In the competitive modern-day world, leaders cannot just depend on subject-matter knowledge. By Dr. Sabine Charles They have to change, transform, and motivate. That is why organizations and individual professionals are resorting to programs that address the entirety of leadership—the cognitive, the relational, and the expressive. One of the most attractive ones is the one proposed by Dr. Sabine Charles,

Some of us have heard words like this: "Give it time, and don't give up." Words like, it's going to be okay... just keep going. And sometimes it feels like a line borrowed from someone who isn’t in your room. I hear those quotes when I’m struggling, and they only land when my mind is already calm. But when things are bad and friends are few, well-meaning words can feel hollow — even cruel.

Sometimes, a single word captures an experience so precisely that it changes how we understand our emotions. Retraumatize is one of those words. It speaks to what happens when a healed or healing wound is suddenly reopened by memory, storytelling, imagery, or unexpected reminders. It is the emotional echo of survival returning without invitation. The word surfaced powerfully "In a new four-part documentary by Emmy and Grammy Award–winning executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

The art of leadership is not about position or reward, but it is about eminently knowing the self in the current modern business world. Leaders who develop transparency regarding what they feel, what might set them off, what they are good at, and what they are not cannot only lead effectively, but they can also inspire trust, build authentic relationships, and tackle obstacles with grace.

Quit Comparing: Enough is enough when it comes to being jealous about others If you want to become a better version of yourself… you need a Comparison Detox. Less time viewing people’s statuses on WhatsApp. Stop using Google to spy on people. Find something else to do because if you’re constantly checking on other people. When do you get time to develop your well-being?

Technical knowledge and intelligence are no longer enough to ensure success in the fast-paced and interconnected professional world. The skills to view and control emotions (feelings and emotions of other employees) have become a characteristic of workplace performance. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is becoming one of the significant motivators of good professional relationships, effective teamwork, and enduring leadership. Companies that value EQ usually perform better, have better employee engagement, and have a better level of employee morale.

Stress Management for Emerging Leaders Becoming an emotionally intelligent leader entails a special kind of pressure—the idea of leading others, facing new challenges, and living up to that standard, and yet being true to yourself. With organizations becoming increasingly deft, emotionally deft, and strategically deft, the pressure tends to mount. To the aspiring leaders, these pressures could not be a luxury anymore but a key ingredient to the individual achievement and well-being of their staff.

Why depression is eating away at you. It’s only now, after getting over a terrible pain that consumed me for a long time, I realize how messed up I was. For years I pretended that I was emotionally untouchable. I knowingly lied to myself – but I lied to keep myself from erupting. The day I reached out for help and the aftereffects of self-assessment shocked me by how lost I was.

Yes you can. You’ll be amazed at how easy it gets when you do. Are you in pain? Are worried about something but you’re afraid to tell someone about it? I used to be you. I was very good at pretending, acting as if I had it all under control, but emotionally I was a mess. Why is it hard to open up?

Sometimes people are so convinced that they are a ‘good’ person, they become completely blind to the fact that some of their actions are in fact, ‘bad’. I have seen people become so embodied with their belief that they are good, it becomes unfathomable to them that they could be ‘bad’; that they could be judgmental, selfish, or rude. Each of their actions is totally justifiable to them - ‘everything I do, I do because…

One day you will look back and see where you went wrong. One of my biggest pitfalls growing up is that I was not grateful for what I had. Thank you mom and dad because you made sure I was happy. I grew up knowing right from wrong. I practiced being polite and the church I grew up in had good foundation pillars.

Leadership is a very important determinant of organizational success in the contemporary fast-changing business environment. Organizations are experiencing complexity, among other things, high rates of technological changes, and intensified competition. Good leaders are not just managers but visionaries blending strategies and growth. To overcome such predicaments, experts require systematic development schemes that will help sharpen leadership capabilities, broaden thinking, and add to overall influence.

By Dr. Sabine Charles The key to all organizations that succeed is being in a position to express one's idea simply and convincingly. Effective leaders elicit the gap between vision and implementation with their articulate and assertive dialogues. They minimize ambiguity and coordinate teams because of their ability to communicate their goals very accurately. When the expectations are made directly and respectfully, one will feel grounded, motivated, and informed.

Once upon a time, school was a place of laughter. Where children ran across playgrounds, shared secrets under trees, and dreamt about who they wanted to become. It was where curiosity grew and imagination had no limits. But somewhere along the way, that innocence began to fade. The sound of laughter was replaced by sirens. The word lockdown entered a child’s vocabulary.

Reasons why children deserve safety, not fear. End school shootings, protect innocence, and choose peace over violence.

A raw, honest message about suicidal thoughts, survival, and how steady support and small habits helped me choose life. You’re not alone.

Embrace the Quiet Within During challenging times, true calm isn’t about ignoring the storm—it’s about pausing and returning to your breath. Ground yourself in small anchoring moments: focus on your breath, feel your feet on the ground, or take a thoughtful pause before reacting (dharmawisdom.org, SELF). In these moments, clarity begins to emerge. Reconnect with Your Intentions…

How do you love God and still suffer like non-believers? In my time, unlike Jacobs, I want to fight God in a place like the UFC Octagon. I've been fighting all my life to achieve anything I want. In the Bible, "in the biblical story, Jacob is the one who wrestled with God all night, according to the Bible Project. This event is described in Genesis 32:22-32, where Jacob is encountered by a mysterious man with whom he wrestles until daybreak.

In the current world of leadership, one major factor has shifted and risen to the top as a crucial factor, and that is empathy. In addition to tactical thinking and decision-making skills, empathy that involves embracing and being receptive to one’s team members’ emotions is important in creating a trusting and cooperative environment. Compassionate leaders not only need to work through organizational problems, but they can also motivate people and enthusiasm within their members.​ The importance of empathy in leadership is evident as it becomes the foundation for cultivating trust, collaboration, and long-term engagement.

In the world of today, leadership is no longer simply about strategic thinking or managerial skills. Emotional intelligence, the capacity to comprehend, cope with, and utilize emotions, both personal and of others, has become a necessary skill in aspiring leaders. Emotional intelligence (EI) has become one of the foundations of effective leadership, allowing practitioners to motivate teams, overcome adversity, and build quality relationships at any organizational level.
