048: How to Deal With an Angry Man


Listen Later

How do we handle someone who’s pissed off?

We don’t want to shut down
And we don’t want to mirror their anger. 

That just escalates things.

The antidote to another person’s anger is curiosity. 🔦💡

Curiosity about yourself and what you’re feeling in that moment. Noticing your emotions will loosen the grip they have on you.

And then curiosity about the other person. You want to seek a genuine understanding of what they’re thinking. 

There's an art to keeping cool amidst another's anger, but it's also a super-power in keeping all situations productive and forward-moving.
