  • Jago - Emotional Intelligence: The Key to Authentic Personal Branding
    May 16 2025

    Send us a text

    We welcome Steve Richards and Ryan O'Keeffe of Jago. They believe that personal branding is about being the real you. It’s about authentic leadership. They are EQ experts, anthropologists, film makers and storytellers and Male Allies to women.

    When women have male allies supporting them, they become braver, more visible and more authentic. This episode explores how personal branding and emotional intelligence serve as foundations for women's empowerment.

    • Personal branding isn't about manufacturing an image but understanding who you truly are and communicating that authentically
    • Women often focus on getting the job done rather than talking about their accomplishments, limiting their visibility
    • Emotional intelligence serves as the foundation for authentic personal branding and effective leadership
    • Women typically score higher on empathy and interpersonal relationships, which are valuable leadership qualities
    • Self-awareness, followed by intentional action, is essential for developing a strong personal brand
    • Male allies play a crucial role in supporting women to take their rightful seats at decision-making tables
    • Breaking taboos like openly discussing menopause helps create supportive environments where all can thrive

    Please keep showing up, using your status, your currency, and showing the world who you are. Use your voice – journal, speak, or sing out loud – however you do it, we hope you join us in saying it, sister.

    • Lucy describes her life-changing trip to Costa Rica, including a magical encounter with sloths and a profound moment of presence during a horse riding excursion
    • Karen shares her challenging journey to motherhood, including conception difficulties, the moment she discovered she was pregnant, and a frightening health scare while in Delhi
    • The importance of creating intentional sisterhood connections and how this transforms group dynamics
    • How leadership evolves from ego-driven to ego-less, allowing for more effective conflict resolution through listening rather than fixing
    • The power of simply acknowledging others' feelings rather than trying to solve or dismiss their concerns
    • Finding legacy and meaning in our experiences, whether through intentional relationships or recognizing inner strength
    • Reframing difficult experiences by asking what growth or wisdom they provided instead of labeling them as fundamentally good or bad

    Say it, Sister invites you to revisit your own peak experiences, unlock the lessons they've given you, and find moments of joy every single day.
