Make Every Day Great: Turn Crossroads into Comebacks through Storytelling w/Dr. Rhonda Parker-Taylor
Dr. Rhonda Parker-Taylor joins Tools of the Podcast Trade to discuss how authentic storytelling, clear personal values, and emotional intelligence skills fuel both life success and podcast growth.
She shares her journey from small-town Indiana to author, EQ trainer, and 100-time podcast guest, explaining why purposeful gratitude and daily intention help anyone, especially podcasters, turn rough seas into smoother sailing.
Key Takeaways
- Story First, Metrics Second – Listeners return when every episode delivers a clear, helpful story; chase value, not guest follower counts.
- Emotional Intelligence Outranks IQ – Self-awareness, stress-management, and interpersonal skills predict success more than raw intellect.
- Define Your Values & Boundaries – Knowing what you believe lets you act like a decision-maker instead of defaulting to servitude.
- Gratitude Builds Resilience – List three things you’re grateful for each day for 31 days to train a positive, solution-oriented mindset.
- Crossroads Are Inevitable – Like the characters in her novel Crossroads, everyone faces critical choices; intentional actions decide whether those moments propel or derail us.
“There is no skilled sailor who hasn’t faced rough seas.” – Dr. Rhonda Parker-Taylor
