Thank you for all your feedback on the “12 weeks to accelerate your career” series, which ended last week.
Since many of you enjoyed the concept of a series, I will do it again.
For now, it's summer mode for the “Wednesday Weekly Energy.” During this period, I will be offering some shorter texts.
I'll start with one of my LinkedIn posts that got over 500K views.
I wish you all a lovely summer.
Let's start 👇

The hidden power that makes or breaks your career.
(And 7 proven ways to master it)
Most focus on skills and knowledge.
But there's something more powerful:
Your emotional thermostat.
↳ One emotional reaction can damage your reputation
↳ One heated moment can destroy a lot of work
↳ One angry email can ruin relationships
7 proven ways to master your emotions.
1. Seek First To Understand :
↳ Instead of reacting, ask clarifying questions.
↳ Shift your focus from you to them.
↳ "Tell me more?"
A book to take you further. “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. How it has transformed my life, and why it can change yours.
And the habit No. 5 to focus on this point: Seek First to Understand, Then To Be Understood
2. The 10-10-10 Rule
↳ Will this matter in 10 minutes?
↳ 10 months? 10 years?
↳ The big picture gives you greater clarity
3. The Email Hack
↳ Write angry and save it in your drafts
↳ Reread it tomorrow and reflect on your options.
↳ Organize a 15-minute exchange with the person to align.
4. The "Pause and Reflect" Journal:
↳ Take brief breaks to write down your feelings.
↳ Builds self-awareness and helps you identify patterns.
↳ "What are the other explanations or perspectives?"
I've written extensively about “journaling.” A habit I'm practicing for more than 10 years. This link on my blog will take you to dozens of resources to help you start and continue using journaling as a tool for reflection and career advancement.

5. Find The Learning
↳ Instead of focusing on the negative emotion,
↳ Look for the opportunity for growth in the situation.
↳ "What can I learn from this situation?"
6. Mental Rehearsal:
↳ Create ideal response scenarios
↳ Visualize yourself responding calmly and effectively.
↳ Intention: "Where can I practice this today?"
If you want to learn more about visualization, I recommend this book that I recently finished. It gives you lots of concrete techniques for using this tool to improve yourself every day.
Visualise: Think, Feel, Perform Like the Top 1%Book by Maya Raichoora
7. Forgive Yourself:
↳ Everyone slips up sometimes.
↳ If you react emotionally, forgive yourself.
↳ Learn from the experience and move forward.
True power isn't in speaking first.
It's in the pause between stimulus and response.
That's where your growth lives.
What's your technique for staying calm under pressure?
Thank you.
See you next Wednesday.
