The Antidote to Anger

The Better Leadership Team Show

On this Mike on the Mic Episode, things are going to get a little different. If you've been following the previous episodes, you know I've talked extensively about the importance of believing in the positive intent of others. I've even coined it "The Law of Positive Intent." We discussed this concept in episodes like "Mastering Your Focus" and "Having Difficult Conversations." But Rather than just hearing me talk about it, I'm going to share a TEDx talk that I did on the same subject.

Back in January 2023, I had the honor of being on the stage at TEDx Gainesville, where I delivered a talk called "The Antidote to Anger." In this talk, I delve deeper into the Law of Positive Intent and how it can help us navigate anger and conflict in our daily lives.

Anger is something we all experience, and if we handle it poorly, it can damage our relationships, both personal and professional. That's why I want to share this talk with you. I want you to pay close attention to a specific question that I pose towards the end. It might just be the key to transforming how you approach anger in your own life.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this thought-provoking TEDx talk on The Antidote to Anger. I hope it resonates with you and provides you with valuable insights on how to harness the power of positive intent.
