Emotional intelligence (EQ) is more than a buzzword. It’s the quiet force that shapes leadership, culture, and connection. In this episode of the Power Of Women Podcast, Di Gillett is joined by Amy Jacobson, emotional intelligence and human behaviour specialist, keynote speaker, and author of The Emotional Intelligence Advantage. Together they explore how EQ is built, why empathy matters, the dangers of toxic positivity, and how women can embrace emotional intelligence to lead authentically.
You’ll hear:
- Why empathy is powerful, but also exhausting — and how to avoid becoming a pushover.
- How toxic positivity erodes trust and damages workplace culture.
- Why balancing IQ and EQ is critical in talent acquisition and leadership.
