The tension in the room is palpable. Your CEO's face flushes red, his voice sharp as he demands answers about a failed project. Before you realize it, your chest tightens and you're carrying his anger as if it's your responsibility.

This invisible pattern of emotional absorption is destroying your leadership capacity. When you unconsciously take responsibility for other people's moods, reactions, and bad decisions, you end up managing the room instead of the results. You replay meetings in your head at night, overexplain yourself to calm others down, and shrink your presence when emotions run high. The real cost? You stop thinking like the visionary you are and slip into survival mode.

Join me today to learn how to develop what I call "No One F's with Me Energy" - a powerful approach to maintaining your emotional boundaries while staying empathetic and effective. I share how to protect your mental space without shutting down your empathy, 3 key shifts to stay grounded when tensions are high, and why emotional boundaries actually make you a stronger leader.
