We are living in times of heightened emotion. Unlike any time in our lives, the next day is as unpredictable as ever before. Companies are closing, jobs have been lost, schools are still closed in most places, and families are still trying to figure out how to balance their new work/family/school/personal lives. Dr. Lola Gershfeld and I had a wonderful conversation about how to keep our emotions, and those of our loved ones and those over whom we have stewardship, under control and how to effectively communicate with one another. You will gain tremendous tools and insight as you listen to her advice and wisdom. Visit https://www.emcleaders.com/ to learn more!
