occurrence. However, we can choose how we respond to them. Emotions prepare our body mentally and physically for events, and the intensity of emotions compounds with each event. At a certain point, emotions can become so intense that making a simple, effective choice becomes difficult. Experiencing fear, for example, is not something that we can control or prevent. In such moments, we are faced with a choice: do we react irrationally to our fear and potentially put ourselves in danger, or do we use the presence of our emotions as information to assist us in productive, clear decision-making? We can choose to become immobilized, paralyzed, or act out in self-destructive ways. and we can choose to handle our emotions, turn them into something constructive,
