Emotional intelligence used to be call soft skills, however the future just made EI the power skills.

As AI gets smarter, the leaders who can sense emotion, read the room, and stay regulated under pressure will be the ones still standing. Tech will expose emotional blind spots faster than you can say “feedback” the question is, will we use it to connect and influence… or to manipulate?

In this episode, Jac & Ral dive into the future of EQ: boundaried empathy (caring without carrying everything), emotionally intelligent organisations (not just leaders), and why EQ + adaptability is the new leadership currency.

If you think emotional intelligence is fluffy, you’re already behind. It's time to learn more or get automated out of relevance.

Have you ever been asked what your leadership style is? And were you clear, confident and articulate in your response? Most of us either don’t know it, or if we do, don’t communicate it well.

In this episode, Jac and Ral discuss the 10 traditional leader styles – what we think is relevant for today and what we think isn’t. Ral even comes up with a new style (watch this one take off!) and Jac shares 3 new leader archetypes for those leaders who need to be future focused… which is all of us!

Enjoy.

In this episode, Jac and Ral explore the concept of “leading from the side” - a leadership stance that sits between the traditional command-and-control approach and servant leadership (leading from behind).

What organisations need today is less about the single strong person out front giving all the orders, and less about the heroic self-effacing leader in the background, and more about someone who positions themselves alongside their teams enabling, supporting, influencing and co-creating rather than simply directing.

Listen in for practical tips on how to build real relationships, ask powerful questions, delegate ownership, and celebrate small moves in that collaborative direction.
