The Wheel of Emotion

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the ability to identify, understand, and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It involves being aware of one's own emotional state and the emotional states of those around us and using that awareness to guide our thoughts and actions. Emotional intelligence helps us to understand ourselves better, including our strengths, weaknesses, and values. By developing emotional intelligence, we can improve our relationships with others, communicate more effectively, and become better leaders. In our businesses and personal lives, emotional intelligence plays a critical role in our ability to adapt to change, manage stress, and make sound decisions. By developing our emotional intelligence, we can grow as individuals and achieve greater success in all areas of our lives.

In this episode, David Patterson and Carissa Mason, podcast hosts, share the importance of emotional intelligence in our businesses and personal lives. They talk about the research on emotional intelligence from the Indiana University Kelley School of business, the law of self-awareness, and how emotional intelligence helps realtors succeed. They also share how emotional intelligence plays part in social awareness, self-management, and self-awareness. Tune in to learn more about this and other exciting topics!

Redundancy, or the involuntary loss of employment, can be a stressful and challenging experience. However, for some individuals, it can also allow them to pursue a different path and explore new avenues of career fulfillment. One such path is entrepreneurship, which allows individuals to take control of their own destinies and create their own successful businesses. Moving from a traditional 9-to-5 job to becoming an entrepreneur requires a significant shift in mindset and approach, as well as a willingness to take risks and adapt to new challenges.

In this episode, we are joined by Jane Ferre, an Executive Career Coach who helps HR Directors conclude the consultation process and exit senior people from their businesses with dignity so that they can transition into their next role. Jane shares her journey from Disneyland Paris to redundancy, the lessons she learned from her personal and professional career, and tips for building organic relationships with people and being their confidant.
