The Embodiment Coaching Podcast 663. Change Contagion - with Richard Boyatzis PHD
Author and professor Richard Boyatzis joins me on the Embodiment Coaching Podcast to discuss the deeper aspects of leadership, including why management isn't just about IQ or competencies. We dive into topics like emotional contagion, the work of Daniel Goleman, why traditional leadership training often fails, and the role of neuroscience in leadership. Richard shares insights on stress, renewal movements, play, hope, and what truly drives lasting change—whether in sobriety, weight loss, or overcoming narcissism. With his wealth of experience, this conversation is filled with wisdom and practical advice for anyone interested in leadership and personal transformation.
We’re resharing this episode because it’s one of our best, and packed with timeless insights on embodiment that are still relevant today. If you missed it the first time, we think you’ll love it.
