Know the difference between what you feel and what you make it mean

A free guide to Pillar 2 of the Exceptional Leader Framework, Drivers and Defaults, using the feelings wheel to catch your pattern before it costs you.

Every leader has a default under pressure. Spill it, bury it, or actually process it.

The first two keep costing you time, trust and energy you don't get back. The third is what emotional intelligence looks like in practice, not theory, and it starts with knowing the difference between an emotion and a feeling.

This guide gives you the feelings wheel, the four step practice for leading from adult, and a straight look at which default is yours.

What's inside

The real difference between an emotion and a feeling, and why the gap between them is where most leaders lose control of a room.

Where Child, Parent and Adult show up in Drivers and Defaults, and what each one costs you when you don't catch it.

The four step practice, name it, own it, feel into it, let it be, for processing what's running underneath you instead of reacting to it or burying it.

Christopher Cobb's feelings wheel, used with his permission, so you've got the words for what you're actually feeling instead of the word that sounds most reasonable.
