How was your week? Adjusting to life with the new norm?Do you have the new work routine set up and your teams all charging ahead? Working from home all figured out?My answer is - NO, not even close, I wasn't nearly as productive as I wanted to be, I struggled to get out of bed, keep my energy up and focus on anything for more than 5 minutes. I was angry, scared, emotional and at times a bit crazy.I craved interaction with other people, and I judged myself for not being productive and not having the willpower to pull through it.  What happened to me?In this episode, we explore the rollercoaster of emotions many of us went through last week through the eyes of an Emotional Intelligence expert and coach, Cathy MottWe explore the grief cycle, the 4 quadrants of emotional intelligence, active listening, vulnerability, fear, why we need to lead ourselves first before leading others and much more.There are valuable insights to share as we step up and lead through this crisis.00:53 What happened to me last week08:03 The grief cycle10:20 Take the space you need11:16 Judging yourself14:34 Active listening20:24 Vulnerability/strength and balance22:51 Time to be tough?23:58 Coaching questions26:10 The 4 stages of Emotional Intelligence29:20 Resilience31:16 Taking action and accountability37:27 Advice from Cathy as we face Monday
