In honor of Women's History Month, D(g)B welcomes the first of 2 amazing women! Meet Amy Lynn Durham, who takes us one step beyond Emotional Intelligence, into the realm of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). As a “Corporate Mystic”, she shares how to foster SQ in the workplace through unique and effective strategies she's described in her new book, “Create Magic At Work”.  

What in the world is SQ? Amy uses Cindy Wigglesworth's definition, which is, "the ability to maintain inner and outer peace regardless of the situations." It's faith neutral, and helps us to see our interconnectedness, and step more deeply into empathy. 

Amy shared some really accessible practices that can be used to increase a team or organization's SQ.

Other notes we took:

"Selectively data driven" executive sticks with what they’re comfortable with, which is why change often doesn't happen

Arianna Huffington's recent Tweet: Leaders are paid for their judgment, not their stamina. “Powering through” is not a sustainable quality for leadership – it’s ultimately a recipe for failure.
