Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the emotion you’ve been taught to control, hide, or get rid of could actually become one of your greatest leadership advantages? In this episode, I share why anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in leadership and why so many high-achieving women struggle to stay present with it, whether it’s their own anger or someone else’s. This is crucial to your career because as your leadership grows, your ability to hold difficult emotions without immediately reacting, fixing, or shrinking back becomes a key part of your emotional capacity. Tune in this week to learn why avoiding anger can limit your leadership, how your relationship with other people’s emotions impacts your ability to lead, and how building emotional capacity allows you to stay connected to yourself while navigating high-stakes moments.
