Emotional intelligence is often talked about in leadership.
But in fast-paced, high-performance environments like franchising, it becomes a critical driver of clarity, accountability, and results.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we will welcome Angela Coté, Founder and CEO of AC Inc., a franchise industry thought leader who helps franchisees move from overwhelm to action.
With a rare 360-degree perspective across franchising, as a former multi-unit franchisee for 18 years, a field coach, and someone who grew up inside a brand that scaled to nearly 500 locations, Angela brings real-world insight that resonates deeply with both franchisees and franchisors. Through her coaching, keynote speaking, and the industry’s first certification program for field support teams, she equips leaders with practical tools to improve performance, strengthen leadership, and drive growth.
In The Power of Emotional Intelligence in Business, we explore:
• How emotional intelligence drives action and accountability
• Why franchisees often feel stuck and how to break through it
• The role of leadership in building confidence and momentum
• How field support and coaching impact business outcomes
• Practical ways to lead with clarity in high-pressure environments
