About this listen

What if emotional intelligence is the real superpower in a world full of automation? Elemental isn't just about fire and water, it's about learning to lead with authenticity and connection in a tech-driven age.

3 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS:

  1. Ask yourself "What am I good at?" and write it down
  2. Ask your closest friend "What am I good at? What are my biggest strengths?" and write it down
  3. Then ask yourself, "What am I not good at?" and write that down too. This can help you prepare better when your weaknesses arise and know how to respond.

In this episode, Miriam Dixon, Marketing Director at South Valley Chamber of Commerce and Disney College Program alum, joins me to explore Elemental's themes around emotional intelligence, authentic leadership, and staying human in automation-driven work. We discuss:

  • Why emotional intelligence matters more than ever in the age of AI
  • How the Disney College Program teaches you to "earn your ears" through service
  • The difference between genuine connection and performative networking
  • What Elemental reveals about leading through difference and discomfort
  • How to navigate career pivots while staying true to your values

Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or trying to show up authentically in relationships, this conversation gives you practical frameworks grounded in both Disney magic and real-world leadership.
