When you think of the epitome of the toughest guys in the world, you’d be hard pressed to find a more indestructible collection of men than the Navy SEALS…
The SEALS are widely believed to be the most elite special forces unit in the word, and for good reason.
When a class of 200 of our country’s strongest and physically gifted men are whittled down to just 10 SEALS (as was the case in our guest’s journey)…
…and when you have to endure 5 consecutive days of sleep deprivation while undergoing nonstop inhumane physical challenges designed to break you…
And yet you somehow still survive…you’ve earned your seat at the table as the world’s toughest men.
So it might surprise you to learn that our guest today, a Navy Seal, has built his entire leadership methodology on the back of the one thing most men have been taught is our ultimate Achilles Heel: emotions.
As you know, Bryan and I are huge proponents of men learning emotional fluency, which is:
- The ability to feel an emotion
- The ability to name that emotion
- The ability to be with that emotion (without reacting)
- The ability to express the emotion
- The ability to shift that emotion (if desired)
A leader who has mastered these key components of emotional fluency is levelheaded in crisis situations and trustworthy when the heat is on.
And our guest today, Errol Doebler, is here to teach you his 5 steps of how to master your emotions in leadership settings ranging from the combat field to the boardroom to your kitchen table.
