Feeling all the feels? 😫😡😞 Here’s how to deal with them like a pro!
Have you had one of those days? Meeting was cancelled last minute, emails kept coming, spilled the coffee - all before 9.30am? I had, not that long ago, and felt a mix of frustration, embarrassment, and stress. In the past, I might’ve soldiered on without checking in on what was going on internally. But now, I know better. I paused, acknowledged what I was feeling, and reached for a tool I keep close by: my ‘Wheel of Emotions’. Within minutes, I felt back in control. And that, my friend, is the power of emotional intelligence.
“Effective leaders are alike in one crucial way: they all have a high degree of emotional intelligence.” Daniel Goleman
In this Leadership Talk, I’m sharing a powerful article on how to take charge of your emotional and mental fitness, an emotional literacy freebie, upcoming professional development opportunities (free for AEN members!), a quick win strategy to reset emotionally in the moment, and (on a lighter note) a birthday moment behind the scenes!
📘On this topic: LEADERSHIP ARTICLE
In a world of constant pressure and change, your ability to understand and regulate your emotions isn’t a luxury - it’s a leadership superpower. In this article, I explore how leaders can take control of their inner world, boost emotional fitness, and build resilience that lasts.
From recognising emotional triggers to reframing thoughts, this article gives practical strategies to strengthen your EI muscles.
Ever find yourself struggling to name what you’re feeling? You’re not alone. That’s why I love using the ‘Wheel of Emotions’. It’s a visual tool that helps you pinpoint exactly what’s going on internally. Increased emotional literacy means better self-awareness, communication, and leadership.
“Awareness of our emotions empowers us to choose our response, not just react.”

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions (motion, speech, self-awareness) shut down one by one. An astonishing story.
📖On this topic: BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Following her famous TED talk closing remarks of “We have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world”, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor wrote the book ‘Whole Brain Living’. This gem discovers how to tap into the present moment, shift out of anxiety and gain a sense of deep inner peace by understanding the brain’s two hemispheres. Eye-opening and practical.
