What really separates powerful leaders from those who crumble under pressure? It’s not strategy—it’s emotional intelligence.

In this episode of the MPWR Podcast, hosts Eric Pfeiffer and Dawn break down the EQ Matrix, a transformative framework for turning self-awareness into your greatest leadership superpower. From navigating chaos with composure to recognizing emotional blind spots before they sabotage your influence, this conversation will challenge how you see yourself and your role as a leader.

Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is responsible for nearly 90% of what sets high performers apart from their peers. Yet research shows that only 10-15% of people actually have high self-awareness, despite most believing they do. That disconnect has real consequences in leadership—from toxic culture to broken trust.

Discover why EQ isn’t a soft skill—it’s a core competency. You'll hear real-world stories, practical insights, and one leader's painful but powerful wake-up call that will stay with you long after the episode ends.

🎧 Tune in and learn how mastering yourself is the key to leading others well.
