Episode 27: Profound Leadership through Emotional Awareness

Welcome to another episode of HRDQ-U In Review, where we delve into the world of leadership, learning, and development. In today's episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Mike Skrypnek, a seasoned business strategist, leadership coach, trainer, and speaker. Join us as we explore Mike's unique approach to guiding entrepreneurs and industry leaders towards happiness, calm, and love, creating a ripple effect of wisdom and wealth in the world.

Mike shares his wealth of experience, having authored nine books, conducted numerous podcast interviews, and played a significant role in business and philanthropy. In this engaging conversation, he reflects on the evolution of his leadership style and the profound impact it has had on various individuals and organizations.

The conversation then shifts to the changes occurring in the Learning and Development (L&D) space. Mike emphasizes the critical need to integrate L&D training into the mental health and wellness sphere, addressing the challenges of finding qualified trainers who can effectively navigate emotional intelligence gaps in leadership. He advocates for a more holistic and conversational approach that goes beyond traditional methodologies, tackling the root causes of leadership challenges.

Looking ahead, Mike discusses the continuation of his initiatives, such as the UNLimited WORTH Project and UNLimited WORTH Wellness Society. His passion lies in expanding the podcast, reaching more leaders, and fundamentally shifting the mindset of individuals, with the belief that transforming one leader can have a cascading effect on entire companies, communities, and families.

Reflecting on a recent webinar collaboration, Mike shares insights into the unconventional and unexpected nature of the session. Participants experienced a unique blend of disclosure, practical information, and implementable strategies. The relevance of topics such as depression, suicidal thoughts, and childhood trauma to leadership and emotional intelligence becomes clear as Mike unpacks the profound impact on individuals and organizations.

As we transition to a spontaneous Q&A, Mike encourages questions that emerged organically during the webinar. Delve into strategies for getting leaders in the room, the role of HR professionals in teaching emotional intelligence, initiating conversations with leadership teams, and the significance of "highlighting the challenge." Explore the interdisciplinary nature of a deeper dive into emotional intelligence, touching on anthropology, biology, sociology, psychology, neuropsychology, and even quantum physics.

Join us for a thought-provoking episode as we uncover the layers of leadership, learning, and the transformative power of emotional intelligence with the insightful Mike Skrypnek. Tune in to HRDQ-U In Review for an engaging conversation that challenges conventional norms and inspires leaders at every level.
