In this episode, we kick off a powerful four-part series on emotional intelligence, starting with self-awareness. Drawing inspiration from Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Dr. Travis Bradberry and Dr. Jean Greaves, we dive into what it truly means to be self-aware beyond the surface-level understanding many of us claim to have. We explore the deeper questions: What drives you? How do your emotions ripple through your interactions? We’ll share practical strategies to help you develop self-awareness, tap into your feelings, and enhance your leadership professionally and personally. Tune in and start your journey toward greater emotional intelligence today!
