When we look at high-achieving professionals, great leaders, and anyone considered successful, the first things we notice are their abilities, talents, strategies, and determination. We zone in on the hard skills, but soft skills are essential. In particular, there is an area of self-management that not only paves a path to success, it’s the key to combating stress, coming back from burnout, and helping you prioritize self-care in a way you haven’t before. Chantay Golson joins me on the podcast as we dive into how emotional intelligence connects to our success, personally and professionally. This week, episode 218 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about why successful people strengthen their emotional intelligence!

With over 25 years of expertise in mental health, Chantay Golson emphasizes the importance of establishing healthy foundations for intentional living. Her mission is to empower professional women to prioritize self-care and achieve balance. She is intentionally designing her life, rather than simply defaulting to one.

In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, Chantay Golson shares her 3-tier formula for increasing your emotional intelligence and gives you actionable steps to take right now to use emotional self-awareness for better decision-making and stress management.

Chantay and I cover the following topics:

What Emotional intelligence (EQ) is: the ability to be aware of and recognize one’s emotions and respond appropriately.
How recognizing and investigating our triggers and patterns is the first step in developing emotional intelligence.
How self-care (or soul-care as Chantay describes it) is an essential aspect of preventing burnout.

Our stress levels, ability to prioritize self-care, and our personal and professional successes are all impacted by our choices and how we strengthen skills like emotional intelligence.
