In this age of instant communication, constant distractions, and major conflict, a high emotional intelligence quotient, or EQ, is more important than ever. But what does emotional intelligence look like in real life? Using a combination of fascinating research, real-life stories, and personal experiences, I’ll show you. For example: -What major lesson can we glean from one of the greatest turnaround stories of all time--Steve Jobs's exit and return to Apple--examined from a completely different angle? -What can the FBI’s former #1 kidnap negotiator teach us about emotional influence? -How can you learn to break bad habits and escape "emotional hijacks"? -What is the dark side of EQ, and how can you protect yourself from it? This is just a sample of the questions I answer via my free weekly newsletter, EQ Applied.

Yet, he must do so in a way that doesn't alienate his people. So, what did he do? Fearing that a culture pushed from the top down wouldn't get buy-in from employees, Khosrowshahi invited his people to write Uber's new cultural norms instead.

This is still one of my favorite pieces on LinkedIn about #writing and “personal #branding”, published a few years ago by Isabelle Roughol , LinkedIn’s international managing editor. I like to share it again from time to time. Definitely worth reading and thinking about. “In letting ourselves become a brand, we edit our humanity. We smooth edges and reduce our complexity to one simple phrase: we become the Big Data guy, the creativity expert, the public speaking coach, the social media star...” — Isabelle Roughol …see more

It's time to stop thinking what jobs will computers take and more, what are we going to do about it ? Regardless of the case we need to focus on agility and how to get value from life beyond work and income.

My Top 3 Tips for Any Business or Brand Right Now 💗 1) Forget "this is how we've always done it." Times of crisis call for true creativity. This is your chance to test your ideas. Pilot that campaign. Get your team on board. I started my company during the worst recession in recent history. We succeeded because businesses were willing to try what it took to get results. Necessity truly IS the mother of invention - and innovation. 2) Don't be afraid to lead the conversation in the press. Your customers, your prospects, your audience at large is looking for your expertise and guidance. EVERY single industry has been impacted. The leaders are emerging while the pack is shrinking back. When the dust settles, who do you think will have greater trust - and market share? 3) Double down on digital. For the foreseeable future, live gatherings and events are impacted. This doesn't mean you can't still reach your audience. In fact, this might be the most captive audience you've had since the advent of TV. …see more

How about a round of applause for Jerry Blassingame , Executive Director of the #Soteria Community Development Corporation in Greenville, #SouthCarolina ? He’s also one of the first #HealthyCommunities Fellows with The Aspen Institute , in partnership with the #AetnaFoundation . I’ve had the pleasure of working with him over the past few months as he produced an OpEd column about the “life sentence” imposed on people who return to their communities after serving a prison term. After serving a three and a half year sentence himself, Blassingame has spent the past 20 years providing more than 5,000 men and women with the resources and support to successfully return to their communities. And he knows that words and labels matter. They are NOT “ex-felons” or “former inmates” - they are your neighbors and fellow citizens. That’s why I’m so pleased to have helped Jerry get his OpEd published on The Root online news website today. Take a look at his powerful commentary here: https://lnkd.in/dWbmVYm Aetna, a CVS Health Company #prisonreform #rehabilitation #communitydevelopment #languagematters …see more
