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.

Robin is the author of two books, "The Authority Guide to Behavior and Business" and "The Authority Guide to Emotional Resilience in Business." He is also a keynote speaker and sits on the Northwest Committee of the Association of Business Psychology. 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,

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Robin Hills about emotional intelligence, emotional quotient, and psychometric profiling. He explains what they are and how people can learn how to use them to become more successful. To understand themselves, and what makes them make poor decisions so that they can change that and start to get out of their own way.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   For entrepreneurs, psychological resilience is important. Everyone can be more intelligent  Different organisational cultures have an impact on emotional intelligence in business. Emotional Quotients (EQ) are all measurable. Emotional Intelligence (EI) goes beyond EQ and looks at things that can´t necessarily be measured. Emotional Intelligence enables you to combine your thinking with your feelings to make good decisions. What you say and how you say it, has a massive impact. Take time to identify what it is that winds you up and stops you from making good decisions. Take time when you are under pressure to learn more about yourself. We are all emotional beings; we learn and make decisions based on our emotions. If you are angry all the time everyone around you, will be too. Don´t try to be something you are not. If you are not a good fit in an organisation, go elsewhere.   BEST MOMENTS ‘EQ is the emotional quotient. So, these are measures of how we use certain aspects of emotional intelligence. ´ ‘Emotional intelligence is the way in which you combine your thinking, with your feelings in order to make good decisions.' ‘What is it that stops you from making good decisions? What is it that you need to do in order to work better when these situations can occur?' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Do you want to build resilience, increase self awareness and improve your understanding of others? -Today more than ever I believe the entire world could benefit from all of these things.  Well it's a good thing this week I was lucky enough to have Robin Hills on today's episode of the Bombshell Business Podcast. We discuss defining emotional intelligence and how hard it is to work with emotions and that they are not fluffy, but rather hard to work with! Robin explains the importance of identifying your individual feelings and using that data to inform what you are going to do next. You can then use that data to interact with your team, and show them much needed empathy. Part of this journey includes strengthening your self awareness by using feedback and failures as your guide, and remembering to do what feels right. Later in the episode we focus on strengthening leadership skills by recognizing our impact on others. We need to remember that people are the sum of their past and present experiences, honor that, and know that if our engagement is misaligned we must have hard conversations in order to adjust.  So if you are ready to dive deep, look within, and ultimately increase your empathy and understanding for others, tune in on your favorite podcast app, on the website, or watch it on YouTube.

In business and life, we sometimes have the inability to fully understand and tackle human emotions, impacting our behavior, especially in business. As leaders, we should exemplify the kind of behavior we want in our organizations, and without both emotional & social intelligence, we cannot do that. We need both emotional and social intelligence to make decisions, manage stress and set examples for others. We need to know and understand our own emotional state to impactfully lead others. In this episode, we speak with an expert who helps us understand what emotional and social intelligence is and its impact on leadership.

On this episode of Come Rain or Shine, Robin Hills, Director of EI4Change, joins the show to discuss practical applications of emotional intelligence. A specialist in using emotional intelligence to develop people and their performance, Robin explains how negative feelings, like anxiety, can be constructively channeled into positive outcomes. While part of this involves a commitment to healthy choices, in essence, emotional intelligence requires community and collaboration to mature. Even in business, leaders can only go so far as the strengths they foster within a team setting. Accordingly, if you're a manager wanting to facilitate better processes and procedures, consider the internal composition of who you're leading. By focusing on your team's conflict resolution and communications skills, you can inspire emotional intelligence as you give purpose to what you implement.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to Robin Hills, the founder and CEO of https://ei4change.com/ (Ei4Change). For 16 years, Robin has been advocating and raising the awareness of emotional intelligence. He explains that emotional intelligence is a fundamental principle of life. Josh asks Robin what emotional intelligence is, and Robin explains that it is utilizing our emotions to make good decisions. However, emotions are constant and they fluctuate, which affects the way we think, communicate, and engage with others. Ei4change works with anyone interested in learning more about themselves. They focus on improving especially business relationships and communications. Leadership, team work, and relationships are where Ei4Change specialize. Ei4Change offers unique and valuable courses to teach emotional intelligence skills and techniques. Robin also explores how critical it is that leaders are highly aware of themselves and their impact on their team. What makes leaders good at what they do is that their emotional intelligence sets them apart and drives their decisions.  Emotion can also be used strategically; Robin says that it's easy to become angry, but once you're angry, what do you do with that emotion? How you handle and utilize these emotions are all a part of emotional intelligence. Leaders should always lead with empathy first.  Leaders should also lead with self-awareness – to know their own weaknesses and be able to work around them. Emotional intelligence can also be utilized for negative reasons, such as manipulating an audience. Robin warns that good leaders should be very conscious of how they utilize their emotional intelligence. These skills should never be used for personal, malicious gain.   Understanding your own emotional peaks and valleys is an important part of stress relief, too – often the areas that aren't your strengths give you the most anxiety. Understanding how to better yourself starts with the areas you're weakest in. Taking steps towards self betterment starts with the recognition and acceptance of your weaknesses. Embrace them to improve and move forward.  Robin also talks about how you can utilize unpleasantness to positively work through each day. Treating bad moments as opportunities for fresh starts is one way to frame things with newfound positivity.  Robin also stresses the importance of self care. Self care helps you understand and accept yourself, stay nourished and well in all ways, and improves your relationships with others. Take care of yourself to take care of the people you care about.  Learn more about Robin Hills and his work at https://ei4change.com/ (https://ei4change.com/).  Engage with Robin by reaching out to robin@ei4change.com Check out Robin Hills on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinhills/?originalSubdomain=uk (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinhills/?originalSubdomain=uk).  If you're interested in contacting the Ei4Change team, you can reach them https://ei4change.com/contact/ (here).  Don't forget to subscribe to The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, thanks for listening.

Emotional intelligence, can be measured but, emotional resilience, is how you emotionally utilize all those components to say – okay life is throwing me a bit of a curve ball at the moment. How do I work with it? I don't like the situation that I find myself in, but what do I do? If you don't do anything you're going to fall over and that's not being, resilient.My guest today is Robin Hills, author of The Authority Guide to Emotional Resilience in Business: Strategies to Manage Stress and Weather Storms in the Workplace.

I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies that we can use to improve our own 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 online, a student, or in the corporate environment This week's guest, Robin Hills, who I found out is well connected with some of our past guests, Dan Hill from EPISODE #163[ii], who taught us how to “Read the Emotions in Others” and the author of The Leading Brain, Friederike Fabritius from EPISODE #27[iii] joining us all the way England this week. Robin has taught over 250,000 people in 185 countries how to build resilience, increase their self-awareness and understanding of others. After my interview with Dr. Perry this week, I have been thinking about the upside-down triangle, or Dr. Perry's “Sequence of Engagement” where he mentioned that ALL information comes in through the brainstem, and we have been programmed to REACT to what we take in from our 5 senses, instead of take a few minutes to PAUSE, and RESPOND. I'm hoping that our conversation with Robin will give us some practical ideas that we can all take away, to make ourselves better teachers, leaders, and parents, looking at emotional intelligence through his lens, and make us better supervisor/leaders in our workplaces, parents, teachers, and coaches.   If you want to learn more about Robin's programs, you can see books, courses, and audio programs through his website[iv] that cover the most comprehensive and detailed education of any emotional intelligence organization and are today used in educational establishments in different parts of the world. Let's meet Robin Hills and see if we can Sharpen Our Saw with our EI skills. Welcome Robin! Q1: Robin, thank you for joining me today, all the way from the UK, where I was born (Worthing, Sussex). Welcome! Intro Story: Robin, I was watching another podcast you did[v] recently to learn more about you as I was thinking up some questions on your work and saw some of the English Countryside behind you. I haven't been back to England since 8th grade when I went on this school exchange program. Seeing the trees behind you, and thinking of my questions, I remember this experience I had that is relevant to what we are going to talk about today. Can I share this story with you, with the idea that you give me some EI insight into what you see? So, I was back in 8th grade and there was a school exchange program where I would go to England for 3 weeks, and someone would come stay with me for 3 weeks. Since I came into the program late, I was partnered up with a boy for this exchange, and we were very different personality wise. I arrived from the big city of Toronto to this small town in Bristol, called Hallatrow, and it was a cottage-type house that they had made up beautifully for me coming. I was comfortable in this home with a neat loft to sleep in, but I just didn't connect with my exchange partner, James, socially, at all. I remember looking at him and feeling this awkward silence, not knowing what to say, so said nothing at all. I'm sure we can all think of times when we were younger, and lacked these important social skills, but this memory stuck out to me, because now I look for people who are different from me, to learn from. I just didn't have the social skills back then to try to make things work or find a common ground (I'm sure there was one) so I spent my evenings doing what I enjoyed and would go running in the forest till the sun went down, mostly so I could avoid having to get to know my exchange partner. INTRO QUESTION: I know that a lot of these Emotional Intelligence Skills we develop with life experience. And if I was to see James today, I would work hard to find some sort of common ground that we could have a conversation and how we could have learned something from each other to make us better, stronger people in the future, which is behind why I began doing this work with young people in the first place. Can you share what drew you to choosing this field for your work, and if you could go back to when I was a guest at James' house, what would you have done to help us to connect better? Q1: Since these skills are so important for success in life and the workplace, after we leave school, but we know that learning is ongoing, and these skills must be practiced. Can you share how you would first pinpoint areas of improvement for someone (what assessment you use/what you look for) and then how do you create an action plan for that person to practice these skills? 1B) Have you ever wondered why some people appear to remain calm in the face of disaster or some sort of difficult situation, while others fail to cope? I took this from your book on resilience in the workplace where you say-- People that are able to handle themselves well and remain calm in a crisis have, what psychologists call, resilience – an ability to cope with problems and setbacks. I know there is a lot behind this question, since we all have different life experiences that shape us, but what makes someone more resilient to setbacks than another person and how could we strengthen resilience in ourselves? Q2: What are some strategies for managing stress in the workplace, especially these days when there is already so much turmoil that came along with the Pandemic and I was talking with some friends this morning on the hiking trails, before our day began. There seems to be an unsettling feeling in the air, still so much uncertainty in the world. What have you seen working well? Q3: What about leading others, especially when they might be emerging from a setback to a comeback? Q4: Since we know that emotional intelligence are skills that need to be practiced, what are some ways to advance these skills to have more impact on your future results? Thank you, Robin, for speaking with me today. I know that if we revisit Dr. Perry's Sequence of Engagement, and look at the ways that REGULATE ourselves before we can “get to the CORTEX” or our decision-making, thinking brain, we now have many new ideas and strategies that can make us more creative and effective in the workplace. If we think back to my story with James, I think it's clear that I have always used exercise as a way to regulate, and calm down my brain when under stress. If only I had learned the importance of learning how to form diverse friendships when I was younger, with my story with James, there was more to that story, with tons of adventure that I uncovered running in the forests in this small town in Bristol that would have been fun to have shared with someone else. While deep in these woods, I came across a clearing, and within these trees, I discovered a movie set, with cameras, lights, and people running around yelling directions to each other. I had run into the filming of Robin Hood, and they had used the forest I had discovered to recreate Sherwood Forest, and I ran into this guy, obviously dressed as Robin, played by Jason Connery, Sean Connery's son, after watching some of the filming, was given a signed copy of his photo to remember him by. It was something I've never forgotten, but looking back with an EI lens, the sad point of my story is that I missed the chance to connect with James if we had discovered this movie set together. It would have been much more fun to have discovered a movie set in the woods with someone else, but everything looks different in hindsight. Q6: To close out James, what's next in this field of emotional intelligence? What do you know, immersed in this field, what we might not know? Thank you for your time today.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for Brain Fact Friday and EPISODE #169 on “Improving Your Self and Social-Awareness” through Dr. Perry's What Happened to You[i] book and our insightful interview with Dr. Perry and Steve Graner on EPISODE #168. In Today's Brain Fact Friday, You Will Learn: ✔︎ How to improve your self and social-awareness after reading this book by thinking about the areas that hit you on an emotional level. ✔︎ Tips for cleaning up your emotions, so that we can be more resilient in the face of adversity. ✔︎ Strategies that you can use right away to apply The Neurosequential Model in your classroom, sports, or other work environments. After speaking with Dr. Perry and Steve Graner this week on a deep dive of the book he wrote with Oprah Winfrey What Happened to You, I could pick out many important lessons to focus on for this week's brain fact Friday, and will revisit this interview in future episodes, but if I had to pick just one, it would be to see if you can use the lessons in his book to improve your self and social awareness. Dr. Perry reminded us that “there's motor, cognitive, social and emotional capabilities that remain unexpressed in many people” and the purpose of this podcast is to help us as parents, teachers and coaches to understand these SEL competencies in ourselves, and others, with strategies that we can all use to further develop these skills that are not automatic. They require practice. I picked out 6 SEL competencies to focus on in this podcast, and you can go back and listen to the Lessons Learned from our TOP 100 Episodes[ii] that ties in these 6 SEL Competencies as a review. HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF-AWARENESS: As you're reading Dr. Perry's book, whether it's your first read, or 21st read, I encourage you to think about what parts give you an emotional charge. Dr. Perry mentioned that he went back and forth from Oprah's difficult emotional stories, to challenging neuroscientific topics on purpose, to provide a regulating back and forth pace, just like we do with athletics, and high intensity interval training,  There was an intentionality to the way the book was written to help us to not become overwhelmed with the content and they do remind us in the beginning, that if we do, to just put the book down, and come back to it. The end of the book powerfully ties in Oprah's story where she makes sense of her life and relationship with her mother. With this lesson in mind, can you make sense of your own life by looking for themes of what happened you? What themes came up for you while reading the book? If you haven't read the book yet, it's not difficult to think about things that push your buttons, whether at home or in the workplace. Think about your interactions with others and whether these themes show up in your life. Dr. Dan Siegel[iii] talks about being able to “Name it to Tame it” and Marc Brackett from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence reminds us that we can unlock the power of our emotions with the “Permission to Feel.”[iv] Write them down and when you are ready, you can pick the one that stands out the most to you and clean it up. Self-awareness goes a long way here. Go back and listen to Dr. Carolyn Leaf's BONUS EPISODE[v] on Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess to help you to make sense of whatever it is that comes up for you when reading this book.  She has a simple 5-step process that can be used to help you to unpack and make sense of these emotions that we all have, (Dr. Leaf herself uses this process to keep her mind operating optimally) so that emotions are expressed and healed, instead of turned inwards into toxic thoughts that will impact our mental health and well-being. This does take some time to first of all identify emotions that are bothering us, and then making sense of where they came from, to clean them up, but there's nothing like the feeling of having a clear mind when we are able to do this. HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR AWARENESS OF OTHERS? You can also understand others better with this new awareness. Whether you are a teacher in the classroom, a parent, or a coach, being able to have conversations around trauma, and being trauma informed will help you to handle these types of situations, leading to healing and resiliency. I came across an article the day after we recorded this interview with Dr. Perry, written by Allison Cooke Douglas, called “Meeting Children Where They Are”[vi] that will help you with specific ideas to apply the Neurosequential Model if you work with children and youth. Click on the link in the show notes and you can access a 10 Page PDF that will walk you step by step through Dr. Perry's Model with tips for healing trauma that you can apply to improve the well-being of those children, students or even athletes in your life. Can you make sense of what happened to you with this new understanding of our brain to bring you clarity for yourself, or how you parent, or teach your students to bring you some peace, like Oprah found at the of the book? I hope this new understanding that Dr Perry's Neurosequential model offers can help you to better understand yourself and others, bringing you to higher levels of communication, resilience and peace.  The next time you are working, and stress comes your way, think of Dr. Perry's Neurosequential Model and remember: STEP 1: All information comes into the brain through the brainstem through our 5 senses, as well as through interoception or “your brain's perception of your body state.”[vii] STEP 2: We must remember that our brain was designed to react to the information that comes into our body first, and we must find ways to REGULATE ourselves, or we won't be able to “reach the cortex” or our REASONING decision-making part of our brain. STEP 3: Do you have strategies to REGULATE yourself when under stress or pressure at work? If you don't have time to get outside for a walk when the pressure is too high, can you take some deep breaths and stretch for a minute at your desk? STEP 4: Only then can we REASON and access the SMART part of our brain. Dr. Perry also reminded us that creative insights are just not possible when we are under pressure and stressed on a day-to-day basis like when Oprah was recording her television shows. She came up with the idea to write this book when she was not under so much pressure, and her creative mind opened up. Nothing beats being able to step away from your work, and finding a peaceful place to clear your mind, and access those higher parts of your brain, where we can experience those flashes of creativity and insight that are squashed while under pressure. I hope you've had some AHA Moments with this Brain Fact Friday, improving the way you see yourself and others with a new way of looking a life, through the lens of our powerful brain, where we have the ability to reach incredible heights, and help others to do the same. I'll see you next week, with 2 interviews that will tie in our recent learning. John Harmon will show us how we can map our experiences in the brain (like learning, or playing sports) and how to use this understanding to improve performance while under pressure, and Robin Hills will give us some ideas on how to lead and encourage others to be their best, with strategies for improving our emotional intelligence, with our brain in mind.

In this episode, I speak with Robin Hills. Robin is the director of Ei4Change, a company specializing in educational training, coaching, and personal development focused around emotional intelligence, positive psychology, and neuroscience. In the episode, we will speak about what does it mean to lead with emotional intelligence.

Today, fellow coach, author, and emotional intelligence expert Robin Hills shares his expertise on emotional intelligence (EI) and emotional resilience. We quickly discover that being intellectually intelligent does not equate to being emotionally intelligent. Starting with a degree in Biology, he shifted into a sales profession in the medical field. After the corporate world eliminated his role, he thought it was time to create his own firm and teach others what he learned about managing our responses, while improving our EI and increasing our emotional resilience. Robin's book, The Authority Guide to Emotional Resilience in Business, is available on Amazon. To learn more about Robin, go to www.ei4change.com. During the show, we discuss the importance of increasing your self-awareness and becoming clear about your personality and strengths. For you to achieve this, CRG encourages you to consider our powerful online course experience so you can live a life with more emotional intelligence and resilience: Why Aren't You More Like Me?

In today's episode, Robin Hills and I chat about emotional intelligence and how your EI can improve your relationship. Robin talks about his life-long journey in developing EI skills for himself and what emotional intelligence looks like in action. As emotional beings, we can't manage our "emotional platter" all the time. There are times when we aren't feeling well, and we won't be at our EI best. In addition, we can find times to give others space when they need an emotional break. Self-awareness plays a significant role in emotional intelligence. Those with high self-awareness tend to be the people with good EI, and those with low self-awareness tend to have low EI. Working on self-awareness is a skill that can be used to reflect on how your preferences and behaviors are manifesting themselves. Listen in to learn why empathy is a significant part of acquiring EI, why it's OK for men to express emotions, and how EI starts when you are a baby.

In business and life, we sometimes have the inability to fully understand and tackle human emotions, impacting our behavior, especially in business. As leaders, we should exemplify the kind of behavior we want in our organizations, and without both emotional & social intelligence, we cannot do that. We need both emotional and social intelligence to make decisions, manage stress and set examples for others. We need to know and understand our own emotional state to impactfully lead others. In this episode, we speak with an expert who helps us understand what emotional and social intelligence is and its impact on leadership.

What if you had strategies to manage stress and weather storms in the workplace? What if you could inspire others and build successful relationships among those in your teams? Despite a barren parched environment, life continues to flourish. There is new growth and there are new prospects. Out of adversity comes opportunity and a new plant grows where others would fail to flourish. The old is replaced by the new, that will eventually grow to full maturity and the new plant will be an integral part of a new landscape and new environment. Emotional intelligence has become increasingly recognised as a trait in leadership. In fact, it could easily be argued that emotional intelligence is an important characteristic for anyone at any level of an organisation. A leader's emotional intelligence can have a major influence over their relationships, how they manage their teams and generally how they interact with individuals in the workplace.

In conversation with fellow Authority Guide author, Robin Hills, about how being emotionally resilient in business is a smart and intelligent way to be.#stress #resilience #emotional intelligence
