People and Projects Podcast’s Post

Sister Elizabeth Kenny was a self-trained nurse who made major contributions to the treatment of polio and provided care during World War I. She made this observation about anger: "He who angers you, conquers you." It reminds me of the observation by Dr. Mark Goulston: "An attack is an opportunity... for poise! Stripping you of your poise is their best weapon." Something is going to happen this week that will have the opportunity to set you off. Strip you of your poise. Remember the wise words of Sister Elizabeth Kenny. What are some examples you've seen of where the observations from Kenny and Goulston were shown to be true? (My 15-year-old daughter says Star Wars is full of examples of this!) How do you try to keep your poise when you feel angry or attacked? Leave a comment below. Have a great week! Dr. Mark Goulston joined me to discuss his book Talking To Crazy. Queue up episode 143 this week for some helpful insights! #projectmanagement #hapmo #management #leadership #pmo #conflict #poise #confidence
