#42 This Is Why You're Exhausted: The truth about holding in anger with executive coach and author, Karen Thrall

If you've ever clenched your jaw in a meeting, said "sounds good!" while screaming inside, and then come home only to bite your spouse's head off, this episode is for you. Karen Thrall, executive coach and author of Lose Your Sht At Work*, has spent her career coaching leaders through their tempers, their silence, and everything in between. She joins Danielle for a conversation that gets personal fast (Danielle confesses, Karen confesses, you'll probably confess to yourself by the end). You'll learn why your anger is almost never about the thing in front of you, how to find your "first one," the difference between placating and enabling (and why both cost you confidence), and Karen's idea that every leader needs to steal: forget the recognition program, write your people fan mail. This is the rare conversation that makes you feel more capable by the end. Don't skip it.
