Kristen
MacDermott is a consultant and performance coach who has created
resilience training programs for some of the highest performing
people on the planet, including Naval Special Warfare Command (Navy
SEALs) and the Los Angeles Police Department. Kristin’s programs
have also been used in more than 20 hospitals across the country,
in the Duke Cancer Institute, and in the National Institutes of
Health among others.
Kristin
brings a unique skill set to her executive coaching, leadership
training, and corporate consulting work. The resilience training
curriculum she created has been validated in four studies with
researchers from the Duke Clinical Research Institute, published in
peer-reviewed journals and shown to promote clinically significant
improvement in key wellness and resilience measures.
The cornerstone of Kristin’s resilience training curriculum is emotional intelligence, which is why her expertise lends itself so well to the corporate world. Study after study shows that “the single biggest predictor of professional success is not education, skill set, experience or IQ. It is emotional intelligence.” Kristin’s own research shows that emotional intelligence and resilience can be taught, and these skills improve performance and satisfaction with the workplace, which engenders loyalty to the organization.
From Andy:
One
of the coolest parts of this interview for me was when we talked
about how you can hear the same information from two different
people – and one will trigger you into anger and upset while the
other has no impact at all. In unraveling that, we got to the
reason… that on some level, you believe that the person that
triggered you is right – you believe them, and that causes you to
judge yourself. So the upset is really about self-judgment… and
THAT, you can do something about.
There’s that… and so much more in this conversation. Check it out – you’ll be glad you did!
Enjoy!
