Description: Hey guys, Lisa here! If you didn’t already know, I am super frikin excited to share that I’m writing a book! To be the FIRST to get sneak peeks about my book and other exclusive content go to: lisabilyeu.com and be sure to sign up for my newsletter. How many times have you blown up at your family, lost your cool at work, or barely kept your face straight at dinner with your in-laws when someone rubbed you the wrong way? It's very likely you’ve been guilty of this once or twice in your life (or this week). Lisa is answering questions and sharing with you all the tips that have helped get her through rough times when emotions are high and the wrong reaction, or a reaction you’re going to regret, is milliseconds away. A couple things Lisa really emphasizes that will help you, is looking back on your situations and thinking through the things that are emotional triggers and not shaming yourself for the reactions you’ve had in the past. Lisa is breaking it all down so you know the steps you can take and have options that will help you take control of your emotions and master your responses whether you’re with friends, family or in a boardroom meeting.
