Episode 86: Living and Leading with Emotional Intelligence: Awareness Quotient with Brian Cunningham

In this episode, I will be discussing the power of awareness in life and leadership with my friend and mentor, Brian Cunningham. 

Brian is a student of leadership and life. Starting out as a Parking Lot Attendant at a large hospital in Philadelphia, he has worked through every level within this complex industry, eventually working his way to serve in the role of CEO. Throughout this journey he purposefully studied the leadership/followership dynamic to understand both the illusions and deeper realities of leadership service.

At a point on this journey, while immersed in seeking a more integrated approach to leadership service, the full developmental progression of our growth as a leader began to “emerge” to Brian… who then organized these findings into a unique and practical framework that others can use to develop their own expression of leadership mastery. 

The AQ Model of leadership development is detailed in his book, The Leadership Revolution: Because Evolution Takes Too Long. While the fundamentals of our AQ (Awareness Quotient) are illuminated in his groundbreaking book, Our AQ (Awareness Quotient): The Missing Link to Extraordinary Leadership and Life.

As an active Leader in today’s complex healthcare environment, Brian understands the real challenges and the amazing opportunities that these complexities present to us, and he is here to share his practical approach to taking our leadership service to the highest levels.

Mondays: Mindful Mentions - where I will highlight a person, book, organization, or topic that is top of mind for me that week, and one that I believing is worth sharing.

Today, I will announce changes that are being made to the podcast. Until further notice, daily podcast will become weekly, with a continuation of Parenting with Emotional Intelligence (every other Wednesday), and the traditional interview format that will continue to be released every other Monday.

The reasons for this change are that I am in the process of writing my second book, and planning my first annual conference for 2022 (if all goes as planned). 

Additionally, I will share with a recent experience that was life altering. However, you'll have to listen if you want to learn more. :)

Sundays Quote of the Week - start your week of with an insightful or inspiration quote to chew on.

Today's quote is from Oliver Gaspirtz, "Our words are often only vague, inadequate descriptions of our thoughts. Something gets lost in translation every time we try to express our thoughts in words. And when the other person hears our words, something gets lost in translation again, because words mean different things to different people.“
