When someone upsets you, do you tell yourself "they made me angry"—or do you recognize that you're choosing your response? In this episode, I share a story from my early leadership days and a five-step framework I've developed for reclaiming emotional remote control.

Main Ideas:

• Why saying "someone made me feel" means giving away your emotional control
• My story of creating a manual my team didn't use and the anger I felt
• The five-step framework for reclaiming your emotional remote control
• How to challenge the stories we tell ourselves about external triggers
• Setting boundaries without letting others dictate your emotional state

Listen to this episode to learn how to stop giving others the remote control to your emotional state and start responding rather than reacting.
