Leaderhood & Parentship - The 4 Threats Our Brain Finds at Work

The 4 Threats Our Brain Finds at Work

11/29/22 • 51 min

Leaderhood & Parentship

#10 - For the next 4 episodes we will be taking a deep dive into the dimensions of emotional intelligence (EQ): Self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and accountability. The series was inspired by a question that came out of Shane’s recent coaching calls: Why are we struggling with self-awareness? In an age where we can disappear into a catered, digital experience in the palm of our hand, how many of us are taking the time to reflect on how we’re showing up in the world? And, how can we grow something we don’t even know we’re lacking? For part 1 of the EQ series, we touch on what self-awareness is, why our brains actively work to avoid self-awareness, what new studies are showing about EQ, and how leaders can help themselves and their teams become more self-aware. We then flip it to the home and Shane shares how great leaders use the home to improve their self-awareness at work.

Why Punishment No Longer Fits The Modern Workplace

#9 - This week, we’re exploring “autonomy.” Specifically, why leaders and parents should be focusing on creating autonomy whenever they can. We start by discussing punishment, and specifically, why it doesn’t work anymore. Shane explains why building autonomy is a far more effective way to get employees, and families, engaged in a shared vision. Shane breaks down what autonomy feels like for each colour profile, the 4 things that take our autonomy away, and what leaders get wrong about entitlement. We then explore strategies to restore autonomy, the importance of following the “speed limit,” and what to do when kids just aren’t listening.

How Do We Self-Regulate In a World of Instant Gratification?

#11 - For part 2 of our 4 part series on emotional intelligence, we’re taking a deep dive into self-regulation. In a world that has become increasingly busy, packed with instant gratification at our fingertips, how do we learn to self-regulate? And, how do we identify when our team or family members are having trouble with it? Today, we talk through different strategies you can start today to flex your self-regulation muscle. Shane breaks down the 2 types of self-regulation, shares stories from recent client calls and identifies how self-regulation issues show up based on our colour profiles.
