Mark chats with executive coach and author Karen Thrall to explore the power of anger, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness in the workplace and beyond. Karen shares her personal journey from footwear executive to leadership consultant, and the hard lessons that led to her new co-authored book with Dr. Joe Shrand, Don't Lose Your Sh*t at Work! Together, they unpack the stages of anger, how emotional expression is often stifled from childhood, and the value of being heard in conflict situations. The conversation also highlights the groundbreaking AI tool Joze.ai, designed to make conflict resolution more accessible, empathetic, and scalable. Karen reflects on how self-awareness and negotiation can transform conflict into growth, and how technology might just help us get there!
