You Can be Great If You Really Want To

Everyone experiences anger. When we get upset the primary emotion we feel is anger, even if anger itself isn’t the result of an event that upsets us. Anger can be triggered by another emotion. In many cases, anger is a secondary response, in reaction to another emotion coming before it.

Realizing that anger is triggered by other emotions is the first step that individuals learn in anger management classes. We learn to identify their true feelings that are often hidden by anger, so that we can begin to learn how to effectively express our anger.

No matter how much anger you experience, it can be very helpful to take an anger management class. Contrary to the popular belief that anger management classes are only for individuals who get sent by the court, they are actually for all kinds of people. Attendees can include employees of large corporations, managers, law offices, school personal, families and volunteers. Anger management classes can help teach you skills you wouldn’t be able to learn anywhere else. These classes teach you how to communicate better and how you can clearly express your needs.

Assertiveness is one of the most common skills taught in anger management classes. By learning this, people acquire the ability to express their moods, needs and feelings in appropriate ways, rather than succumbing to anger to taking control. A part of using assertive language means doing so in a reasonable way with good eye contact. If people don’t learn proper assertiveness then they will usually resort to aggressive or passive-aggressive behavior.

Another skill you learn in anger management classes is how to reduce the amount of stress in your life. By reducing the stress in your life you will notice an overall increase in your health. Too much stress for too long of a time period can lead to damaging effects on our bodies and a decreased life expectancy. Anger management classes show you how you can notice your stress and manage it.

The final skill taught in anger management classes is to show more empathy. By learning this individuals can understand another persons feelings easier. This decreases your chances of becoming frustrated with others and increases your understanding of your own feelings. As a result of learning these skills you will be able to work better with others and build relationships that are strong and last longer.

Leadership development is a term that includes many personal self development skills and professional skills that get lumped into the term leadership development. Having been a leader all my life in many different venues I would have said that my leadership skills were good until I began working with my horses on a daily basis. Thus began my journey and my learning that leadership skills go deeper than surface skills and abilities. A little history on how I got into this work – with more than twenty years in corporate America in leadership, management, consulting, and training, I was looking for a new stress-reducing hobby. I found horses or they found me and I was hooked. So we began, my love for horses coupled with my entrepreneurial nature led me to quarter horse breeding and performance showing more than ten years ago. Working on a daily basis with mares that had babies by their sides and watching them grow from young horses into adulthood I began to learn my leadership skills in a whole new way. Although I had many years of leadership experience and classroom education, the lessons from my interactions with my horses were coming faster and deeper than they ever had from the classroom. I found that I couldn’t get by with just saying the words of leadership without having my inside self and my outside self in alignment. My horses showed their confusion and inability to move forward on my commands. Now the people that I managed were just as confused but people have been taught for years to put on a polite face and cover up what they are feeling inside. So instead of showing confusion they would go away and feel frustrated and unhappy. I am sure though they hid this from me. They may even have complained to their peers about not knowing what I wanted. Do you think the people you lead might be feeling some of these same emotions? Just because the people we lead or manage do not show us these feelings doesn’t mean they aren’t feeling them. Horses on the other hand don’t have the polite filters in place so they show us exactly how they are feeling. They show us in an instant whether or not we are giving commands that are clear and understandable. They don’t need to hide what they are feeling to make sure they are staying on our good side. Frankly they don’t care. Leadership took on a new meaning for me. With their ability to see through any incongruent behavior on my part my horses insisted that I learn my leadership abilities better and in a new deeper way if I wanted to accomplish my goals with them. As an instructor in leadership development, executive and personal coaching, I began to see the possibilities for helping others grow and learn in this new, faster way: this new way of learning that sticks. I began holding workshops and coaching sessions to teach others these new lessons using my horses as a medium for learning. The results of this learn-by-doing method, using simple exercises shared with a highly responsive, beautiful horse, is exceptional and lasting. Leadership development skills learned with a horse as your partner are skills that immediately become an integral part of you and with this method you really become a leader.
