On today’s episode we are talking about how not growing your organization’s EQ might be killing your company.

Martijn Lemmens is an experienced manager and coach with thirty years of experience at the intersection of IT and Marketing. He began his career equipped with tactical and technical skills and realized that over the years, his focus shifted to people leadership skills such as mentoring, coaching, building high-performing teams, and leading change processes. For his own development and growth, Martijn has been using PSYCH-K® since 2015, a tool that allows him to change his behavior and automatic programs at a subconscious level. As a PSYCH-K® facilitator and coach, he runs the coaching practice at de Werff to support individuals and organizations with their personal development and growth.

Key Discussion Points:

  • Leading by Example is Crucial: The passage highlights the importance of leaders setting a positive example. If leaders work excessively during weekends and after hours, employees feel compelled to do the same, despite being told otherwise. This inconsistency can lead to stress and burnout among employees.
  • Focus on the Present and Transform Limiting Beliefs: The author emphasizes working in the “here and now” and transforming limiting subconscious beliefs through the method called Psyche. By focusing on what individuals want instead of what they don’t want, they can transform negative feelings and stress into positive, productive outcomes. This approach helps individuals to manage their fears and stresses effectively, leading to better performance and well-being.
  • Personal Responsibility and Growth: The passage discusses the concept of personal responsibility, stressing that individuals are responsible for their own happiness and success. It suggests that acknowledging and owning one’s circumstances is essential for personal growth and developing emotional intelligence (EQ). By taking responsibility for their actions and beliefs, individuals can transform their lives, both personally and professionally.

Top Takeaways for the Audience:

  1. Emotional intelligence is essential for leaders to be effective and successful. It enhances relationships, performance, stress management, and resilience. Leaders should prioritize developing their emotional intelligence to lead better lives and teams.
  2. Our actions and behaviors are ultimately the result of our underlying beliefs. To bring about meaningful change, it is crucial to address and transform these subconscious beliefs. Understanding and working on these beliefs can lead to significant personal and professional growth.
  3. Psyche is a powerful modality for communicating with and reprogramming the subconscious mind. Unlike traditional affirmations or self-talk, Psyche provides a structured process for creating lasting change in beliefs and behaviors. Leaders should consider utilizing this process to facilitate their personal transformation and enhance their leadership effectiveness.

What are you doing to make the most of bad circumstances? I had a tough week the other week. As I was driving to a meeting, my car broke down on the side of the road. It was the most inopportune time! I tried to start it and quickly realized I wasn’t going anywhere in my car. After letting the other person know I would no longer be making our meeting, and after arranging the tow truck, I had an hour to kill. I could have spent it sulking about how I couldn’t afford a broken car, how I was missing a critical meeting, or how life sucks, but instead my first thought was, “Well, now I have time to practice my presentation!” For the next hour, on the side of the road, that’s what I did. There isn’t anything you can do about the past. Once something happens to you, all you can do is choose how you are going to respond to it. Always try to make the most of what happens to you and you will find, in the end, it was probably a valuable experience. Continue reading →
