Leading Through Crisis with Céline Williams

Emotional Intelligence in Business with Dr. J.J. Kelly

Episode Summary

In this episode, I talk to Dr. J.J. Kelly (aka The Punk Rock Doc) about emotional intelligence in business and the power of challenging and rethinking beliefs. Join us for an entertaining conversation about liking yourself more and important communication/leadership skills.

Episode Notes

Dr. Kelly, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Emotional Intelligence Trainer, and Bestselling Author of The Holy Shit Series, asserts that when we can say, “Hey, I like myself – flaws and all” that is true, authentic leadership. And, we don't have a lot of examples of that in the world.

In this episode, we also discuss:
- Affection outside of romantic and familial relationships
- What to do with thoughts and feelings that "aren't allowed"
- What defensiveness is and how it hurts us
- Why it's important to be challenged and rethink our beliefs
- How shame and fear (often) rule our lives
+ more!

“We respect people who rethink because it’s growth in action and yet, as individuals, we struggle to do it.” 

J.J. is awesome and so entertaining. I hope you'll join us for this episode!
