Leadership Coaching Blog

We talk about managing emotional intensity in high-stakes situations. My guest shares why connection and empathy are the superpowers of elite negotiators, and how we can translate those same skills to our workplace and personal relationships.

We talk about how to build your self-empathy muscles in easy moments first so that you have the skills available to you when the stakes rise. We also explore why high achievers take the blame when things go wrong yet wave away credit when things go well, how empathy and judgment cannot coexist, and a simple practice to interrupt reactivity so you can lead with more clarity at work and at home.

We talk about what the U.S. military can teach us about the importance of trust and empathy to human-centered leadership.
