I woke up fired up, ready to go into meetings, and all I could think about was punishing someone with my words. I wanted to tear into them. Instead, I hit record.
Today I’m sharing a raw moment about emotional management, not the theory, but the practice. How do you stop yourself from reacting when every part of you wants to fire back?
I walk through a real story that happened right here in my Costa Rica community: local drama, online trolls, HOA politics, and the inner war between staying calm or going full attack mode.
This is for anyone who’s ever typed out a message… and had to force themselves not to send it.
🔹 How to pause before you react
🔹 Dealing with toxic people and rumors
🔹 The difference between emotional intelligence vs. management
🔹 Why staying silent is sometimes the strongest move
🔹 Real leadership lessons from everyday life
Thanks for listening, and remember: k*ll them with kindness. Charm them to d*ath.
