Great listen!
Episode 65 was a really good listen this week. I happened to be doing some Leadership training at work alongside the OACO coaching that touched on emotional intelligence, managing individuals, and assessing and deploying talent. One of the sessions was a Steven Covey module on better listening, more specifically, empathetic listening -- really listening, understanding, and acknowledging one's feelings as they speak. Another session was a podcast on the importance of feeling painful emotions. It had two takeaways that I connected with your podcast this week: 1 - Emotions are the thing before action. That is, there is a reason there is an "e" before "motion" in e-motions. 2 - It is important to understand all the emotions - more than just happy, sad, mad - so we can better feel our own emotions and better converse with others more empathetically. In that session, they referenced the emotion wheel - which I just love as there are so many emotions on it. I'm going to get a poster of it so I can use it to do 3 things: 1 - Acknowledge and name my emotions. 2- Acknowledge and name the emotions I am sensing from others, especially for those empathetic listening situations. 3 - Use it to help my children acknowledge and name their emotions. I say all this to say that the podcast was a great listen as it touched on many points in my various training sessions this week; it really helps to put it all together into action.

Zach delivers a practical, common sense, easy to implement plan that, if adhered to, will bring a life-work balance to the ambitious engineer. But this podcast also crosses over to other career paths with his down-to-earth, sage advice.
