What if I told you the secret to winning in leadership and sales isn’t about being the smartest or the most persuasive? It’s about how well you know yourself, manager yourself and manage relationships.

Let’s break it down and explore how you can use EQ to create real impact.

1. The Four Pillars of Emotional Intelligence

EQ isn’t some fluffy, feel-good conc...

Daniel Pink said ‘There is a mismatch between what science knows and business does.’  

That’s why I blend modern science with practical strategies and skills to help businesses create great leaders, and cultures where people feel engaged, acknowledged, connected and joyful. In short – where people actually love their work, their colleagues and themselves.
