In this episode of The Mind Takeaway Podcast, we explore the crucial topic of emotional regulation and its profound impact on individual and team dynamics. Our conversation is rooted in insights from a recent workshop on emotional regulation.

We explore how our ability to regulate our emotions shapes our behaviours and influences our interactions as leaders, coaches, and team members. Drawing from personal experiences, we discuss common pitfalls in emotional regulation, such as retreating inward or reacting outwardly, and how these responses can hinder effective communication, connection, and team performance.
