Let's Talk Soul-Business

A new Deep Dive! This time we are talking about Anger. Anger is a so called ' doing' - emotion meaning that a lot of power can come from this emotion. Creative or destructive. Which way it goes depends on your relationship with the emotion. In this conversation we explore: - How anger is an indicator for underlying emotions - How anger can be very damaging for our physical and mental health - Why anger is so much more accepted in the corporate world than the ' softer' emotions - How Anger is never about the other person. It is always about.... you! And as always we try to make it as practical as possible for you! Emotions are crucial parts of being human, and emotions are THE doorway to true connection. Between authentic and real human beings. Allowing emotions (the highs and the lows, the painful and the pleasant ones, ALL of them) into our lives brings so much and is crucial for living a fullfilling life. 👉🏾 So yes as a leader, working with your emotions is one of the most important skills you can focus on.

We are looking forward hearing from you! #emotionalagility #mentalhealth #potential #theboostcompany #coaching #leadership #airforce #personaldevelopment #growth #career Want to know more about Dominique's work?

What does a ‘ flatliner’ look like? What do planets and emotions have to do with each other and how is language relevant when it comes to emotions? In this show Dominique Schreinemachers and Barbara Besancon - Rijntjes talk about one of our favorite topics. EMOTIONS! Many of us have been taught (explicit or implicitly…) to “control yourself” to “ look at the bright side” to “ stay positive” to “ don’t be so dramatic” , to “toughen up” and much much more. The consequence of all this well meant ‘ rules’ is that we are not always able anymore to feel, but even more importantly to connect with other people when emotions are there. And we all see in today’s world what happens when there is no connection anymore. Emotions are crucial parts of being human, and emotions form THE doorway to true connection. Between authentic and real human beings. Allowing emotions (the highs and the lows, the painful and the pleasant ones, ALL of them) into our lives brings so much and is crucial for living a full-filling life. So yes as a leader, working with your emotions is one of the most important skills you can focus on. You can find the show on your Youtube channel or via the regular podcast platforms. We are looking forward hearing from you!

They help their clients to create authentic stories and they believe that through stories and communicating those stories with your whole being, one can change the world. Maartje has been a Speech Coach for more than 10 years and as the owner of The Speech Republic she is also an entrepreneur and soulful leader herself. As The Speech Republic says it Stories that are aligned with your actions are the stories that compel, that bind, that move and shake us to the core, pushing us beyond expectation. Those are stories that beat. In this episode we explore what is the difference between communication being " content dumping" and soulful story telling. Communication that connects people. We also explore what this means for leaders and how you can make a difference. Spoiler; it is about vulnerability, again! https://www.barbararijntjes.com/blog
