 🎧  EP-10 Triggers that Impact our Conversations
 
 What triggers us? And, how 'response-able' are we when we get triggered? A trigger is a stimulus to which we react. It may originate in the external environment – in the things people say and do, the situations that arise, or the circumstances we find ourselves in. Also, a trigger can arise internally with a limiting belief or a false assumption. What triggers make us do, is to lose control. They get the better of us. In this podcast we explore common triggers – what they are and where they come from. We delve, too, into the neurochemistry that underlies the triggering of fear and the shift to trust. We discuss what leaders can do to ‘catch’ the trigger, in the moment, before it takes control. They can choose, instead of reacting, to become ‘response-able’. To select their words more carefully and their non-verbal more mindfully. As they do, they empower themselves to shift out of their undesirable, fear-triggered behaviors and regain a mindset of trust and calm. Their conversation shifts as well to one that encourages others to open up, to share and to partner. As with all behavior changes, it’s easier said than done. The fact, though, is that it’s possible! We know what our behavioral goals are. We know, too, the triggers that tend to thwart our best efforts. Determine to take control – start with one and build from there. Response-ability is your choice! Don’t let your triggers outsmart you!
