Have you ever been so triggered that you lost your composure in a situation? In our latest episode of The Rising Leader, I delve into what happens when high achievers and leaders lose their calm and how they can navigate these turbulent moments. This episode explores the strategies I teach, grounded in emotional intelligence, to handle one's emotions when under pressure and maintain clarity and control.

In today's episode, I recount a personal story involving my eldest son, sharing how I managed my initial emotional reaction. I share my process of moving from fear to understanding and effective communication. This real-world application of the principles I teach provides insight into maintaining authenticity and taking responsibility for one's emotions.

“When you're losing your shit, you cannot be inauthentic. You can't completely fake it.”
