In this episode, I talk with Dr. Richard Boyatzis, whose work on emotional intelligence and intentional change theory has shaped how many of us think about growth. We explore why real, lasting change starts not with someone else's goals, but with a person's own vision—their ideal self. 

Richard shares powerful ideas about how positive emotions drive learning and how strong, authentic relationships are at the heart of meaningful change. We also dig into what compassionate coaching really looks like, how systems shape behavior in schools, and why curiosity often works better than compliance.
