Emotional Preparation

A key part of mental preparation is focusing on what has already taken place. 

Emotional preparation is the amount of time you spend looking inward and preparing for when things go off script.  It is asking oneself “What if i face something unexpected?  How will that make me feel?”  According to the US Library of Medicine, an affiliate of the National Institute of Health, your brain processes logic 50% slower than it does emotional triggers.  From a CEO’s perspective, emotional preparation is important.  Leaders cannot afford to be impulsive – they must be focused, attuned, and ready.
