You've probably been told to set boundaries to handle difficult people or situations. While it's common advice, it might just be holding you back from true growth in your leadership journey. In this episode, we're flipping that script.

I'm Mark Silverman, and today's episode of The Rising Leader is all about why you should stop setting boundaries. Instead, I'm encouraging you to use those challenging interactions as opportunities to grow and become a calming influence. From dealing with an abusive peer to navigating difficult conversations without losing your cool, we're diving deep into turning adversities into strengths.
