Episode 2: Emotional Intelligence Isn’t Optional

Coaching with intention. Leading with heart.

We’ve all had that moment.

The whistle blows. The gym is loud.

And before you know it—you’ve snapped.

Your tone, your body language, your presence—it all speaks louder than your clipboard ever could.

In this episode of Beyond the XO, Coach Mo unpacks why emotional intelligence isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s a must-have. From self-awareness to regulation, from empathy to relationship management, we’ll break down the science, the stories, and the sticky moments that show just how much EQ shapes the way we lead.

You’ll hear how one yellow card became a mirror, why presence trumps perfection, and how small shifts in awareness can change the trajectory of your team—and your legacy.

Whether you’re managing athletes, colleagues, or even your own kids, this episode reminds us: the real win is learning to lead yourself before you lead anyone else.
