Growing up in a conservative environment, emotional expression wasn't always encouraged. That was the reality for our guest, David Brzozowski, the Director of Training at TalentSmart EQ. Join us as we dive deep into the nuanced world of EQ, exploring how men and women approach emotional intelligence and the challenges men face in expressing their emotions. David takes us on a journey through the four pivotal EQ skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. We reveal how these skills can be mastered to better engage with others, control our own emotions, and even 'read' a room. Powerfully, we unpack the often-overlooked strength in vulnerability and the harmful consequences of repressing our emotions. Towards the end, we delve deeper into the transformative potential of emotional intelligence in forming lasting connections and creating harmony in our lives. We explore how understanding and managing our emotions can lead to life-defining moments. Tune in as we challenge societal norms and learn to harness the power of emotional intelligence.Follow David BrzozowskiDavid's LinkedInBook: Emotional Intelligence HabitsBook: Emotional Intelligence 2.0Support the showAdditional Resources: Subscribe/Rate/Review on iTunes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HEREStay in the loop with powerful figures in the world of Men's Work.Crossroads - Step Into A New Way Of Being: Is there a gap between who you say you are, or who you think you are, and how you actually show up?

Ever wondered why society holds such rigid definitions of masculinity and the devastating impact it can have? Join us as we sit down with Cordelia Zars of the Empathy Theatre Project to investigate this question, and more. In this enlightening discussion, Cordelia takes us behind the scenes of their groundbreaking musical, Man Up, a poignant exploration of gender violence and the societal pressures of conforming to traditional masculinity.We delve deeply into the journey of Duncan, the protagonist of Man Up, from a vibrant, emotional boy to a figure of conventional masculinity, estranged from his family, friends and his true self. The ripple effect of Duncan's transformation on the audience and cast members is heart-wrenching but also serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating the healing power of such narratives. We further discuss the upcoming production, We're Still Here, a testament to resilience and unity during trying times.The Empathy Theatre Project isn't just about raising awareness; it's also about fostering collaboration. In our conversation, we highlight their unique musical theater project bringing together indigenous and non-indigenous people.

A journey that began with a few men in Melbourne growing mustaches, has now bloomed into a global movement. Movember, as it's known, has raised over $800 million, advocating primarily for men's health issues including prostate and testicular cancer, along with mental health and suicide prevention.

You might be familiar with the phrase 'emotional intelligence,' but do you know how deeply it can impact the lives of those on the front lines of service? Today's guest, Greg Campbell, Ph.D. VP of Law Enforcement & Government at TalentSmart EQ and former Deputy Chief Inspector of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service unpacks the transformative power of emotional intelligence, particularly amongst service personnel. Drawing from his personal journey that began in Compton and led to a career in law enforcement, Greg offers invaluable perspectives on understanding and harnessing our emotions to shape healthier actions.Growing up, Greg's father, a Vietnam War veteran, was emotionally distant due to unaddressed war trauma, and this personal experience sparked his interest in emotional intelligence and its potential to heal and empower. His research on the impact of emotional intelligence on first responders and military personnel is absolutely fascinating. Emotional intelligence is not just about processing trauma but also about understanding our emotions and using them to guide our actions better. As our conversation with Dr. Campbell evolves, we touch upon the realities of law enforcement and how emotional intelligence can play a vital role in policing. The power of emotional intelligence is not just theoretical; it's practical and applicable in the real world—from mentoring and training to community policing.Show Note Resources:LinkedIn: Gregory Campbell, PhD Book: Emotional Intelligence 2.0Book: Emotional Intelligence HabitsSupport the showAdditional Resources: Subscribe/Rate/Review on iTunes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HEREStay in the loop with powerful figures in the world of Men's Work.Crossroads - Step Into A New Way Of Being: Is there a gap between who you say you are, or who you think you are, and how you actually show up?

Ready to unlock a new level of understanding? Today we journey into the world of integral philosophy with our esteemed guest, Steve McIntosh. We explore the evolution of consciousness and culture, and delve into the core idea that human problems can be traced back to consciousness itself. We traverse through the roots of integral philosophy in the 19th century German idealists and discuss its profound spiritual and political implications.Ever pondered how our world-views shape us and our society?  Steve and I examine the large-scale historical structures, values, and problems created by modernity. Could it be that the environmental destruction, nuclear proliferation, and gross inequality we face are a direct result of our world-views? We explore this thought-provoking question and also discuss the dignities and disasters associated with each worldview – modernity, traditionalism, and postmodernism.And it doesn't stop at understanding. We delve deep into the intriguing process of cultural evolution and integration. Discover how postmodern progressive values have over time become a significant cultural structure and how an integral philosophy could provide a way to synthesize these different world-views. Is it possible that this could be the beginning of a second enlightenment? (0:00:01) - Exploring Integral Philosophy in Evolution(0:10:51) - Exploring Worldviews(0:21:57) - Developing Worldviews and Need for Understanding(0:32:11) - Cultural Evolution and Integration(0:48:33) - Progressivism's Challenges and Opportunities for ReconciliationThe Book:   Developmental Politics: How America Can Grow Into a Better Version of ItselfDevelopmental Politics Website: https://developmentalpolitics.org/ Twitter: @PoliticsDevelopSupport the showAdditional Resources: Subscribe/Rate/Review on iTunes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HEREStay in the loop with powerful figures in the world of Men's Work.Crossroads - Step Into A New Way Of Being: Is there a gap between who you say you are, or who you think you are, and how you actually show up?

We delve into the world of emotions and explore how shame can only be experienced when supported by one of the four core emotions.Discover the power of saying yes and no with Stefan's Penny Model. Learn how saying yes to something we want to say no to, and vice versa, can lead to fatigue, suppression, and even depression. Stefan breaks down the three main options when we are depressed and provides an insightful look at how addiction and self-harm are often dysfunctional attempts to process trauma. Moreover, we take a deep look into how childhood traumas can be held at a cellular level and accumulate, creating emotional burdens.Finally, Stefan takes us through the importance of expressing our emotions and setting boundaries, and how taking action with our emotions can help reduce their intensity.
