   261: How to Engage Your Team and Avoid Making Them Shrink with Bridget Smith

   What happens when an employee who once brought energy, ideas, and initiative to the team starts pulling back? Sometimes what looks like employee disengagement may have started with an everyday interaction. A comment from a leader can unintentionally cause someone to question whether their ideas are valued, whether they should speak up, or whether there is room for them to grow. In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro talks with Bridget Smith, author of Why Did You Say That? Five Things That Managers Say That Stifle Creativity, about leadership communication mistakes that can quietly affect confidence, creativity, and employee engagement. Drawing on more than 30 years in corporate America, Bridget shares five common phrases leaders use, often with no ill intent, and what employees may hear when those words land differently than expected. For senior leaders, the conversation goes beyond choosing better words. It raises a larger question: What are people learning about their value, ideas, and potential from the way they are being led? Listeners will learn: How everyday leadership communication can cause talented employees to pull back or stop speaking up What leaders can say instead when they need to challenge an idea, redirect someone, or encourage a different approach How to create an environment where employees feel valued, contribute their ideas, and continue growing As organizations navigate AI, transformation, and constant disruption, leaders need people willing to think differently, contribute their judgment, and challenge old ways of working. Continuous Elevation™ requires leaders to examine not only what needs to change in the business, but also how their own leadership behaviors may need to evolve. About Bridget Smith Bridget Smith brings more than 30 years of corporate experience across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and governance. She is a regional sales manager in biotech and the author of Why Did You Say That? Five Things That Managers Say That Stifle Creativity. Her work examines how everyday leadership language can affect the people we lead and how greater awareness can help leaders create environments where people feel seen, valued, heard, and able to contribute.

   260: How Can Leaders Improve Emotional Intelligence for Better Communication?

   What if the behavior you’re trying to change isn’t the real issue? In this episode of The Dr. Ginny Show, Dr. Ginny Baro talks with Coach Monique DeMonaco about how emotional intelligence helps leaders better understand themselves and others, communicate more effectively, build stronger relationships, and respond differently when challenges arise. Coach Monique shares her own compelling story of growing up with undiagnosed learning disabilities and seizures while being labeled lazy, unambitious, and not good enough. Her experience offers a powerful example of how easy it is to respond to what we see without understanding what may be driving the behavior. This conversation also explores why emotional intelligence is far more than a “soft skill.” Being knowledgeable in your field can only take you so far if you cannot communicate effectively, connect with others, create buy-in, regulate your emotions, or recover when something doesn’t go as planned. In this episode, you will explore: 🔹 How to improve emotional intelligence and self-awareness by looking beyond behavior to the thoughts, beliefs, experiences, and patterns that may be driving it. 🔹 How emotional intelligence improves communication and relationships, including the ability to listen, understand others, create connection, and communicate in ways others can receive. 🔹 How to build confidence and resilience after failure and why allowing others to work through challenges can be an important part of developing both. After more than 20 years working in emotional intelligence, Coach Monique says she still works on her own EQ. Dr. Ginny agrees: there is always a next level for EQ. It’s an ongoing practice of awareness, growth, and Continuous Elevation™. About Coach Monique DeMonaco Coach Monique DeMonaco is an executive, leadership, and career coach, emotional intelligence expert, author, Rapid Transformational Therapy practitioner, and professional speaker. For more than 20 years, she has combined brain science and emotional intelligence to help others understand and change the patterns affecting how they show up.
