   From Rescuing to Resilience: Building Emotional Intelligence in a Changing World

   What happens when we stop rescuing and start empowering? In this insightful conversation, I sit down with Coach Monique to explore the powerful intersection of emotional intelligence, brain science, leadership, parenting, and personal transformation. I share my journey from more than three decades in Montessori education and school leadership to transformational leadership and coaching. Coach Monique shares her remarkable path from navigating undiagnosed learning disabilities to becoming a coach who helps individuals, families, executives, and organizations create sustainable change through brain science and emotional intelligence. Together, we examine some of the challenges facing today’s young adults—particularly Gen Z—including the impact of technology, the pandemic, over-rescuing parenting, and reduced opportunities to develop resilience and self-regulation. What many employers are experiencing as a "soft skills" gap may actually be an emotional intelligence and developmental gap. The conversation also explores Coach Monique’s work with executives, families, nonprofits, and young adults, including her MELD program for executive women, support for young adults navigating the "failure to launch" stage, and EQYs, an internationally accredited online learning platform focused on the skills young people need to thrive in the workplace and in life. Shawn and Monique also discuss how transformational tools such as Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) can be integrated into a larger coaching process—not simply to create an immediate breakthrough, but to support lasting, sustainable change. This conversation invites us to reconsider what it means to help someone succeed. Are we rescuing, or are we building resilience? Are we correcting behavior, or developing the emotional intelligence underneath it? If you are a parent, educator, coach, leader, or someone committed to becoming more emotionally intelligent, this episode offers practical insights and thought-provoking perspectives for navigating a world that is changing faster than ever.

   Learning and Confidence, Built Using the Game of Chess!

   Kevin Cripe, a former teacher, shares his journey of using chess to empower students from impoverished schools. He started a chess program at Shackleford School in South Modesto, California, where 90% of students were English language learners. Over 200 tournaments and 14 national championships later, many students became first-generation college graduates. Cripe emphasizes the importance of challenging students, celebrating effort, and fostering a supportive environment. He also discussed his experiences teaching chess in Costa Rica and Panama, and the books he has written. Cripe is open to teaching chess and public speaking engagements and would love to hear from any of my listeners: kevin.cripe@sbcglobal.net (email) and  kevincripemotivationalspeaker.com (website) (http://kevincripemotivationalspeaker.com/)

The Six Pillars of Effective Leadership

Published 24 Feb 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So well, further ado, the six pillars are the first one is integrity and integrity to me is nonnegotiable. If you can't lead with integrity, you'll never have a trusted team behind you. The second pillar's compassion, the third is empathy, the fourth is focus, fifth is stability, and the sixth is humor. And I don't mean being a comedian, you use humor in my leadership as a way to break the ice and as a way to reduce conflict and stress. When individuals are in conflict, they have trouble seeing the forest through the trees. And you've got to get them to relax and kind of break that that rut that they're in together. […]
