The EI Guru

Jim Rees

The purpose of this podcast is to create a deeper level of awareness of the critical role emotional intelligence plays in being an exceptional leader. We’ve all seen that the greatest athletes on the planet have invested in coaches to develop their mindset, so that when they’re competing under extreme pressure, they can tap into their best when they need it most. In the corporate world, we call this being emotionally intelligent. So as a leader, when you’re under extreme pressure, you are able to be present and deliberately leave a positive fingerprint in every interaction.

    Episode 7 ( Jessica Pryce-Jones gives a preview of her new book on Intuition )

    In this latest episode I'm joined by Jessica Pryce-Jones who is a Psychologist & Coach working in the corporate world. Luckily, this interview is a pre-launch interview for her new book Intuition at Work which will be available in the new year, so we get to hear all about how we can develop our own intuition before the book comes out. Jess started her career in finance where she learned about numbers, strategy and leadership. After 10 years in the corporate world, Jess did a psychology degree; as she wanted to understand why some of her bosses were brilliant and others were frankly dismal. Those insights launched a new career facilitating, coaching, designing interventions and writing. Coachees and delegates feedback that Jess is warm, funny, challenging and rooted in practicality. Most importantly, she believes in using hard, soft, and intuitive information to get to the heart of complex and opaque professional issues. Tapping into this different knowledge gives fresh insight into how to solve problems, particularly around our worries and our work. Her clients include multinationals in health care, professional services, FMCG, banking, creative, education, manufacturing, publishing and engineering industries as well as the public and not-for- profit sectors.
