Ep 465: The Importance of EQ in Business' Success with Michael Seaver

Sean: I mean, it should be that important, right? For a guy like you who is a business owner and a speaker and an author to choose this topic. How important is EQ for you today? Michael: Thanks for asking, Sean. It's super important. I've been a coach for 11 years and over those 11 years there's been a lot of iterations of the way that I uplift and serve people. But as time has passed and progressed, what I've realized is that the thing that helps an individual ascend and become their most authentic version of themselves the fastest is their level of EQ or emotional intelligence. Michael: So for me, it started as a child when I really turned back the clock and thought about my childhood and the folks that I was raised around. I didn't have a coach and I didn't have a mentor, and it wasn't always the most emotionally intelligent environment. And so for me, I promised myself that as I aged and got older or was in business in any way, shape, or form, I would not only do my best to become emotionally intelligent myself, but then I would also pay it forward and try to teach others the same things because I know how hard it was in my childhood to not have that. But I've also seen the success that high EQ can bring inside businesses. Michael: Because success inside of businesses is often attributed to someone's or the team's emotional intelligence. So I think there are a lot of reasons why I focus on it and why it's so important to my business, but I just know the power that it can bring to making people live really happy and meaningful lives. - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack Leadership Stack Merch: https://leadershipstack.com/shop/ - - - Michael Seaver Website: https://michaelsseaver.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelsseaver Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelsseaver/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelScottSeaver/
