Line 59: Line 87:
  
 Developing emotional intelligence is a life-long journey. It is important to develop because it separates those who know themselves well and take personal responsibility for their actions from those who lack self-awareness and repeat the same mistakes. In the workplace, it is important to develop because it separates those who build rapport, have influence, and collaborate effectively with others from those who are demanding, lack empathy, and are therefore difficult to work with. This interactive course will provide a foundation for understanding the concepts of emotional intelligence, emotional triggers, and how our thoughts and behaviors can influence how we manage our emotions.

 +**Armored versus Daring Leadership** with Brené Brown
 +
 +//Audio, self paced | ~1 hour//
 +
 +The greatest barrier to daring leadership is armor, or how we self-protect when we’re in fear.
 +
 +[[https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Oo3T5ryR3i005ocQwtkyB?si=b45b10cb71a04c6a|Part 1]] unpacks the most common types of armor, including being a knower versus being a learner, tapping out of hard conversation versus skilling up and leaning in, and using shame and blame to manage others versus using accountability and empathy. This conversation includes real examples and actionable strategies about how we can dare to lead.
 +
 +[[https://open.spotify.com/episode/2QTUy1OkJ5v4LM7zScecLO?si=c217c1d66893428e|Part 2]], four more common types of armor that we use to self-protect when we’re in fear. These barriers include creating a fitting-in culture versus a belonging culture, fostering a scarcity-based culture versus modeling that we are enough and have enough, leading reactively versus leading strategically, and resisting change versus accepting and embracing change.
