Emotional mastery for leaders
Manage episode 479672018 series 2969990
This is a conversation between Jessica Lyonford, author of the Happy Leader Playbook, and Dr Manoj Krishna, founder of HappierMe.
In this episode, they unpack one of the most overlooked leadership levers of our time: your emotional mind. This isn’t just about mindfulness. This is about learning to lead without the emotional chaos that’s costing you energy, connection and clarity.
We get into:
🔥 Why stress isn’t the enemy—but your reaction to it might be
🧠 How unconscious emotional patterns sabotage your decisions (and how to break them)
🚨 The 3-word question that can immediately shift your leadership presence
💥 What happens when high-performers stop outsourcing peace and start mastering it
📲 How the HappierMe app gives you daily reps to strengthen your emotional leadership muscle
I believe emotional mastery is no longer optional—it’s a non-negotiable skillset for anyone building meaningful impact. And if you’re not leading yourself clearly, you’ll keep bleeding time, energy and influence in ways you can’t afford.
Your Power Move TodayNotice your next emotional trigger—and pause. Don’t explain it away. Don’t numb it. Just ask: “What’s really happening in me right now?” That pause? That’s leadership in action.
