Influence is a dance of subtlety, and emotional control is your partner. When opponents aim to trigger your emotions, resisting the urge to react impulsively is the secret weapon.
The ability to pause, analyse, and then choose your response is where influence blossoms.
Emotional control is not about suppressing feelings, but about using them to craft strategic actions.
By mastering this art, you harness emotions as tools, transforming reactive moments into calculated moves that steer the tides of influence.
