This might sound like a scary blog title asking if business coaching can take you from emotional victim to emotional champion. But emotions are a great guidepost to where you are now and how effective you are at getting where you want to be in business.
Not convinced? Stay tuned.
First, let’s define emotions:
A mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through conscious effort and is often accompanied by physiological changes; a feeling.
Until we become conscious and aware of both the feeling the emotion causes and the thought preceding it we have no chance of changing it or of choosing how we react to things. We are merely victims.
However, that definition, while widely accepted, is wrong. Emotions are not spontaneous. All emotions are preceded and triggered by a thought. The problem is, the process of the thought triggering the emotional response has been going on since childhood and is now so automatic that you don’t even notice the thought. Just the overwhelming emotion it triggers.
if you feel like you’ve been a victim of your emotions and it’s negatively affecting your business, we should talk. If you’d like to get control of those emotions so you run them and not the other way around, we should definitely talk.
