Description

Most leaders see triggers as problems. Elite leaders see them as tools. Every frustration, flare-up, or emotional spike isn’t a weakness—it’s a signal pointing to the exact muscle you need to grow: patience, clarity, resilience, or self-control. Master your triggers, and you don’t just stay calm under pressure—you build trust under fire.

In this episode, Chris Hunsicker ties the full trigger process together and shows how to transform emotional tripwires into leadership weapons.

Inside you’ll learn:

• Why your team’s job isn’t to solve your triggers—but to show them to you
• The Trigger Process:
• Own it → stop outsourcing emotions
• Flip the story → replace negative narratives with constructive ones
• Forgive fast → reset momentum, protect trust, keep execution sharp
• How mastering triggers increases trust, retention, speed, and profit
• The Trigger Journal → a 7-day practice to track patterns, measure growth, and convert data into ROI

Insight to Action: For the next 7 days, start a trigger journal. Every time you get triggered, jot it down. Then ask: Did I own it? Did I flip the story? Did I forgive fast? One consistent shift can build unstoppable trust and execution. Love the show? like, rate, review and share
