Description

Leaders don’t lose because of bad leads or weak talent—they lose because of triggers. Those hidden emotional trip wires that hijack trust, culture, and momentum before you even realize it.

In this episode, Chris Hunsicker exposes the Trigger Process and shows you how to dismantle it before it destroys your influence.

Here’s what you’ll discover inside:

• The 4-step Trigger Pattern: Spark → Story → Blame → Armor
• Why triggers are predictable—and how elite leaders use them as mirrors
• The truth about why your team isn’t responsible for your triggers (you are)
• How one simple exercise—naming your top 3 triggers—becomes the first step to breaking the cycle

Insight to Action: Write down 3 things that trigger you—lateness, sloppy work, that one salesperson’s attitude—and don’t try to fix them yet. Just name them. Awareness is the first step to control. Love the show? like, rate, review and share
