About this episode

In this episode, I discuss leadership. Specifically, emotional regulation, qualities that define great leaders, how anxiety can shape leadership, and why influencing the emotional climate of the people around us matters more than we often realize. I also highlight the concept of differentiation and explore how systems theory and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can help us regulate emotions, respond thoughtfully under pressure, and make healthier, more intentional decisions.
