EMPOWERED LEADERS CHAT - Why Does No One Talk About This At Work?
Welcome back to the Empowered LeadersTM newsletter, Reader!
I'm so glad you're here!
So many leaders NEED soft skills... yet they avoid talking about them. WHY?
Is it insecurity? Or fear? Have they been told it isn't important? Or doesn't belong in the workplace?
One of the KEY soft skills - we all need, Reader - is Emotional Intelligence.
Sadly, toxic culture comes with the territory when our leadership ignores important tools like EQ.
You may have heard of the term "Emotional Intelligence", but do you know how to actually implement it? If not, let's get you started on your journey to figuring out what it means & how to learn the 1st piece... both for you & for your team!
Grab this free download - You can share it with your team and do it together, Reader!
Why do I do this? Why do I want to be YOUR leadership coach?
It wasn't something I ever thought I would do!
But after I was told that my position at my company had an end date - due to a coming change in the organization - I took it as an OPPORTUNITY to do some soul searching... to find out what I wanted to do, if I could do anything.
After conversations with my own coaches, they helped me to realize what I should have known all along (but couldn't see on my own)... that THIS is my passion - guiding & mentoring others!
Looking back, I could see the transformation I had made in my past & current teams. I realized that I wanted to help other leaders do the same!
Do you want to make this type of IMPACT at your company, for your team? I know you can! You just have to want to, Reader! So, ask yourself: "Do You Want To?"
NOTE: this video clip - and the next one - are snippets from a Podcast I was on earlier this month. If you want to see the whole podcast (just under 1 hour), check out this edition of the Brands Talk podcast. Watch until near the end for the 3 tips I shared for corporate leaders!
A community where you can learn more about EQ + more
Emotional Intelligence is just 1 of the topics we will discuss in the Academy. Having a safe, supportive community of newer corporate leaders, just like you, is the perfect place to learn about EQ, ask your questions about EQ, and dig deeper into topics surrounding EQ for both you & your team.
It's almost here, Reader!
Coming this Fall... apply NOW!
Don't wait!
Because... after the 1st cohort year, new member prices will increase (while prices for founding members will stay the same.)
You don't have to do this alone...
you just have to take the 1st step!
Love to Read?
"Emotional Intelligence 2.0" by Travis Bradberry & Jean Greaves is my favorite reference book for EQ. It breaks down the 4 key areas of EQ along with giving you strategies you can implement in each area: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, & Relationship Management.
This is a practical book that you can put to use right away, Reader!
Also - thank you for indulging my first ever GIF creation - LOL! I was laughing at myself when I realized that the orange lines on the book cover lined up with my t-shirt!

Welcome Back, Reader Ah, the generation gap! "They don't have any loyalty." "They are disengaged with work." "They are slackers with no work ethic." Oops, did you think we were talking about Gen Z or Millennials? Nope! These were the common statements the Boomer generation used to describe Gen X when they first entered the workforce. Boomers vs. Gen X... Boomers had valued long-term employment with a single company. Gen X had grown up witnessing corporate restructuring and layoffs in the 80s,...
Welcome Back, Reader Why do we call them "soft skills"? Soft skills are “soft, until you don’t have them, Then it’s hard.” --Chike Aguh, senior advisor of Harvard University’s Project on Workforce Aguh further suggested that the process of developing soft skills is similar to getting good at sports by adding, “You can’t read a book on how to do a jump shot.” I couldn't agree more with his sentiment! Organizations don't spend enough time assessing soft skills in job candidates, and much less...
Welcome Back, Reader Do Your Employees Feel Appreciated? Or do you just think they do? "There are two things people want more than sex and money: recognition and praise." - Mary Kay Ash, Founder of Mary Kay, Inc. While most everyone would like a raise or bonus, that monetary incentive is quickly forgotten. Appreciation doesn't have to cost anything. It can be as simple as a sincere 'thank you'... verbally or written. The problem? "While more than 80% of managers THINK that they are providing...
