Lead with Courage

BONUS EPISODE: Emotional Intelligence with Luminate Leadership

Luminate Leadership

In this episode of Lead with Courage, Cherie is joined by Mandy Dudson to explore one of the most impactful leadership capabilities: emotional intelligence.

Together, they unpack what EQ really means beyond the buzzwords and how leaders can actively develop the five core dimensions: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.

From understanding your "human iceberg" to navigating emotional triggers and practicing daily habits that build calm and clarity, this episode offers both insight and practical tools for leaders who want to respond more effectively, connect more deeply, and lead with heart.

You’ll hear:

  • Why EQ is a skill, not a fixed trait
  • The power of self-awareness as the foundation for empathy
  • How stress affects your ability to respond (and what to do about it)
  • Ways to uncover your personal triggers and help others do the same
  • Why curiosity is the antidote to judgement

Whether you’re a seasoned executive or a developing leader, this conversation is a timely reminder that the more emotionally intelligent our leaders are, the better our workplaces and our world will be.
