ENROL TODAY: http://courses.thehumanenterprise.com.au/ -------------------- In this episode, I dive into a question many leaders face: how to be more responsive and less reactive at work. A senior leader recently asked me: “In a recent performance review, I’ve been told I can be too reactive at times and that my emotional control, if not addressed, could be a ‘derailer’ for me and impact my promotion opportunities. Any quick tips?” Here are some practical tools to help you shift from reacting impulsively to responding thoughtfully—an essential skill for peace of mind and leadership success. I explain the power of "rephrasing" emotions to create healthy emotional distance. Then I introduce our R.A.R.E. Framework for emotional control along with a breathing technique I've been using for years. Your reputation as someone who responds rather than reacts will boost your promotion prospects and bring more presence and joy to your everyday leadership.
