Ever wonder how your emotional intelligence shapes what you say and how you show up?
In this episode of the Magnetic Communication Podcast, we dive into Emotional Intelligence Self-Perception, the first dial on your EQ Switchboard.
Host Sandy Gerber (Certified Communication & Emotional Intelligence Trainer) helps you discover how to tune into your own emotions – before they spill into your conversations, meetings, or relationships.
If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking something you said (or didn’t say), felt emotionally foggy at work, or snapped when you meant to stay calm… this episode is for you.
Because before you can say the right thing or lead with impact, you have to know what’s going on inside your own mind.
That’s what Self-Perception is all about – and today, you’ll get a clear, funny, and surprisingly doable breakdown of what it really means to “be self-aware.”
You’ll learn:

Whether you’re navigating a tough conversation, trying to stay calm in a stressful moment, or just figuring out why you feel so off lately, this episode will help you get clear on what you’re actually feeling – and why it matters.
Sandy walks you through the EQ Switchboard™ – her five-part framework for emotionally intelligent communication. You’ll see why Self-Perception is the foundation, and how it quietly shapes what you say, how you lead, and even how people respond to you.
