Episode 29: Kenough is Enough: Leading with Emotional Intelligence and Laughable Self-Awareness with Ken Jacobs

On today’s episode of Laughing Matters, we welcome our first returning guest, Ken Jacobs, Principal of Jacobs Consulting and Executive Coaching. Ken emphasizes that leadership is about being someone people choose to follow, not just holding a specific title. He discusses the importance of emotional intelligence and the role it plays in leadership, as well as:

• The difference between coachable and uncoachable leaders
• Knowing you are “kenough” and the right use of self-deprecating humor 
• A story that’s sooo cringeworthy that it’ll scare you into pay attention to detail before jumping to conclusions
