Description

Many leaders pride themselves on their emotional intelligence, but some still fall short of inspiring their teams. Why? Because emotional intelligence without emotional range is incomplete.

In this episode, Allison Dunn reveals:

The difference between emotional intelligence and emotional range

Why understanding emotions isn’t the same as embodying them

Three strategies for developing your emotional range:

The Emotional Palette Assessment – Identify gaps in your range.

The Situational Matching Framework – Match your energy to the moment.

The Emotional Rehearsal Practice – Train yourself to authentically access different states.

A real-world case study of a founder who transformed his team’s energy and performance by developing emotional versatility

You’ll leave with practical tools to stop being emotionally limited and start being emotionally dynamic — the kind of leader whose presence shapes culture, energy, and performance.
