6 | Heathere Evans – Gender and Emotional Intelligence in Corporate America

Are you “armoring up” your emotions in business in order to survive, or are you using your emotional intelligence to help you lead from the strongest parts of who you are? In this episode we discuss the emotional methods that people have used to survive the demanding corporate world (as well as the costs of those methods), especially when gender was an obvious factor. Our interview with Heathere Evans teaches us: 1) How it felt to be one of the only women in a male-dominated corporate environment, 2) The effects of shutting off our emotions in order to survive in that environment, and 3) How to begin leading from our authentic, artistic, and inclusive selves.
