Emotional Intelligence or Slavery?

Emotional Intelligence or Slavery?

We have all seen the Snickers commercial: “You’re not yourself when you’re hungry!” We have all experienced times when losing it emotionally at work or in our personal lives has cost us. I can think of more than a few.

But now, it seems that everywhere I turn, I hear about the importance of emotional intelligence (EQ): “EQ is essential for leadership! You can’t be effective in sales without…

Courageous Self Care. That's what I stepped into this evening. I've been having some very long days, that ended tonight. Going into these intense days, I also spent extra time pouring into me. Spent a day at the beach over the weekend. And now, I'm sitting in the quiet of the room, with my legs up the wall, honoring my feet. Am I back at it tomorrow? Kinda. Instead of jumping right back into it. I scheduled light days and spread out my work a little bit. It's courageous to care for myself this way. It's courageous to pour into and invest in me. It's courageous to say No to others so I can say Yes to myself. It's courageous to vent. It's courageous to have healthy boundaries. It's courageous to stand up to the mind committee while their arguments of how many other things you could be getting done right now seems so rational. Annnnd, I'm down for a little courageous self care. I love that it takes courage. Makes me truly value and appreciate the self care. Makes me feel powerful.💪🏾 In any event, it's a perfect way to end a Brilliant day!! 👣💖💝👣💖💝👣💖💝 #courageousselfcare #selfcare #selflove #pourintome #happyyogi #happytobeme #thankful #love #leadership #leadersgofirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CGl8JV5h0sv/?igshid=11ob0wk4ul3g4

How to Hire Winners Every Time

How to Hire Winners Every Time

Have you ever had that sinking feeling that you made a terrible mistake in hiring someone? We’ve all been there.

Most of us have experienced it: the sneaking suspicion when we first meet that person, the growing excitement as we get to know him or her better and then the fateful question we ask ourselves, “Could this be the person that could bring us to the next level?”

We do our due diligence,…

Today was a day to spend celebrating me. I've been busy in motion following my calling, coach another amazing team of leaders, supporting and being supported by Amazing, world class leaders in my Leadership PhD Program and just enjoying life!! My coach mentioned my abundance of doing and less of BEing. So I decided to dedicate this day to connection and fun, love, joy, peace, surrender and trust. A day spent just enjoying life and not striving or driving. So, I did what I teach: amid my mind committee's constant chatter on gotte much I have to do - I took the day off and went to the beach!! Life is now! ❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤ #lifeisgood #lifeisnow #live #leadersstandinfront #leadersgofirst #selfcare #courageousselfcare (at Laguna Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGd2GOFBq_6/?igshid=1b9ecoqya97yc

How Weakness Can Strengthen Your Leadership

How Weakness Can Strengthen Your Leadership

This was not my first rodeo. I had led teams before. But this was a brand new industry for me and my first time leading a sales organization. I was also a member of the family that owned and operated the company, so I felt like I had something to prove.

The company needed more sales, and the pressure was on. I got to work.

Immediately, we put a recruiting plan in place and hired new team members…

From One Dad to Another

From One Dad to Another

Fatherhood has been the most challenging part of my life, by far. Trying to lead my family as my small children grow up has taught me things about myself that have deeply shamed and scared me to death, as well as given me deep and powerful hope.

No matter how much or frequently I fail, no matter how often I lose my temper, blame my kids for imitating my own behavior or shame them for traits that…

The Paradox of Leadership

The Paradox of Leadership

If you are in sales or you lead a team, if you are in a relationship with a significant other or you have kids, if you serve customers or communicate with others in any way — basically, if you live on this planet (and you are not the caveman in the Geico commercial who lives under a rock) — then you probably appreciate your ability to influence others.

Whether I am in a sales meeting with a…
