Tom Zierold runs EQuip, a coaching and training company that works with people to help them unlock and better apply their emotional intelligence (EQ) - which is their ability to tune into themself and tune into others and to start seeing emotions as valuable pieces of data to work with. He takes a guided discovery style approach, which means he'll ask questions that can help his clients move towards a perspective shift, as well as offering appropriate EQ based techniques in the context of their specific situation to help them move towards making effective behavioral changes that will help them in their professional and personal lives.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomzierold/Website: https://www.equip-ct.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/equip_ctThe MindSpeaking podcast is about the Human Side of Data.
