In this episode of The Weekly Pause, Beth Leibman joins us for a discussion on communication.  As you listen to the conversation, think about a successful teacher, leader, spouse or any other person that you've encountered.  Did that person engage you?  Were they thought provoking?  Or did they sound like a canned recording telling you something they thought you should hear.  Words matter.  As we go through this discussion, you will hear Beth speak about how her clients learn to communicate effectively, passionately and compellingly. 

The title says it all here. After taking a summer break, Lenore and Paige are back at it. What better way to catch up than a candid conversation about life's lessons and how we've grown our EQ. 

In todays episode of The Weekly Pause, Paige and Lenore speak with Matt Perelstein about learning to attain inner peace on and keep it going everyday. What is inner peace? Is it truly obtainable? Is it a real thing? If you've ever pondered these questions, now is your opportunity to hear all about inner peace and hopefully answer many of your questions. 
As we speak about our own personal journeys, learnings and practices, our hope is that you find a way to get your own inner peace on and live a healthier, happier more fulfilling life! 

More and more people are working remotely, and it seems that may be a trend that may continue.  But working remotely can certainly change the work dynamic. And it brings up some great questions about how to lead in this environment.  But one thing that doesn’t really change by working remotely is managing your emotions.  Or does it?  

Join us as we discuss the benefits of emotional intelligence skills in the remote working environment with Diana Lowe.  Diana is a certified Emotional Intelligence Coach, and is the CEO of Blue Light Leadership, a leadership development company focused on educating, training and coaching emotional intelligence for remote leaders.

Have you ever felt like an imposter at work or in a group?  We’ve all had moments where we’ve felt imperfect and feared being “found out” for not being or knowing what we claim.  But where does this fear come from?  And can emotional intelligence really help us overcome the “Imposter Syndrome”, so we can begin to embrace our imperfect self?

Listen as we discuss these very questions with Amy Sargent, a certified Social + Emotional Intelligence Coach and Executive Director of The Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence (ISEI).

Fear can drive us forward or hold us back.  Fear can lie to us and hijack us into an emotional state of fight, flight, or freeze.  And it can happen in a second – not giving the cognitive brain time to examine the situation and determine the best thought or course of action.  But with Emotional Intelligence practices, we can learn to use fear to our advantage - by pausing to determine the best way to contribute to the situation (through thought, word, and/or action). 

Each of us has within us, the values of love, assessment, knowledge, and decision-making…which value should you use in a given situation?  Listen as we speak with Lynn Taylor, of Taylor Protocols, who understands the power of fear and the power of the silent pause.  He explains how to use the silent pause to examine the fear, determine what our best value in the moment is, and how to use that value to best contribute in any situation.

Relationships are very important to our wellbeing on many levels - but no relationship is more important than the one with yourself!

We often think it's selfish to care for ourselves first, but it's truly the only way to fully care for others.  Taking time for self-care and to nurture our mind, body, soul - and emotions - is time well spent.  And it's not only valuable for us but to those around us, as well.  Learning to love ourselves and do what's best for us (not what is required to meet others' expectations) can give us the freedom we need and can grow our personal power!

Join us as we talk with Cathy Mott, a certified Social & Emotional Intelligence Coach, Executive Coach, Keynote Speaker, and Author of "“Shh…Just Listen! Great Things Happen in The Silence", about her journey to self-love and the impact it has had on her life, and on the lives of her family, friends, and clients.

Parenting is a one of the most valuable, yet difficult, jobs one can have.  And usually, parents are so busy taking care of others, that they neglect their own wellness.  And while social and emotional learning for children and youth is crucial in developing physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy adults, it’s just as important for parents to take care of their wellness – physically, mentally, and emotionally.  Creating a well-balanced life not only keeps us at our best, but it teaches our children the importance of self-care.

In this episode of The Weekly Pause, we learn the importance of balanced wellness – for parents and children.  We are joined by Tabatha Marden, Certified Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, Social-Emotional Learning Consultant, and Mental Health Advocate, who shares her insights and expertise in the areas of wellness for children and their parents.  Learn ways to help children through their anxiety, as well as how to “Rock the F-word [i.e. feelings]”.
