<p>In this solo episode, I describe a situation where I witnessed someone who became emotional and took it out on me.</p>
<p>Thankfully, I recognized that she was simply unable to think rationally in the moment, and I didn’t take it personally.</p>
<p>I’m the co-founder and president of Grow Strong Leaders. We’ve created online resources that help leaders strengthen their character and communication skills to build strong relationships and inspire others to perform at the highest level.</p></div>
