Last night, I watched an episode of Suits on Netflix. If you don't know this series, it's about a top end NY law firm. Very entertaining! 

Anyway, one of the name partners, Louis Litt, turned out to be bullied in school. He lacked the ability to stand up for himself.

It occurred to me that at one stage, most people have had a similar painful experience in which they felt out of control and gave in to someone else.

Sounds familiar?

I bet it does. I’ve been there too.

Time to become a superhero!

Learn how to become more conscious and assertive in my new video training

Consciousness and assertiveness are the third out of twenty elements that make up your emotional intelligence (in short: EI or EQ). 

Because we can measure it, we can transform it.

We also know that there is a fine balance between been blunt and borderline aggressive on one hand, and overly pleasing and submissive on the other. 

An assertive person has developed the ability to say their truth while...

Most probably, you have met business leaders whose behaviour truly put you off, without them even knowing. Right?

You also might have met salespeople who made you feel really awkward as a client and still be completely oblivious to your emotional experience...

I certainly remember how I kept repeating a destructive pattern until well into my thirties before I became more self-aware. Only then, did I make a commitment to make a change for the better.

Self-awareness is one of twenty subcategories of emotional intelligence. 

Because we can measure it, we can transform it.

Watch my second video in this series on EQ

Why would you watch it?

• Great leaders have developed high levels of EQ
• Exceptional sales professionals, especially those in the top 10%, have high levels of EQ
• People that society perceives as unique role models and human beings tend to display high levels of EQ

The opposite is true too: poor leaders, average salesmen and women, and questionable citizens tend to stay...

Time to get personal!

Since March 2020, I noticed that many people got a beating. That is: emotionally speaking.

It made me launch a new series on emotional intelligence (EI or EQ in short). I'll show you what it consists of and how you build each element of it.

In the first video, we'll look at building self-appreciation, self-acceptance and self-confidence.

Golden nuggets - and yes - next time the small video will actually show my full face!!

Watch the new training here

Interesting times, for sure!

Note: even if no one else cares about you - the last man/woman standing should be you. 

Is it time to build your self-esteem?

Let me know.
