EP278 – Dr. Diane Hamilton: Facing Real Change with Curiosity and Foresight

• Emotional intelligence is not one-size-fits-all
• We’re never as ready for change as we think
• Status quo thinking limits future leadership

• True leadership requires breaking your mold
• Don’t let your image define your decisions
• Grit and clarity matter more than popularity

• Great leaders balance justice and reconciliation
• Stop chasing someone else’s vision of success
• Hope is powerful, but it’s not a leadership plan

“We think that we're ready for change until the real change happens.” - Dr. Diane Hamilton

“Don't be a prisoner of what the world will say.” - Swami Raote

“Hope is not a strategy.” - Steve Fredlund

“I think a lot of leaders need to actually do the thinking and actually get out of that status quo.” - Denis Gianoutsos
