What does emotional intelligence look like in government? In this episode of Equipped, Aaron walks with Jonathan Reynolds MP, Government Chief Whip, for an honest conversation about leadership under pressure - youtu.be/S55M9v_0bV0

Most leaders didn't get into leadership to make people miserable. They got there because they were good at what they did & then one day, they were handed the responsibility for the working lives and well-being of real human beings... & nobody really trained them for that part.

You’ve been told success leads to happiness. It doesn't. Here’s why that buzz only lasts 3 days, and what to do instead 👇 #success #mindset #motivation #mentalhealth

Ever left a meeting feeling drained… even when nothing “bad” happened? You were probably performing. Confidence over anxiety. Calm over anger. Enthusiasm over exhaustion. That’s impression management... not fake, just human.

To be honest, we're a bit blown away. This whole thing started with a simple idea on the drive home from a conference that just didn't sit right with us. We were tired of events where emotional intelligence was treated like a buzzword or a sales pitch. We knew others had to feel the same way. The idea was to create something different. A place for genuine workshops, real conversations, and learning from each other, and not just from a stage. We wanted to bring together people who actually use this stuff - researchers, practitioners, and leaders who could share what works. Seeing every ticket get snapped up tells us we weren't wrong. It's clear you're all looking for the same thing: a no-nonsense, practical approach to emotional intelligence. The fact that this sold out proves that this isn't some niche topic anymore; it’s essential. So, a huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, is scheduled to speak, or has supported us along the way. If you missed out on tickets this time, don't worry. This response has shown us the need is real, and we're already thinking about the future. We can't wait to see you all in Manchester! The EmotionIntell Team 💙

The future of leadership is changing. The ability to understand, apply, and lead with emotional intelligence is no longer a soft skill; it's essential.
