This episode is a little different, but will hopefully get you thinking… We’ve discussed emotional intelligence a few times on The Personal Connection podcast, but Joanne H Light has a totally different angle - emotional intelligence when it comes to parenting.  When I first spoke with Joanne, I wasn’t sure if the topic of parenting would really fit into the podcast, but the lessons that even I took (as a non-parent) resonated greatly - plus, as we dive into things in more detail, there is so much that you can take straight in to your business or to the boardroom.  Plus, if you’re building your empire whilst juggling parenthood, battling through the time pressures of life whilst also facing the challenges of transitions in your children’s lives, this episode is for you.  Communication and understanding are at the core of this chat with Joanne H Light, a topic I will always enjoy exploring with different people.  But HOW do you begin to properly understand your children? It starts with calm, it starts with really listening…sound similar to solving workplace scenarios? 2020 brought so many challenges for people across the globe, and now we’re releasing restrictions many employees are finding the ‘temporary’ work from home solution a permanent change. There are so many facets to this - one is balancing time between work and parenthood, another is looking after mental health within the family. There is a great synergy between business life and home life, and understanding where the same skills can be carried into both arenas can be transformational.  If you want to find out more or get your hands on that free hand out, jump on to the links below: Free parenting handout to help you get on top of that burnout!
