Susan Packard Bücher

HGTV cofounder Susan Packard presents a transformative guide to enhancing emotional intelligence (EQ) through a three-step path toward EQ Fitness, aimed at boosting personal satisfaction and productivity in both work and life. Many individuals feel isolated even in crowded environments or carry unproductive emotions like anger and fear into their professional lives. Packard's accessible approach addresses this, especially as technology increasingly mediates our communication. She emphasizes that success originates from within, highlighting the importance of developing interdependent relationships at work and fostering healthy company cultures for leaders. By sharing insights from successful individuals and organizations that embody emotions like hope, empathy, and trust, she explores unconventional themes, such as the emotional toll of workaholism and the role of forgiveness in the workplace. Drawing from her experiences at HGTV and the executives she coaches, Packard introduces an 'inside out' practice of self-discovery to identify and overcome unproductive emotions. She underscores the balance of power and grace in leadership, advocating for resilience and vulnerability as essential traits for navigating challenges and fostering growth. New tools are provided to help individuals bring their best emotional selves to work each day.
