Moment Mastery: Leading Beyond Autopilot
In this special episode, Dr. Cathy interviews Dr. Relly Nadler about his journey into the science of emotional intelligence and the breakthrough tools he’s developed to help leaders excel in the moments that matter most. Although executives show their emotional intelligence in split-second interactions, most of us operate on autopilot up to 95% of the time. As Dr. Relly says, “If you stay on autopilot, you stay average.” Drawing from emotional intelligence, positive psychology, neuroscience, and peak performance research, Dr. Relly shares the “turbulence tools” he’s used with more than 225 companies and over 2,000 executive coaches. Listeners will learn the five questions that can elevate EI in just 15 seconds, along with practical, immediately usable strategies to become more strategic, productive, and self-aware—right in the moment. If you want to break free from autopilot and lead with purpose, precision, and presence, this episode is your roadmap.

Do You Have an Emotionally Intelligent Team?
Is it that they have a brilliant leader or that every team member is a top performer? The truth is that those help, but neither of them differentiates the best teams. Exceptional teams stand apart from others by building an emotionally intelligent ecosystem (not just the EI of leaders or employees). Unlike most, emotionally intelligent teams develop social norms and routines that motivate teamwork by building a genuine sense of belonging among team members. These norms prioritize team member feedback and development, and encourage constructive debate that produces effective decisions and novel ideas Vanessa Druskat is an associate professor at the Peter T.

Managing Our Minds: Before We Manage People
Studies have found that 40-60% of high-performing employees fail or underperform when appointed as managers within their first two years on the job. Such situations are costly for both the managers who fear demotions or lose out on salary increases and promotions, as well as the organizations that lose talent and productivity. The cause of this high rate of failure is due to the vast majority of new managers never receiving the leadership training they desperately need to succeed in their role. Ramona Shaw runs , a 12-week program that coaches first-time managers to become confident and competent leaders who deliver results and who people love to work with. Through the program, she has helped hundreds of new managers at startups and leading companies — including , Twitch, Asana, Lionsgate, and Dropbox — successfully transition into leadership roles. Before becoming a leadership coach, worked at Partners Group, a global private markets firm with $127B in assets under management and over 1,500 professionals across 20 offices worldwide.

As a former C-suite executive, he's driven double-digit growth, streamlined operations, and transformed organizations worldwide. But his real power comes from something unexpected: Mindfulness. Raised in an affluent family in India, Singh mastered classical music by age 13 but was restless.

That pivotal experience revealed the transformative power of presence, empathy, and emotional intelligence in leadership—and it inspired his life’s mission to share these tools with others. Today, Singh is an advocate for redefining leadership in a fast-paced world. His signature frameworks, The Ascendancy Action™ System and Mindful Leadership Mastery Compass, equip leaders to transcend stress, foster resilience, and cultivate authenticity.
