20. [INTERVIEW] The Superpower of Emotional Intelligence in Both Leadership and Life -- with Rich Bracken

WELCOME to a RIDICULOUSLY energizing and inspiring episode of On the Way UP!

Let me just start by saying, this has been one my very favorite podcast conversations.  Rich is such an incredible person and his positive aura is on another level.  Rich is one to watch, as I guarantee he will be a household name. He has big goals and dreams, and I am BEYOND fortunate he was willing to contribute to this show and share his time and content with all of you as well!

Rich will actually be the KEYNOTE speaker at a very exciting LIVE event in Vegas this June for Meeting Professionals International, and he has some really fun “tricks up his sleeve” for this presentation!

Rich not only hosts his own podcast, the EnRICH Your Soul Podcast, but he has been featured on MANY other media outlets, including Fox 4 News Kansas City. 

During our conversation we get into discussing some deeper topics.  As we all know, in our everyday lives we are faced with challenges of all kinds. Especially during the last year, we have been triggered and challenged in more ways than we probably even realize. This is where emotional intelligence comes in. You are probably familiar with the idea of people having an “IQ”, but what about an “EQ”?  Emotional intelligence plays a huge role in our everyday lives and helps us make decisions, interact well with others, and overall helps contribute to our wellbeing and success.

In this episode we discuss:

-How emotional intelligence plays into leadership and business

-How humility, gratitude and mindset have everything to do with success

-The importance of daily habits and your personal “anchors” that help you stay grounded, resilient and energized.

-That it’s OK to be imperfect—we all are human and we all struggle! It’s how we choose to manage the struggle that counts.
