131: How to Control Your Emotions and Take the Next Step, with Bonni Stachowiak

Bonni Stachowiak: Teaching in Higher Ed

Bonni is the host of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast, Dean of Teaching and Learning and Professor of Business and Management at Vanguard University, and my life partner.

First question from Khrist and a few suggestions from us:

Recognize your hot buttons or trigger point
Avoid handling things in the midst of anger and emotion, if you can avoid them (for example, don’t send emails when angry)
Instead, write out your thoughts just for yourself
Get input from others who are not as close to the situation
Start with questions and not accusations/assumptions
Sometimes a bit of expressed anger or frustration is OK, assuming it is genuine
Consider what you are really able to do or not do
Give yourself grace too – none of us are perfect at handling these situations
In fact, we discover the most from imperfect situations

Second question from Huzefa and a few suggestions from us:

What is it you want about being an entrepreneur and could you achieve it without the risk?
Three elements you’d need to be successful:
- Skill in the field
- Passion for the work
- Market of customers who will pay what you are worth
Could you do a test-run or two on a small client project that would prove your model and lessen risk?
