Teaching and Learning EQ and Resilience with Kim Bilyeu Virtual Coffee

Hi friends! I’m excited to share this podcast for a couple of reasons. 1) I think it’s inspiring and motivating to hear from people who love what they do for a living, and who are really making a positive change, and 2) It’s about emotional intelligence, and resilience, two things we can all benefit from learning more of.

Kim Bilyeu is passionate about training and leadership. She works in education and leads the worldwide team in charge of developing all the training materials for all employees globally, for Johnson & Johnson, in their cardiac department. When I saw her present on “Mastering Emotional Intelligence Training” as a guest on an ATD webinar, I was struck by the story of how she helped introduce EQ training to help resolve issues they were seeing. Surgeons and college grads were struggling to work together. With Kim's recommendation, Johnson & Johnson tried EQ training on a small pilot group and saw that it had a positive impact - so much so that they saw increased success rates with product adoption and a decrease in turnover. EQ is now a fundamental part of training for all employees at J&J.


I thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot from the conversation with Kim. I hope you do, too.
