    Best of 2025: Emotional Intelligence Still Matters in the Age of AI with Caroline Stokes

    As we close out a strong year for The Leadership Habit Podcast, we are revisiting three of the most impactful conversations from 2025. These episodes challenged conventional thinking, encouraged deeper reflection, and offered leaders practical insight for navigating change. Our Best of 2025 series brings these standout conversations back as we look ahead to new voices and ideas in 2026.

    The second episode in this series features leadership strategist and author Caroline Stokes. In Emotional Intelligence Still Matters in the Age of AI, Caroline explores the mindset shifts leaders must make to remain effective in a world shaped by artificial intelligence, climate disruption, and societal change.

    This conversation challenges outdated leadership models that prioritize speed and scale over emotional awareness. Caroline explains why emotional intelligence, radical listening, and trauma-aware leadership are not optional skills but core capabilities for leading in a polycrisis era. As technology reshapes work, leaders must focus just as much on how people experience change as on the change itself.

    Revisiting this episode is a timely reminder that the most future-ready leaders are those who combine adaptability with empathy and clarity. Rather than resisting uncertainty, Caroline encourages leaders to meet it with curiosity, courage, and a willingness to rethink how leadership systems are designed.

    We look forward to sharing more conversations with innovative and forward-thinking leaders in 2026. Until then, this episode remains one of the most important discussions of the year for leaders preparing for what comes next.

  • How to Navigate Conflict and Set Boundaries at Work with Dr. Jen Fry

    How to Navigate Conflict and Set Boundaries at Work with Dr. Jen Fry
    Nov 14 2025
    Conflict is part of being human, but many leaders still struggle to approach difficult conversations in a healthy, productive way. Whether it shows up as tension on a team, discomfort around identity-based issues, or uncertainty about when to speak up, many professionals have never been given the tools to navigate conflict with confidence. In this episode of The Leadership Habit Podcast, host Jenn DeWall speaks with Dr. Jen Fry, a social justice educator, speaker, and researcher who helps individuals and organizations understand how identity, communication, and power dynamics shape the way we engage with one another. Through her deeply practical and accessible approach, she shows leaders how to build stronger relationships, develop healthy boundaries, and embrace conflict as an opportunity for growth. Meet Dr. Jen Fry, Conflict Literacy Expert Dr. Jen Fry is the founder of JenFryTalks, a social justice education firm that works with organizations, teams, and leaders to help them better understand race, identity, conflict, and communication. With a background in collegiate athletics, a doctorate focused on social justice and higher education, and years of experience coaching leaders through difficult conversations, Dr. Fry brings a grounded and approachable style to complex topics. She has worked with companies, universities, and sports organizations across the country, helping people understand how identity shows up in everyday interactions and how to communicate compassionately, directly, and effectively. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, ESPN, NPR, and other major outlets. Why Conflict Is Necessary for Growth Many professionals have been conditioned to think of conflict as something to avoid. Dr. Fry challenges this belief by explaining that conflict is not inherently harmful. It is simply a signal that something needs attention. When handled with clarity and care, conflict creates opportunities to repair, improve, and deepen relationships. She explains that conflict avoidance often comes from fear. People fear being misunderstood, disliked, or labeled as difficult. As a result, they gloss over issues that need to be addressed, causing those small moments to grow into long-term resentment. Healthy conflict, on the other hand, creates space for honesty, accountability, and trust. Dr. Fry emphasizes that leaders must get comfortable being uncomfortable. Growth requires willing participation in conversations that may feel awkward or tense. By learning to name what is happening, set appropriate boundaries, and stay present in the moment, leaders can strengthen their teams and reduce long-term friction. Understanding the Role of Identity Managing conflict requires understanding your own identity and how it shapes how you show up. Dr. Fry encourages leaders to consider how their lived experiences, cultural background, and social identity shape their lens. For example, someone who grew up in a family that avoided conflict may naturally default to silence. Someone who learned early in life that speaking up had negative consequences may hesitate to voice concerns. Someone who carries marginalized identities may navigate conversations with stakes or risks different from those of colleagues who hold more privilege. Recognizing these influences is not about judgment. It is about awareness. When leaders understand their own communication patterns, they can approach conflict more intentionally instead of reacting from old habits. Why Boundaries Are Essential One of the most powerful messages from Dr. Fry is that boundaries are not barriers. They are tools for clarity, safety, and mutual respect. Boundaries allow individuals to say what they need, articulate what is not acceptable, and protect their emotional and psychological well-being. Dr. Fry explains that many people struggle with boundaries because they confuse them with ultimatums. Boundaries are not threats. They are statements about what you can and cannot manage. For example: I can talk about this issue, but I need a few hours to process it first.I want to resolve this, but I cannot do that while being interrupted.I am willing to listen, but I will not participate if the conversation becomes disrespectful. Healthy boundaries help teams function more effectively. They reduce assumptions, prevent miscommunication, and build trust. Intent Versus Impact Another key insight Dr. Fry highlights is the difference between intent and impact. Good intentions do not erase harm. Leaders often justify their actions by explaining what they meant rather than acknowledging the other person’s experience. Dr. Fry recommends focusing on impact first. When someone is hurt, the priority is to understand the harm, take responsibility where appropriate, and repair the relationship. This approach builds credibility and strengthens team cohesion. How to Approach Difficult Conversations More Effectively Throughout the episode, Dr. Fry shares practical strategies ...
