Cut the Bullshit with Dr. J.J. Kelly

45m · Leading Through Crisis with Céline Williams · 05 Oct 10:00

In this episode, licensed clinical psychologist, emotional intelligence skills training expert, and bestselling author of The Holy Shit Series, Dr. J.J. Kelly (aka The Punk Rock Doc), talks to us about how to process anger, release emotions, and cut the bullshit to increase our emotional intelligence.

Join us as we get into:
- The misunderstanding and avoidance of anger in our society
- Why anger is necessary and how to manage it well
- Dismantling systems that don't serve us
- The best time to go into conflict
- A simple formula for assertiveness
and so much more

Conversations with J.J. tend to leave a lasting impression and this one certainly does that -- it's the butt-kicking we didn't know we all needed!

Here's why it's particularly important for leaders:
"To be exposed to someone who doesn't crumble in the face of rage or anger is such a comforting redirect for people. They learn not everybody's gonna die if you're mad at them." Then, you can model for them how to act right and build their own emotional intelligence.

Listen in and see what this episode triggers for you.

- Finding your North Star
