Mastering Emotional Control: The Key to Winning Conversations There is incredible power in choosing not to respond emotionally. When you pause before reacting, you take control and approach situations with clarity and maturity. Emotional reactions often escalate tension, while calm, thoughtful responses pave the way for understanding and resolution. This approach is essential for navigating Winning Necessary Conversations—it’s not about avoiding conflict, but about embracing it with Respect, Empathy, and Maturity. Here are three practical strategies to implement before responding to something that frustrates you: 1. Pause and Breathe: Take a deep breath and count to ten. This simple practice helps calm your emotions and prevents impulsive reactions. 2. Reflect on the Bigger Picture: Ask yourself, “Will this issue matter in a day, week, or year?” Shifting your perspective allows you to save your energy for what truly matters. 3. Seek Clarity Before Reacting: Don’t jump to conclusions. Instead, ask questions to fully understand the other person’s viewpoint. This shifts your focus from defensiveness to curiosity. Strength lies in calmness. Choose to approach difficult conversations with respect, empathy, and maturity for better results and deeper connections.

Freedom Friday: Managers and leaders, picture this: you're holding a cup of coffee, and someone bumps into you, causing the coffee to spill everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? Most would quickly say, "Because someone bumped into me!"—but that’s not the true reason. You spilled coffee because that’s what was in your cup. If it had been tea, you would’ve spilled tea. The contents of the cup are what matter. The same applies to leadership. When challenges or disruptions hit (and they *will*), whatever is inside you as a leader will spill out. It’s easy to maintain composure in calm moments, but under pressure, your true contents are revealed. So ask yourself, "What’s in my cup?" When your team faces stress or high stakes, what spills over from you? Is it calm, resilience, empathy, and strategic thinking? Or is it frustration, impatience, anger, or blame? As a leader, take responsibility for what you carry. Fill your cup with qualities that inspire and elevate you and your team—gratitude, empathy, resilience, and a positive outlook. The way you respond directly influences your team’s morale and the culture you create. Life and leadership will inevitably shake you. The real question is: are you intentional about what’s in your cup before it spills over? ???????? Remember: "If you're doing leadership alone, you're doing it wrong."

Hey Great People, I’m not going to attempt to express everything I feel, but I will say this: I am incredibly grateful to be doing this purposeful work. When I first said yes to starting my training and development/speaking business, I had no idea of the level of impact it could achieve. What I did know was that my vision wasn’t limited to local impact—I aimed to make a global difference. This past week, that vision took my wife Terah and me to the stunning island of Guam, where we had the honor of serving as keynote speakers at the SHRM Guam Chapter THRIVE Conference. The entire experience was truly next-level. A huge thank you to Vince Camacho and the SHRM Guam board for making us feel like part of the Guam family. A few highlights that made this conference unforgettable: ?Location: Guam’s beauty is unmatched. ?Personal Touches: Upon arriving at our hotel, we were greeted with a heart-shaped swan display and a Happy Anniversary card on our bed—a thoughtful detail from our initial conversation that made us feel truly special. ?Memorable Moments: After Terah finished her presentation, we were both invited on stage, where the entire room sang Happy Anniversary to us. It was a deeply touching experience. ?We connected with a ton of wonderful HR Game Changers I’ve included a few pictures from the event, along with a link to a recap video I created, capturing just a glimpse of the memorable time we had in Guam. P.S. Check out the feedback I received after my talk—I think it’s safe to say we delivered great impact! If you’re looking for one or two Game Changer keynote speakers for your conference, All Hands meetings, or leadership retreat, DM me.

Hey Great People, have you ever felt like you’re standing in your own way? You’re not alone. I remember when I was writing my first book, Parenting Like a Boss. I kept telling myself, "Kenston, what are you doing trying to write a book? You’re not even a writer." That doubt led me to put the project on hold for months—eventually stretching into a couple of years. ????♂? You see self-sabotage can be a major roadblock to achieving your goals and impact, but the good news is, you can break the cycle. Here are a few quick strategies I used to overcome it: 1. Challenge Negative Beliefs Recognize and confront the negative self-talk holding you back. Replace doubts with positive affirmations and remind yourself of past successes. 2. Set Realistic Goals Avoid overwhelm by breaking big goals into smaller, manageable steps. Celebrate each milestone to stay motivated and build confidence. 3. Practice Self-Compassion Be kind to yourself. Treat mistakes as learning opportunities, not failures. Self-compassion helps create a positive mindset that keeps you on track.
