Inside the Pickle Jar: Connecting with the Spectrum
Strategies to Improve Your Emotional Intelligence: EQ series Pt. 3
Hey picklers! Tonya here, and I'm about to get REAL about something that changed my life as a neurodivergent professional, and I bet it'll change yours too.
Ever had that moment where everyone else seems to have gotten some secret social handbook you missed? Yeah, me too. That's why I'm OBSESSED with emotional intelligence, and today we're diving DEEP into the four EQ superpowers that can transform your work life (without forcing you to become someone you're not).
In this juicy episode of Inside the Pickle Jar, I'm breaking down:
- Self-awareness: How to decode your emotional patterns WITHOUT going down those infamous neurodivergent rabbit holes (I'll share the embarrassing work meltdown that taught me this one!)
- Self-management: My actual step-by-step system for handling overwhelm before it becomes a five-alarm fire (including the "pickle jar pause" technique that saved my career)
- Social awareness: How to read the room when your brain processes social cues differently (with zero masking required!)
- Relationship management: The exact scripts I use to navigate tricky workplace dynamics with my ADHD brain (that you can steal immediately)
Look, I spent YEARS thinking I was just "bad at people" before I discovered these game-changers. Whether you're autistic, ADHD, or your brain just works differently, these aren't your typical "make eye contact and smile" tips – these are neurodivergent-tested, real-world strategies from someone who's been in the trenches.
