Humans are complex. But understanding ourselves and others is an essential part of human flourishing. When we don't engage with our emotions and the emotions of others in a healthy way, we can develop unhealthy patterns of controlling others, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and more. As a result, we don't show up as our best selves in our personal or professional lives.
In today's episode, Donald Miller talks with Mike Foster, best-selling author, speaker, and executive coach empowering people to turn their setbacks into superpowers. Mike and Don reflect on Mike's latest book, The Seven Primal Questions, discussing the new emotional intelligence tool Mike developed after years of research. Using a seven-question framework, Mike helps people engage emotions in themselves and others in a constructive way. Tune in for a deep dive into the these questions and discover how they can help you develop deeper relationships and greater impact in your sphere of influence.
