Surviving the Holidays with Your Sanity Intact:
An EI Guide
Leaders, as we approach the holiday season, many of you are transitioning from leading your organizations to navigating the complex dynamics of family gatherings. This shift requires a different kind of leadership—one rooted not in title, but in Emotional Intelligence.
I speak with high-achievers every day who can manage a multi-million dollar project but dread a three-hour family dinner. Why? Because they approach it with hope instead of a strategy.
Today, I’m giving you that strategy. Your Emotional Intelligence is your greatest asset for not just surviving, but positively influencing your family environment. Here’s your leadership playbook for the holidays.
Leaders, this is our call to action.
Emotional intelligence is the ultimate leadership tool, and it doesn’t stay at the office. Bring it home.
Be the one who sets the tone of peace and connection.
Let go of the need to be right and embrace the power of being present.
This holiday, the greatest legacy you can leave is not a perfect argument won, but a meaningful moment shared.
Give the gift of your emotionally intelligent leadership.
Wishing you a season of powerful connections,
— Steve
