You combine kindness, psychology and business drive into this positive hands-on guide on how to become not only better at your job but to become a better human being. And I am really grateful that you are sharing this in such an accessible way with all of us.

That’s a great system! I love that for sharing concepts like this and interests

[@starklife2426]

I am not trying to be rude, I honestly just want to know…when the word “partner” is used, does that mean the person is gay? Why not say boyfriend, husband, wife, girlfriend? All my gay friends say partner, so I have automatically assumed, but I may be wrong.

Never let your emotions dictate your decisions. This is so powerful!

You're able to operate at such a high level. It takes a lot to be self aware that you're conditioned.

[@EbbieBailey]

This is so good. I cry about everything it’s ridiculous. I knew I felt misunderstood but I didn’t know how to convey that to my husband so the tears just flow. I’m going to work on communicating so that I’m understood

[@sungmanpak]

you are an incredible boss. most bosses are not as intelligent, insightful, and positive as you to help out the crew.

[@Passport2Pleasure]

Create a relationship structure (whether it's a romantic or business partnership) that supports you experiencing emotions but doesn't rely on them. This way you have a framework to rely on no matter what temporary emotional experience is occurring in the moment.

[@Valentin-ut6ry]

Yeah, it's very useful and you articulated the problem very good: "we lack the verbal communication skills so we replace that with emotion that we used in the past to get the same result". Thank for the education and great examples from your experience.

[@rindordrums]

Emotional manipulation. Afraid of emotional honesty. Reminds me of the book, "Why Am I Afraid To Tell You Who I Am?" The answer is... "Because who I really am is the last shred of my existence. If you don't like it, I cease to exist. Leila... you are a Treasure.

[@taniam.4554]

Wow!

[@Tohideh]

This is so true and not limited to romantic relationships and work relationships but also useful in parenting ! So many times that our children use tears as a tool, and we as parents use anger when we just want to be obeyed. Great advice, Leila ❤

[@justine313]

When I get overwhelmed I cry. It’s so embarrassing and I don’t want this to happen anymore. This was very insightful

[@ScienceSpiritHappy]

In Uni I was known for giving death stares to people who interrupt me! Just realized I act cranky & pissy with people who interrupt my flow when I have a lot of work to do so they leave me alone, lol. As soon as I’m left alone I’m 100% on it and so happy. I can change this! I don’t want to feel pissy when I’m actually super stoked and in the zone! I can definitely have a different response that feels better to me too!

[@edamami6927]

You just described me to the T. I have trouble communicating but instead turn into my emotions. I want to learn how to persuade with my words for the best 😢

[@danishadavis1614]

Adlerian psychology really touches on this and how we learned these mechanisms in our childhood and throughout life. It’s easy to default to normal behaviors.. but to grow emotionally and get people to accept what you’re saying. You have to appeal to them in a proactive and NOT reactive way. I get frustrated and instantly angry when I don’t get my way…it puts everyone on edge and now I’m learning how to effectively communicate in a baseline way that is direct, efficient and productive to the conversation! Yes ma’am. I agree 10000%. It’s still rough over here, but I can only improve with awareness!!

[@pleb2dev605]

This might be the best video ive watched in years Why is it resonating with me so powerfully

[@Madchris8828]

Wow this is a lot of psych information all wrapped into one. Amazing and makes so much sense. Thank you

[@user-fk5jk9cn1c]

This was a better video than I thought it would be and really enjoyed it. I was resisting it due to the title, but I am really glad I listened. Great perspective.

[@Naturevsnurturegirl]

I’m only a few minutes into the video; however, as someone who is consistently works on internal issues with emotional regulation I can say when I get emotional it’s simply because I am emotional. I generally could care less about whoever is around me-unless they are making life or my job harder than it needs to be, then I will say exactly what’s on my mind (usually no censor). As I’m aging I’m learning how to control those emotions and communicate more effectively. It’s just strange that someone who ‘studies psychology’ so much usually only talks about neurotypical corporate situations… not offended or anything of the sort, just making a statement and recognizing patterns. I do enjoy listening to this channel to learn the different (neurotypical) corporate mind games people play/manipulation tactics people use though

[@ystein6900]

This is deep. I see these patterns over and over again with the people I work with also! The unconscious patterns of bad communication. Thanks for artfully articulating this!

[@mindtheprivacy]

Excellent Excellent Excellent topic. Before leaders of employees we are people and since we all have unresolved issues. It's at your job were it reflects the most.... I've been at fault of this.

[@timothywilson3253]

It was and is useful , I've said it before and I'll say it again, this chick has obviously created herself to be very skilled in art of love and she helps others in the ways they love each other . 💪 . Great job . Helping process emotions and not suppress nor express too much is always the most valuable thing for anyone in my perspective

[@mal1078]

oh lord by 2:46 you described my relationship and exactly what happens to me in argument with my boyfriend/partner. we really plan to grow in life and take off together, but im struggling to regulate my emotions because of my own experiences and healing that needs to be done. this was so spot on in relating and helping me not feel so crazy, but instead take the step back on whats really going on here. connecting the dots, thank you!!! ❤

[@the.kleyko]

Extremely insightful. Made me think about a lot of experiences in my life where I can connect this too. As if emotions are only a mechanisms to get something from people. Even if one is completely unaware of it.

[@GG-ri2rx]

👏 yes 👏 Leila 👏 this is 🔥 content. Love it. Please keep the wisdom coming.

Thank you for making me more self aware! After watching this video I realized that is definitely something I have seen in myself and others. Looking forward to addressing this and improving myself!

[@wahab_basa]

The amount of value from this one video alone is insane. I don't even know how to put into words. Bcs funny things is am currently in a situation where I have developed a pretty big gap with someone close. At times when I couldn't, they would ask something from me. And instead of clearly communicating that I can't do something or give them what they are asking for. I would just cave in or get angry to resolve whatever they are in needed from me. And now that Leila pointed out that I might simply lack the skill in communication, I'll be immediately start making changes from today. Much appreciated Leila. Even though I don't have a business am still able to get alot of help from what you have to share.

[@derdoofenschmertz951]

This is true! I especially act like the third one cold and distant and lack basic communication skills. I don't even know how to work on them, and adjust or collaborate in teamwork. I get scared and refuse to work acting like a childlish wolf. This video made me realize the reflexive nature towards people and drastic impressions. I thoroughly enjoyed a lot. Hope to see a masterclass soon on body language and communication skills with teamwork and confidence. Thank you, Leila Hormozi 😊 From a 17 year old fan.

[@zacharydivincent6001]

You and Alex both are just phenomenal humans. Thank you for making content like this in a very non judgmental and easy to digest delivery. This is a watch multiple times type of video.

[@wge621]

this is great. the main differentiator I would point out is that you have to identify if this is a pattern, or a one off. there have definitely been times when I've cried at work, like maybe 3 or 4 times in my 9 year career. Once it was on my own, once it was because I was with the person who was actively causing it, and twice was when I was with a manager or friend whom I felt comfortable enough being that vulnerable around, and it really helped getting their support when I needed it. I don't think it was enabling behavior at all, but I can 100% see how it can be if this becomes a pattern rather than one off instances.

[@JG-di8oi]

Exactly I think it is important not to repress those emotions. If you need to cry and let it out when you feel you are in a safe space. But always try to communicate the best way you can.

[@christineberencz6410]

Fantastic video! Sounds like you found a way to get out of your default state and are helping others do the same. Emotions definetly are the path of least resistance compared to using words and communicating

[@skipperchen8354]

Thanks of articulating this. Had realized I myself have a pattern of giving what others want as a default reaction to their negative emotions. Actually one of my resolutions for the year is turning off this pattern. Always have to resist the urge and remind myself: I'm not responsible for the emotions of others.

[@SunRays996]

This!!! So much truth to that! Word!!!

[@anticonfidencegirl]

Thank you. This is just on time as I was wondering if I'd get rid of a friend that keeps defaulting to anger whenever you reproach her something, and that is at almost every conversation which is too much. In the end I always fold as she escalates. Like, why should i keep anger around me? But instead, thanks to this video, I can learn to regulate her. I believe now that relationships are not made to get rid of (unless toxic) but to learn new skills. Please, continue those behavioral topics.

[@beingintrinsic]

So I love almost everything Leila puts out there, I love her succinct handle on high pressure, high stakes situations. I understan she is speaking to conditionng that keeps people liited to reacting from their emotions and or to other emotions. Its indirect, can be passive aggressive. So to evolve out of that, in essence, observe your emotions to get to the bottom of the needs, communicate directly. You win respect ande healthier relationships. To another point, I hope that Alex can appreciate emotions and can be empathetic, not that Leila has to always respond to his way without integtrating the purpose of emotions. Logic can be leaned on too much to mask a lack of trust or empthy for others due to early childhood manipulation by caretaker. Also, not everyone who has amotions at work is manipulatve. It can be shock and surprise to discover the cultures is deeply unsafe and the immense toll of discovering the task at hand, the change that will come.

[@beingintrinsic]

I train this for high stakes relationships and design it for nuanced , authentic application at scale... deeply appreciative of Leila's massive conribution to this end

[@kkboczkowska]

amazing advice and insights, thank you Leila❤

[@lanav6785]

Wow this is such great information! I’m a very emotional person, but aware enough not to show it to the best of my ability in those moments. However, I struggle with overriding those emotions in the moment to actually verbalize and communicate effectively. I go quiet, aloof , and retreat within myself instead and don’t know how to change that. It’s hard to think through your emotions in the moment, but easy to reflect back on the situation to see where I went wrong. Constant struggle. I don’t want to be manipulating people with my emotions, but communicating is a skill I need to learn still.

[@julie15957]

00:05🤖 Emotions are often used strategically to influence behaviors, rather than being just reactions to situations. 02:18🛡 Responding to emotions like anxiety or stress with immediate assistance can inadvertently reinforce those behaviors. 05:37💼 Learning effective communication skills is crucial in reducing reliance on emotional displays to achieve desired outcomes. 07:00🧠 Emotions are not always reactions to others' actions; they are often strategically used to influence behaviors. 10:31🔧 Recognizing that emotions can precede actual actions allows addressing underlying issues in communication and skills. 13:04🌱 Inability to communicate effectively can lead to using emotions as a substitute, affecting both personal and professional relationships. 16:25📉 Constant negativity towards work may be an unconscious strategy to avoid additional responsibilities. 19:12👥 Constantly giving attention to negative emotions can reinforce unwanted behaviors instead of promoting effective communication.
