Ep. 12 – Triggered at Work
In this episode of Relentless & Real, we talk about one of the hardest leadership moments to navigate: the unexpected trigger.
The criticism you didn’t see coming.The awkward moment in a meeting.The conversation that suddenly turns emotional.
These moments are predictable in leadership, even when the exact situation is not.
We break down how to prepare for the unpredictable by focusing on the one thing you always control: your 20 square feet. Instead of rehearsing arguments in your head or walking into conversations ready to fight, the real work is deciding in advance how you want to show up.
We talk about how to slow down your reaction, ask better questions, and keep the outcome in mind when emotions start to rise. From performance reviews to difficult conversations to everyday misunderstandings, leadership is tested in the moments when you are caught off guard.
The goal is not perfection. The goal is discipline.
Because when leaders manage their response instead of reacting on default, they create trust, protect relationships, and move conversations forward even in uncomfortable moments.
