How Emotional Intelligence Helps Us Adapt to Change EP 78
How good are you at handling change? Do you handle it well? How sure are you?
Joining us today is Elizabeth Powers, a sought-after speaker, facilitator, teacher, and consultant. She is also the CEO of EPower & Associates, Inc., which provides people development in the form of training, coaching, consulting, and events, and is the parent organization for The EPower Change Institute and The Trauma Informed Academy.
“The only time we welcome change and are excited by it is if we design the change, we execute the change, and it goes exactly as we want it to. Otherwise, we don’t like it very much, because it’s imposed on us, and we feel like we lose our ability to make choices.” - Elizabeth Powers
Elizabeth’s mother has said that Elizabeth has “gone through more change than a chameleon going through a costume ball.” And Elizabeth agrees!
She started out as a shoe repairer at a shop that served celebrities where she started out not believing that she could do anything more. One day, a client came in, saw her, and said, “You are way too smart to be doing this. Don’t let yourself get stuck here.” That was the first time she felt seen, and she kept that moment tucked in her heart for a long time. Since then, she has worked in public welfare, had (and lost) other jobs, and had to learn how to deal with the different changes in her life.
Here are the key topics Elizabeth discusses today:
“If you can’t tolerate the discomfort of learning something new, or of taking in information from other people, you’re going to be stuck.” - Elizabeth Powers
Today, Elizabeth spends her time helping people deal with change. She speaks to motivate others and to share her own story of hope and healing. And that’s exactly what she does in this episode. Do you want to learn how to better deal with change? Listen to Elizabeth to receive her words of wisdom.
