The Evolution of Adulting #2020

Adults can have a really difficult time conveying what they mean, listening to others during stressful circumstances and feeling unstuck. Empathy may be a lost art form, and confidence could be going quickly down the drain, especially when there is tension in a relationship.
Eminem said it best, “My palms are sweaty”…. You bet they are. Plus, on top of that you’re uncomfortable, angry, defensive, your heart is racing, you're filled with fear, scared of being put on the spot and you’re about to erupt like Mount Saint Helen. Sound familiar?
These are the typical emotional responses, or shall I say reactions when things don’t often align with the way we think or feel and our attitudes and relationships with others become a jumbled mess of emotional, reactive pitfalls otherwise known as missed opportunities to show up as our highest self.
If you’re having a hard time conveying what you mean, most likely you’re like every adult on the planet who hasn’t received personal or professional development skillsets in communication. This type of training is very important to our lives and careers because it helps us become more objective speakers and better listeners. If you want to be rich, ahem, we all do, I say get rich in emotional intelligence and take an active part in learning how your reactions can be detrimental to your life, but your approach can be changed in real time with understanding how to control yourself as a leader.
Entrepreneurs develop legacies with happier employees with kind communication at the helm and many companies hire and give promotions to executives who have higher emotional intelligence. Communication is crucial to our existence in the office space because it takes our behaviors and shines a big spotlight on them saying, “You’re responsible!”
Ah ha! That word, right! Responsibility is like the elephant in the room and you're staring right at it. You don’t want to be responsible. Heck, no. It’s far easier on you if you blame it on someone else, right? WRONG.
If you’re finding that many of your relationships or conversations get heated and go from 0-100 in seconds, or if you feel misunderstood countless times, you may be a ticking time bomb. You don't have to explode, you have to grow.
I have a process that is proven to teach and empower adults with the clear facts and preventative measures so that you remain calm, focussed and unbothered by your emotions, responding healthier and creating a legacy that is applauded by your superiors, employees, clients, peers and friends.
Approach is everything and we don’t always want to face it because it’s difficult. Try holding up a mirror at yourself after you’ve drank too much the night before or if you’re breaking out due to eating too much chocolate. No way right? Of course, not. The same rules apply for emotional intelligence and communication training. We often don't want to look at what isn't right, so we delay it and that process declines our progress.
I’m a proven-results business coach and I get to the heart of the matter while holding up a mirror to your actions and behaviors, but we do it in a fun way. Why wouldn't we? While other coaches may seem cookie cutter, I eat them. Chocolate chips preferred, please and thank you.
If you’re having a hard time reacting or responding, blaming yourself or others is a missed opportunity to grow as a responsible adult. I can take you to a higher level if you let me.
