In today’s episode we are going to speak about the essence of emotional intelligence and its profound impact on leadership. While often overlooked as a leadership quality, many forward-thinking organizations now integrate emotional intelligence into their hiring process.
Reflecting on my career journey, EI was probably one of the key drivers that helped me climb the corporate ladder so quickly, despite being the youngest and the least experienced person at the time.
In this episode my special guest speaks about how working with emotional intelligence can make you understand your team members better and inspire greater motivation, job satisfaction and elevated performance.
I’m excited to introduce our esteemed guest, Diana Lowe, an authority in emotional intelligence.
Diana is the CEO of Blue Light Leadership, a company dedicated to cultivating emotional intelligence among remote leaders. She is an executive coach who works with directors to C-Suite executives in Fortune 500 companies to transform their team spirit and communication, resulting in turning low-performing teams into highly productive and engaged teams. Her company focuses on using evidence-based research from positive psychology to combat rising stress and anxiety so you as a leader can thrive in navigating uncertainty.
