For better or worse, an entrepreneur's journey is fraught with stress, frustration, and anxiety, and these emotions can be triggered in a heartbeat. But like the trigger of a gun, we have a choice about whether or not to activate it. By broadening the space between the trigger and our response, we can give ourselves extra time to make healthier choices that don't lead to regrettable actions. In self-development, triggers can be treasures. Recognise them and use them for your continued emotional growth.

When we hear someone, we pick up on vocal cues and use a suitable tone, volume, pitch, and pace to respond. And when we understand someone, we pay close attention to the words they're saying and do our best to comprehend them. We all want to feel seen, heard, and understood. Effective communication is about learning how to put this into practice with those around us.
