Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode
“ As we know, leadership roles are filled with pressure, tight deadlines, unexpected challenges, high stakes decisions, and how you manage your emotions in those moments directly affects your team, your credibility, and your ability to fulfill your responsibilities as a leader.”
“Emotional regulation is not only a skill you need as a leader, but it’s a skill you need as a human […] Learning how to stay grounded and manage our emotions is a critical skill that we all need to master.”
“ This simple act [of pausing] gives you time to choose a more thoughtful response, because now you’ve created a space, and in that space is your ability to choose how you want to react rather than just emote.”
“Remember, leadership isn’t about avoiding pressure, it’s about rising above it.”
