Episode notes

Bruce Thompson is a former college english professor who taught milton and shakespeare for ten years. He had never seen such principles so effectively applied to life on the streets. The first son in his career as what he started to think of as a communication samurai. If you let other people's negative emotions cause you to react, you let those negative emotions control you. You learn how to navigate and re direct that energy towards a positive outcome.

When was the last time someone said or did something that triggered you? How did you feel – frustrated, angry, unsafe? What did you say? The chances are you reacted in one of two ways, either by shutting down, avoiding the conflict or by saying something defensive back because conflict begets conflict. In this episode, I share a story, things I am learning, and leave you with a specific action you can take right now to be able to respond rather than to react to the conflict in your most important relationships. You will be able to use your words to redirect the negative force of others towards a positive outcome.
