Yes, the Emotional LEAP is a thing! It is something that you can learn and master with time and effort.People with high emotional intelligence have many positive qualities that Leaders need.

The ladies of P&A are here to discuss the topic of Workplace Trauma and Drama. They will be talking about cultural appropriations, white women's questions about being an "other," and how you can manage your identity as a person who does not identify with any one culture or ethnic group to get ahead at work. Whether that means passing up opportunities because they don't seem available only through the black female lens (and then regretting not trying) OR taking them even further than what would naturally come easy if you were just colorblind.Tune in to the newest episode of Coach Ham's podcast, Workplace Trauma, and Drama. This show will have you laughing as she chats about some funny workplace moments from her time coaching people all over!

Join Dr. Darius Cureton and me as we discuss the art of Code-Switching between different groups and adopting the values, norms, or culture belonging to another group is called "code-switching." This term can be applied when a person feels like they don't belong in their original racial group but want it more than anything else. These types of identity threats challenge one's authenticity as well because there may always come across something that makes them question whether being part white means less instead; this puts pressure on every aspect: social status (a high position), privilege, etc., making all these aspects compete against each other rather than unite under common goals!

Your soul is a part of you that strives for peace and love. It's connected to the divine, which means it has an actual connection with everything else in existence too! Your ego—or "mask," as some people call them–is what distinguishes us from other humans by doing things such as having goals or aspirations outside our primary identity: being human. The two aspects make up who we are consciously deciding how much noise comes through each day while still staying true to their natural state....Join me as I discuss the fall from grace and hear others' perspectives.....

Cancel culture is a cultural boycott. Whether on race, diversity, or hiring policies, freedom of expression in the workplace may present new challenges for corporate managers, compliance, and human resource professionals, given the increased tensions and social unrest seen across the United States. It allows "marginalized people to seek accountability where the justice system fails. To be "canceled" means that a group decides to stop supporting a person, place, or thing based on a perceived or actual transgression. Our guest today is Hans and Tristan! They are going to share with us their thoughts on cancel culture from a mental health perspective.

If we choose leaders by how confident they appear rather than by how confident or competent they are, we not only end up choosing more men to lead us but ultimately choose more incompetent men...why do people view confident others as more competent, even when their performance suggests otherwise?

Have you ever heard the term Brazen used in the business sector? This one word can make such a difference in the way we feel, behave, and exude. What I love about being Brazen over Brave is the ability to sense strength, power, confidence.  I don't want you to get confused when Brazen's is vital, not arrogant, vein, or an ass. I mean, you have the choice to be brazen in a conscious way. We become so focused on the task that we forget about the people. Listen in for more on Brazen or Bold Leadership; either you got it, or you don't!

Join me as I discuss some of the most audacious things I hear in corporate America and why certain things need highlight instead of swept under the rug. For minorities, using EQ is an integral part of maintaining bonds and building company culture. These skills, which tout as the key to modern business leadership success, have been a part of Black people’s survival strategy in this country since enslavement. People’s identities connect to productivity metrics that discount our humanity. A sense of belonging to a greater community improves motivation, health, engagement with the world, and general well-being. Our ability to produce isn’t what defines us—allowing us to make space can help us connect to our identities and separate them from our labor.

This episode will discuss what is needed for you, my aspiring leader, to either build your own house around the table or snatch a seat. We will discuss what it means to LEAD and having a clear understanding that Diversity and Inclusion is not a trend nor a thing. It is a living, breathing organism that, if not fed, will tear apart corporations. Diversity is not a trend; for those who speak about representation, make sure it is visible to those who lead and those who need to be led. 

This episode will dive into the cost of code-switching, and how those black and brown leaders can level up if they spill just enough tea so they can gain access to the seat. Your authentic self should be the basis of your leadership style. Make sure yo take a good look at who you are before showcasing and defending everything that comes naturally.
