In this episode of The Weekly Pause, Beth Leibman joins us for a discussion on communication. As you listen to the conversation, think about a successful teacher, leader, spouse or any other person that you've encountered. Did that person engage you? Were they thought provoking? Or did they sound like a canned recording telling you something they thought you should hear. Words matter. As we go through this discussion, you will hear Beth speak about how her ...

More and more people are working remotely, and it seems that may be a trend that may continue. But working remotely can certainly change the work dynamic. And it brings up some great questions about how to lead in this environment. But one thing that doesn’t really change by working remotely is managing your emotions. Or does it? Join us as we discuss the benefits of emotional intelligence skills in the remote working environment with Diana Lowe. Diana is a certi...
Have you ever felt like an imposter at work or in a group? We’ve all had moments where we’ve felt imperfect and feared being “found out” for not being or knowing what we claim. But where does this fear come from? And can emotional intelligence really help us overcome the “Imposter Syndrome”, so we can begin to embrace our imperfect self?Listen as we discuss these very questions with Amy Sargent, a certified Social + Emotional Intelligence Coach and Executive Director of The ...
Fear can drive us forward or hold us back. Fear can lie to us and hijack us into an emotional state of fight, flight, or freeze. And it can happen in a second – not giving the cognitive brain time to examine the situation and determine the best thought or course of action. But with Emotional Intelligence practices, we can learn to use fear to our advantage - by pausing to determine the best way to contribute to the situation (through thought, word, and/or action). Each ...
Relationships are very important to our wellbeing on many levels - but no relationship is more important than the one with yourself!We often think it's selfish to care for ourselves first, but it's truly the only way to fully care for others. Taking time for self-care and to nurture our mind, body, soul - and emotions - is time well spent. And it's not only valuable for us but to those around us, as well. Learning to love ourselves and do what's best for us (not what is requ...
Parenting is a one of the most valuable, yet difficult, jobs one can have. And usually, parents are so busy taking care of others, that they neglect their own wellness. And while social and emotional learning for children and youth is crucial in developing physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy adults, it’s just as important for parents to take care of their wellness – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Creating a well-balanced life not only keeps us at our best, ...
The human biology contains thousands of emotions – each serving a purpose in your personal and professional life. But how do you survive all the feelings you experience in a day? And what about the emotions brought on by memories of the past or anticipations about the future?The main force in managing your emotions and gaining the ability to accept both pleasant and unpleasant emotions as information to make better life decisions, is (as you probably know by now) Emotional Intelli...

Each of us has encountered times in our lives when we embarked on a journey that we believed in, yet, heard that voice in our head, our ego, telling us that there is no way we can accomplish our goal. Adding to that inner voice, there could be other external voices, adding fuel to the fire we have created by not having faith in us, telling us only what can go wrong or just viewing our thoughts in a completely negative way. These external voices can come from a person that we know,...
One of the things that bonds us all in our humanness, is our emotions. And we mainly learn about our emotions, and the boundaries others set for our emotions, from our parents, teachers, and other influential adults during our childhood years. But what if you didn’t learn about managing your emotions when you were young? What if you just found out about Emotional Intelligence (EQ)? The great blessing of life is that you can always learn! You can learn the c...
Given all of the challenges life tends to bring, it can be difficult to see the blessings in some situations. And that is normal since our brains are "trained" to perceive and protect us from danger. But more times than not, what our brains perceive as danger may not be danger, but rather a challenge - a challenge which may be overcome through perseverance and realistic positivity, both of which are OUR CHOICE. Realistic positivity is "seeing an opportunity rather than a thr...
Home is where we go to find security, comfort, and peace. It should be a place where we can relax, just breathe, and be ourselves. But did you know that the interior design of our home can further affect our emotions and mood? The colors, textures, styles, and smells of our home can evoke pleasant or unpleasant emotions and sometimes even the smallest change in décor can make all the difference in how you feel when you come home. Join us as we talk with Diana Hall of I...
How often do you judge yourself for feeling a certain emotion? When you were growing up, were you allowed to have a range of emotions or were you told which emotions were acceptable and to “get over” the other ones? Emotions are a part of our being, they are neither good nor bad, and they all serve a purpose in our human evolution and survival, and in our own personal growth. One way to use the power of their purpose is to be curious about the emotion and why you may be expe...
One element of strong Emotional Intelligence is having a growth mindset. A growth mindset allows us to learn and to develop in all areas of wellbeing. And two of the best ways to begin developing a growth mindset is by practicing realistic optimism, and by focusing on the present moment. Listen as Monica G.M. Smith, MS, MMT, owner of Mindful Endeavors, LLC and author of "Stress Lightly: Practicing the Art of Self-Care", discusses the 5 R’s and shares other techniques we can...
Preparing for the day can help it run more smoothly; however, sometimes unexpected things happen which require us to move out of our comfort zone and make moment-to-moment decisions. But by looking to your purpose and using your cognitive thinking skills, you may be able to make better decisions. This can be very difficult when emotions are carrying high energy, and even more difficult when the situation presents potential dangers. Such was the case when an armed man entered...
Grief and sorrow from trauma are emotions that, while perhaps unpleasant to experience, can serve a powerful purpose. They can provide a way for us to express how we feel about a loss or provide a signal for us to seek out support and comfort. There are differing levels of grief and sorrow, and sometimes things happen that are out of our control, which cause tremendous levels of these emotions. But through them, we can learn to heal. Listen as we speak with Scarlett L...
