Leadership Tip: Your Emotions Aren’t the Boss of You

Published 24 days ago • 1 min read

Hey there, Reader,

​

​

Some conversations just push all our buttons.

​

You know the ones.
​

Your heart races. Your jaw tightens. Your brain starts writing a dramatic novel about what they meant when they said that.

​

But here's the good news:
🔹 Emotions don’t have to control you.​
​

They’re data—not directives.

​

In challenging moments, it’s totally normal to feel frustrated, anxious, or even a little defensive. (You're human. Welcome to the club.)

​
The key is learning how to respond with intention instead of reacting out of instinct.

​

Here’s how to stay in the driver’s seat:

​

✅ Pause before reacting. Deep breath = mental reset.
​

✅ Focus on the facts. Feelings matter, but facts keep you grounded.
​

✅ Watch your tone and body language. They’ll often do more talking than your words.
​

✅ Reframe the moment. Ask: Is this really worth my energy?

​

🌟 Managing emotions isn’t about stuffing them down. It’s about stewarding them with wisdom.

​

And yes—you can absolutely get better at this with practice (and a little help from a coach who’s been there 😏).

​

Let me know if you use the tips above and how it went.

​

You’ve got this—and I’ve got your back.
