Chris Williams’ journey is unlike most—he went from working in high-tech companies to becoming a licensed therapist, giving him a one-of-a-kind perspective on leadership, workplace culture, and personal growth.
In this episode, we dive into the power (and pitfalls) of emotional intelligence (EQ) and why it’s one of the most misunderstood leadership skills today. Chris unpacks the biggest EQ mistakes leaders make, the balance between empathy and accountability, and how self-awareness can make or break a career.
🔥 What we cover in this episode:
✅ Is emotional intelligence a leadership superpower or just a corporate buzzword?
✅ Why hustle culture is ruining productivity—and how slowing down can help you get ahead.
✅ The surprising connection between boredom and innovation—why doing nothing may be the key to breakthrough ideas.
✅ The real reason DEI is being phased out in some companies—and whether diversity of thought is the next evolution.
✅ The psychological weaknesses of tech leaders—and why their biggest blind spots keep repeating.
Chris brings deep industry knowledge, real-world experience, and hard-hitting insights into what really makes a leader effective. Whether you’re in tech, business, leadership, or personal development, this episode is packed with game-changing takeaways.
