Part 2: In this episode, Dwayne and Victoria Theriault delve deeper into the DISC model, stressing the importance of acknowledging and embracing one's personality traits. She challenges the common misconception that success hinges on being 'high D' and instead explores the role of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in business. Victoria expands on how EQ assessments can provide a more profound understanding of empathy, self-awareness, and other personal attributes crucial for effective communication. Drawing from real-life coaching examples, she illustrates the significance of personal growth, resilience, and cultivating strong leadership and team building skills through EQ coaching. The conversation concludes by highlighting the invaluable role of emotional intelligence in the future of work, particularly in light of the growing reliance on artificial intelligence. Victoria emphasizes the need for individuals and companies to prioritize EQ development to thrive in an ever-evolving business landscape.
