Noble explains what an EQ consultant does, gives advice to parents teaching their children about emotions, and tells the story of how developing his own EQ helped him become a better leader, husband, and father.

Summary

Our emotions can be complicated, and understanding how they work and how to deal with them is crucial to maintaining healthy relationships both in the workplace and at home. In this episode, Robert chats with Classical Conversations® dad, former army ranger, and longtime friend Noble Gibbens about why Noble became an emotional intelligence (EQ) consultant and helps individuals and teams understand and manage their emotions. Noble explains what an EQ consultant does, narrates a powerful story of helping a stone-cold business leader develop empathy, offers numerous book recommendations for both readers wanting to grow in their EQ and for entrepreneurs, describes the purpose of EQ, gives advice to parents teaching their children about emotions, and finally tells the story of how developing his own EQ helped him become a better leader, husband, and father.

Tune in for another insight-packed episode of Refining Rhetoric!

Quote

“Emotional intelligence is the ability to acknowledge, identify, process, and manage not just your own emotions but also the emotion of others in order to make the best decision for all parties involved. [It’s] getting your emotions to work for you instead of against you.”
Noble Gibbens
