Do you hate how things work around you? Do you find yourself exclaiming “I hate using Jira!”, "I hate doing a Daily Standup!", or “I hate being micromanaged!”? Does it feel like these emotions seem to follow you throughout your career? There’s lots of leadership advice out there about following your passion. They say "Do what you love and people will follow!". For me, and many others, this didn’t seem realistic or achievable - I just didn’t know what I was passionate about. Having stumbled through various roles, I finally found my passion as a leader by looking deeper into the things I hated. Are you curious about how this negative, oft-avoided emotion can be used to drive you to be a more impactful leader? Come join me as I take you through a journey into the science of emotions, needs and goals to help you find your passion and use it to make you a leader that others want to follow.

If we understand that emotions are constructed, it
gives us the power to know we can change our
response to them.
