Why Emotional Intelligence is the Leadership Superpower We Need Now

In a world still adjusting to the aftershocks of a global pandemic, remote work, and rapid advances in technology, one thing is clear: leadership is changing.

I recently joined the Silicon Slopes Podcast for a conversation that felt both full-circle and forward-thinking. We talked about my journey—from my Startup Princess days to my current work in leadership development and emotional intelligence—and dove into what’s really impacting leaders and organizations today.

Here’s a quick glimpse into what we discussed:

Why emotional intelligence is declining post-2020—and what it’s costing us
How hybrid and remote work are reshaping productivity, engagement, and trust
The surprising intersection of AI and emotional intelligence
How to build cultures of joy and resilience in the workplace
Leadership fatigue is real—and so is the path to renewal
Why communication and humanities skills are rising in value

We even touched on the future of work, the end of "button pusher" jobs, and why owning your audience (especially on social media) is more important than ever.

Whether you’re leading a team, growing a company, or navigating your own career path—this episode will give you tools, insights, and maybe even a spark of renewed energy for the work ahead.
