The Kingsley Grant Show: Where Emotional Intelligence (EI/EQ) and Leadership Skills Intersect

+++ IT'S IN THE GENIUS +++ You may have heard the phrase, "It's in the genes!" Right? Normally when the phrase is used as a way of highlighting skills, it is generally used in a celebratory way to make sure you know this is something that cannot be duplicated because it is in the genes. I tend to see this a lot in the sports industry as players celebrate their skills and pridefully proclaim where those kinds of skills originate. But when last have you heard someone say, "It's in the genius?" I would dare say, very little or never. Well, this episode, even though it doesn't use the "it's in the genius" phrase, implies that leaders who tap into their zone of genius and find their true self are almost unstoppable. Take a listen as our guest - Ana Liebel - explains. ++++++++++ Who is ANA LIEBEL? Anna is a leadership and team development consultant, a global citizen with a Ukrainian heart, and a tech project manager dedicated to people growth. With an education from three European countries, 6+ years of project management experience within various industries, and leading cross-functional and international teams, Anna is well-equipped to bring a new perspective to the challenges that modern leaders are occupied with. Anna helps leaders reclaim their genius zone by eliminating reactivity, transforming their leadership, and becoming catalysts of a thriving company culture. ++++++++++ Please share this episode with one other person and leave a comment on the platform through which you listen to this show and/or on social media.

+++ SYNERGY FLOW +++ Have you ever been someplace where the synergy was so strong that you immediately felt like this is where you needed to be? And when that happened, do you remember how motivated you were to do whatever you could to contribute something of value to the environment? That's the power of synergy. It's the result of combining forces that ultimately impact the bottom-line. This is what many companies lack and that is why in this episode, our guest Karen Jenkins - provides us with very practical advice on how we can create a synergetic work environment. Take a listen.

+++ UNLOCKING SECRET +++ Have you ever felt somewhat stupid, simply by someone quickly solving a problem that you took days and sometimes weeks, trying to figure out?  It's a terrible blow to one's ego especially mine when it happens to me. Ouch! It seems like they knew the secret to unlock the problem.  I must say, in a few situations, I've been that guy who unlocked the problem, and I can vouch for how good it feels when that happens. What if you knew how to unlock certain secrets by knowing the right questions to ask as well as knowing how to manage conversations? In this episode, our guest - Jon Berghoff - will help us understand how to use Good Questions and Conversations to Unlock Wisdom at Rapid Speed and increase Engagement with Jon Berghoff And Kingsley Grant ++++++++++++ Who is JON BERGHOFF Jon is the Co-Founder and CEO of XCHANGE, a scientific approach to unlocking collective wisdom.

+++ STORIES SELL +++ It's amazing how we are more apt to remember stories than we do facts. I'm able to remember a place, person, or event more if I have an associated story attached. However, if you were to tell me facts and expect me to remember as I do stories, forget it. It ain't happening. This is why someone coined this phrase: Facts tell. Stories sell. Oh, how true this is. Why is it then that leaders don't use more stories in communicating with their people? I believe one of the reasons is vulnerability. It does take some vulnerability to tell stories especially those that are more personal in nature.  In today's episode of The Kingsley Grant Show, you'll hear our guest - Jared Buckley - tell a very moving story of his daughter and how it shifted his leadership mindset. He also helps us understand how to be more vulnerable and how to do so even under stress. Take a listen.  +++++++++++++ Who is JARED BUCKLEY?
