Emotional Intelligence at Work: How to Lead Through Burnout and Change | Dina Denham Smith

Описание: Leadership has changed, and emotions are now at the center of it. In a world where teams expect empathy and authenticity, ignoring emotions isn’t a strength; it’s a liability.

In this conversation, I talk with executive coach and author Dina Denham Smith about her new book, Emotionally Charged: How to Lead in the New World of Work. We unpack how emotional labor has become an invisible part of leadership, why suppressing emotions backfires, and the simple three-step framework leaders can use to recover after emotionally draining days. Dina shares real stories, evidence-based tools, and what every leader needs to know to build resilience and lead with humanity.
