In this post, I reflect on Day 21 of my LinkedIn Challenge, where I explore the powerful connection between emotional intelligence and the DISC model in leadership. Reading Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Jean Greaves and Travis Bradberry was a wake-up call for me, highlighting the importance of being self-aware and attuned to the emotions of others. Later, as a consultant and trainer, I discovered how DISC further enhances this by helping leaders understand communication styles and natural tendencies. Together, these tools create a roadmap for more empathetic, adaptable leadership. Join me as I discuss the role of self-awareness in refining our leadership style and building stronger team connections. Follow my journey and see how emotional intelligence and DISC can transform your leadership!

An empathetic leader listens to understand, supports their staff, and helps them navigate challenges, making empathy the cornerstone of effective leadership.
