If the average person encounters someone “emotional,” whether it be their boss, co-worker, or mate, their stress level often runs high, their heart rate increases. Not me. Almost always, when I encounter highly “emotional” people or situations, I feel grounded and optimistic.

Why don’t I respond as others typically do?

I know the emotions – when addressed effectively- can be the pathway to everything you want.

Unfortunately, if you don’t work with your emotions, but rather against them, they can be the opposite- a saboteur with the power to destroy the very things you love most.

I experienced this intimately and intensely during a long divorce, which created emotional chaos with not only my ex-husband, but my kids.

I remember realizing that if I wanted to have a strong relationship with my children for years to come, the kind I’d always dreamed about, I’d have to build skills around navigating difficult emotions and handling conflict. If I kept going on the same way I had been, I’d lose the people in my life that mattered most.

So I began a lifelong journey of mentorship and training to become a master of communication, especially in high-stakes, emotional situations. As soon as I began to see the profound results in my own life, my improved relationships, my renewed sense of productivity, I knew I had to share this work with others.

I do this through private 1-1 Coaching and by Speaking to organizations. Check out the links below to learn more.
