Are you ready to demystify the four stages of team development?
With the help of our guest, Lucy Smith, a certified DISC practitioner, you'll cultivate a deeper understanding of how high emotional intelligence (EQ) shapes effective teams.
We talk about how the simple knowledge of a new language can drastically transform the way we understand and work with people, and how Lucy's team reports can offer insights into the unique strengths of each individual in your team.
As we work our way through the unique challenges of the veterinary industry, Lucy shares her insights on maintaining effective relationships within a vet team.
She chats about the complex dynamics that shift and adapt as new members join the team, emphasising the importance of self-awareness and its transformative potential.
We also turn the spotlight on emotional intelligence's relationship with DISC styles.
We overview the importance of understanding ambiverts and identifying comfortable and uncomfortable states, along with effective (personal) energy management.
