In the workplaces I get to work with, the leaders who are making the biggest impact don’t always have the kind of charisma we’re used to celebrating. They aren’t the loud, showy kind that fills a room. But they bring something else rooted in emotional intelligence. And that’s what’s really changing how teams connect and communicate.

When we're in leadership positions or parenting, it's easy to put ourselves at the centre of it all and believe everything that happens is a commentary on us. But the real work in both roles is to centre someone else. It's about tuning in to what they need, creating the conditions for them to grow, and recognizing that my discomfort or ego isn't the priority. In short, it's not about me. Let's break that down together.
