While our emotions have evolved to help us, there are times when our emotional responses no longer serve us for a variety of reasons. Unwanted emotional triggers can range from being a minor nuisance, to in some instances, leading us towards behavior we may later regret.
I like to say we are human beings, not human doings. Assistants are required to give and receive feedback.
Being able to stay 'above the line' in terms of our thinking and behaviour is a key part of being able to Assist With Impact.
Understanding the six triggers that can get in the way of us being able to engage with people in a healthy and productive way is an essential part of knowing yourself.
In this episode I share:
- six emotional triggers that can be at play in our relationships
- how awareness of these triggers can help us avoid an Amygdala Hijack (what happens when emotion takes over and our lizard brain fires up)
- why this self awareness is important
I hope you enjoy the episode.
