Day In the Life for an Emotionally Intelligent Leader

Leaderhood & Parentship

#25 - In our most vulnerable episode to date, Shane walks us through his entire daily routine from start to finish. Shane starts off explaining why every leader should care about emotional intelligence and transformational leadership before taking us along with him through a typical work day. We discuss grounded empathy, emotional check-ins, steps Shane takes after every client call, how leaders can manage their boundaries through the day, and the importance of switching gears before walking in your home at the end of a long day. All of the habits shared in this episode are done to facilitate the needs of leadership in our busy, ever changing world.
