Mastering Emotional Intelligence: In-the-Moment Strategies for Managing Stress with Dr. Julie Wilkes

How well do you really know your emotions…and could understanding them be the key to transforming both your personal life and your work as a clinician?

In this episode of "On The Cusp," Dr. Brett Gilbert sits down with Dr. Julie Wilkes, PhD, author, executive, and emotional intelligence expert, for an inspiring conversation about the real impact of EQ (emotional intelligence). Together, they break down what emotional intelligence truly means, share evidence-based tools to elevate your EQ, and discuss how clinicians (and anyone!) can use these skills to find more focus, resilience, and fulfillment in both their careers and their daily lives.

This episode explores:

A clear definition of emotional intelligence and EQ, including why it’s measurable and how it differs from IQ;
Common themes and challenges that emotional intelligence can help address—from burnout and limiting beliefs to imposter syndrome and self-sabotage.
Practical, in-the-moment strategies like box breathing and daily affirmations, with science-backed tips on how to build these habits into your routine (even if you’re skeptical or stretched for time);
How emotional intelligence can dramatically improve job performance, presence, and happiness, especially in high-stress professions like clinical care—plus warning signs of burnout to watch for;
The roles of gratitude, collaboration and small daily changes—including Dr. Wilkes’ personal “morning dance” routine—in reshaping your internal world and building lasting wellbeing.

If you’re ready to take a tangible step toward greater calm, joy, and professional satisfaction—whether that means a few deep breaths, a new gratitude ritual, or exploring more about EQ—start today.
