I'd love to hear from you!

Do you ever feel like an impostor among your colleagues and peers? Do you wonder whether your degree, qualifications, and experience are just “not enough” to achieve the success you want? In Episode 17,  host Jami Carlacio and guest Siobhán (“Shivaun”) Murphy discuss the concept of imposter syndrome, that nagging feeling of being a fraud despite your accomplishments. We explore how this phenomenon disproportionately affects high-achieving women, leading to self-doubt, anxiety, and a reluctance to take on new challenges.

Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern where individuals believe they are overhyped and their success is due to luck or external factors, not their own competence. This can manifest in various ways, from downplaying achievements to attributing positive feedback to mere politeness.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a powerful weapon against imposter syndrome.  Drawing on the power of your Inner Sage, you can challenge negative self-talk, build confidence in your abilities, and conquer this pesky problem. The long and short of it is, YOU BELONG! You come to embrace and believe in the value you bring to your peers, colleagues, and everyone else where you feel the need to perform at your best. EQ empowers you to silence the imposter voice within and embrace your rightful place as the awesome, amazing, talented, and accomplished person you are. Believe it.

I'd love to hear from you!

Grief carries the weight of a thousand unspoken emotions. Loss can shatter our world, leaving us feeling lost and alone. But within us all lies the voice of our Inner Sage, whispering divine wisdom to guide us through the storm. In Episode 16 of Positive Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success, my guest Jenn Berger and I talk about navigating the intricate journey of grief. We explore a spectrum of emotions, including the raw pain, the overwhelming confusion, and even the unexpected waves of joy that may surprise us. We delve into the complexities of grief, acknowledging that there's no one-size-fits-all path. Each grief story is unique, just as we are. Leveraging the power of Positive Intelligence and reaching into the deep well of compassion, we'll have a conversation that honors vulnerability and courage. Tapping into the powers of our Inner Sage such as empathy, explore, navigate, and activate helps us navigate the challenges, celebrate the victories, and ultimately, find ways to rebuild our life with grace and resilience. While we may start out just surviving grief, we can learn how to thrive again as we walk the sometimes crooked path of healing because even in the darkest moments, there's at least a pinprick of light that promises solace. Remember, friends, you are not alone.

I'd love to hear from you!

Forgiving  someone, even ourselves, for a wrong or perceived injustice  is one of the hardest things to do. The popular cliche "to forgive  is to forget"  is wrong! Forgiveness  is about freedom--from resentment, anger, blame, judgment, and even shame  and guilt. In  Positive Intelligence  terms, forgiveness is possible when we use our Sage  powers of Empathy, Explore, Navigate, Innovate, and Activate. In  episode 15, my guest Alicia R. McLain and I discuss the meaning of forgiveness, what events, people, and things have happened to us that may prompt us to need or want to forgive in the first place, and what transformation  occurs in ourselves when we make that life-changing decision to move on with our lives. Tune in for insights on the power  that forgiveness brings.

"Forgiveness" (Poem) by George Roemisch
  Forgiveness is the wind-blown bud which
blooms in placid beauty at Verdun.
  Forgiveness is the tiny slate-gray sparrow
which has built its nest of twigs and
string among the shards of glass upon the
wall of shame.
  Forgiveness is the child who laughs in merry
ecstasy beneath the toothed fence
that closes in Da Nang.
  Forgiveness is the fragrance of the
violet which still clings fast to the
heel that crushed it.
  Forgiveness is the broken dream which
hides itself within the corner of the
mind oft called forgetfulness so that it
will not bring pain to the dreamer.
  Forgiveness is the reed which stands up
straight and green when nature's mighty
rampage halts, full spent.
  Forgiveness is a God who will not leave

I'd love to hear from you!

Fear is a totally normal emotion! We all feel it sometimes, whether it's when we are heading into "unknown territory" or facing a difficult situation and we aren't sure how it's going to turn out. Many of us experience fear when faced with the prospect of looking for a new job or leaving an old one, entering into or leaving a relationship, or even just getting in the car and trying to stay alert to potential dangers on the highway. BUT: When it comes to making decisions or even just starting the day, fear can cripple us. It can prevent us from taking action, prevent us from speaking our truth, prevent us from trying something new that may turn out to be the best thing we ever did. Our Inner Sage, that Divine Self that loves us unconditionally, will help us, if we draw on it. Using the Sage powers of Positive Intelligence, we can tap into our Sage through mindful breathing, using our senses to stay in the present moment, and even praying, asking for help. Trust your Sage. Know that when you are fully present, you are neither in the past nor in the future. You are right here, right now. Look at your feet. Where are they? Tune in to Episode 13 of Emotional Intelligence:: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success when interview Lauri Stern and we talk about why mindfulness and being centered in our body is the best way to live in faith and combat fear.

I'd love to hear from you!

With special guest Dr. Doreen Downing, Jami Carlacio discusses the value of connecting with our essence, our True inner guru and inner sage. When we connect with our Essence, we come from a place of #love and #authenticity. When we don't or can't do this, #communication breaks down. We are relational people, after all. So, it's crucial that we speak our truth to whomever we meet and are in relationship with. Another way to say this, and this is Dr. Doreen's speciality, is to find your voice so you can change your life. We need to let of of the ego that is the false self. In PQ or Positive Intelligence terms, we need to recognize and silence the demons and saboteurs that cause us to engage in negative self-talk. By drawing on the divine self that is in all of us, we can live and behave the way we were created to be: loving human beings. The best way to get in touch with ourselves is through the body, specifically the breath, and to pay attention to what's going on inside us. The next time you're feeling alone, feeling stuck, and maybe even imprisoned by the external voices that get us down, remember who you are: a beloved child of Creation!

I'd love to hear from you!

Neurodivergence is a word we hear everywhere and has gained popularity among those who identify as such. Whether it's ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or some other form of difference from what is called "neurotypical," many might wonder whether the stigma attached to neurological differences has really disappeared.  In episode 12 of the podcast Emotional Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success, Jami Carlacio interviews two guests--LaMyra McGee, a licensed school psychologist, and Bob Palacios, a software engineer, on their experience as persons identifying as neurodivergent. Jami herself also identifies as neurodivergent, and as this episode demonstrates, there is more to people than their neurological differences. Are any of us really all that different? Do we need a label to describe how we process information and relate to the world? How might Positive Intelligence help us navigate a complex world where difference is more often seen as "othering" than something to be embraced?

In episode 11 of Emotional Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success, I discuss what diversity is and why we should embrace and value it--in ourselves and in others. Focusing on how we perceive and interact with the world, I encourage listeners and viewers to practice self- and other-acceptance, claim your authenticity and vulnerability, and be the love for others that you want for yourself. I offer examples of how drawing on the positive intelligence Sage muscle allows us to do just that.

In episode 9 on the "C" series of Compassionate Curiosity, I explain how to bring your Sage into group meetings. Imagine there are nine of you in a meeting and need to make an important decision and all of you brought your Judge and chief saboteur. What a disaster! Now, reimagine the scenario in which you all arrive in Sage gear. Members each get a say, and by playing the Sage game of "Yes, And" and employing the 90/10 principle, each person gets to express an idea, going around the room. Sage #1 offers an idea, 90% of which may be bad! But Sage #2 finds 10% of it to like and expresses that AND offers up idea #2. And on it goes until there are nine sage ideas to work with. Groups of humans are interlocking ecosystems, and when the system is healthy all thrive, but if even one part isn't, the system doesn't work. It's like that with trees, whose roots "talk" to each other and work together for the good of all the trees in the group. I quote the German forester Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees, who explains that trees are sentient and behave in humanistic ways with parent trees taking care of their saplings and each other.  And I tie this to the ancient Chinese text Tao te Ching, where Verse 39 expresses the value of oneness.

I'd love to hear from you!

In this episode of Emotional Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success, I define compassionate curiosity and explain how this is the Sage path--the one of self-love, the Divine inner Self that loves us no matter what. I talk about how we often screw up and listen to the Judge's negative chatter that leads to us beating ourselves up. I then explain that doing PQ reps to stop the Judge in its tracks and choosing the Sage path is ultimately what serves us and others. We may have acted in ways we regret, but we are perfectly imperfect human beings. We can imagine ourselves as a young, innocent child and as we show compassion and empathy toward them, we can learn to deliver that same compassion and empathy to our current selves as well as to others. Further, we can don the hat of a curious anthropologist who is observing--without judgement--behaviors and attitudes to see what might be going on underneath the surface: a trigger? Bad mood? Hangry? By choosing the Sage path we weaken the Judge's path and truly become free.
