Emotional Intelligence: Your Greatest Asset and Key to Success
The podcast centers on the value of Emotional Intelligence, which is both a mindset and an approach to life that regards problems as situations that help you learn and grow; it is a way of being and doing in the world that enables you to develop and sustain a positive relationship with yourself and others, at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Coupled with mental fitness, emotional intelligence is an essential component of Positive Intelligence (PQ) that enables you to leverage your power to communicate well, make good decisions that align with your values, and create a positive environment wherever you are. In a word, Positive Intelligence is the key element that creates your path to success. Episodes are theme-oriented and correspond to a letter of the alphabet, like this: A = Awareness, Acceptance, and Action; B= Bold and Brave (with a little vulnerability thrown in), and so on.

9. Curiosity and Trees: The Power of a Sage Ecosystem
In episode 9 on the "C" series of Compassionate Curiosity, I explain how to bring your Sage into group meetings. Imagine there are nine of you in a meeting and need to make an important decision and all of you brought your Judge and chief saboteur. What a disaster! Now, reimagine the scenario in which you all arrive in Sage gear. Members each get a say, and by playing the Sage game of "Yes, And" and employing the 90/10 principle, each person gets to express an idea, going around the room. Sage #1 offers an idea, 90% of which may be bad! But Sage #2 finds 10% of it to like and expresses that AND offers up idea #2. And on it goes until there are nine sage ideas to work with. Groups of humans are interlocking ecosystems, and when the system is healthy all thrive, but if even one part isn't, the system doesn't work. It's like that with trees, whose roots "talk" to each other and work together for the good of all the trees in the group. I quote the German forester Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees, who explains that trees are sentient and behave in humanistic ways with parent trees taking care of their saplings and each other. And I tie this to the ancient Chinese text Tao te Ching, where Verse 39 expresses the value of oneness.
