Everyone’s out here chasing charisma…
But no one’s talking about what actually earns you trust when the spotlight’s hot or the Zoom room goes silent:
Emotional control.
Yep.
Not the sexiest leadership skill, but hands down one of the most important—and most ignored.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why this quiet little superpower matters way more than that perfectly timed TED Talk hand gesture.
Here’s what we cover (with plenty of real talk + practical tips):
- What emotional control actually is—and what it isn’t
- What to do (and not do) when feedback feels like a personal attack
- How to stop spiraling when your team doesn’t get it the first time
- What happens when you panic on stage—and how to recover like a pro
- How emotionally mature speakers hold the room (even when people walk out 👀)
Because listen… composure is magnetic. It builds trust. It builds presence.
And it makes you the kind of speaker and leader people actually want to follow—not just clap for.
So whether you’re leading 1:1, managing a team, or standing center stage—this episode is your pep talk and your playbook.
