The Leader in the Mirror: Mastering Emotional Intelligence at the Top
Join us as we continue this month’s series on “Emotional Intelligence” with special guest Kevin Walsh.
What separates a good leader from a great one? It's not strategy. It's not credentials. It's self-awareness. This week on Leadership Matters with the People's Doctors, we sit down with a senior executive who has walked the halls of organizational power — and learned that the most important work a leader does is the inner work.
This week our guest is Kevin Walsh. Kevin spent 43 years in child welfare, mental health and the juvenile justice system in the state of New York. Kevin has coached and developed leaders across industries, helping them name what they feel, manage what they carry, and connect in ways that transform culture. If you lead people — or aspire to — this conversation will challenge you, equip you, and remind you that emotional intelligence isn't soft. It's the hardest skill you'll ever develop.
