His reflections reveal how every interaction has the potential to elevate or deflate, and why managing emotions in those critical seconds can change everything.Listeners will discover practical tools like the Leadership Two-Step, the Emotional Audit, and the newly coined Empathy Audit, designed to be used in under 15 seconds to bring awareness, emotional clarity, and intention into real-time conversations. From meditation practices to laughter yoga and polyvagal techniques, this episode explores how to regulate ourselves so we can show up at our best—especially when the stakes are high.Dr. Nadler also shares a vivid acronym (V.I.V.I.D.) for understanding what people actually want from us in the moment—validation vs. direction—and how that distinction can transform relationships at work and at home.“If you stay on autopilot, you stay average. Mastering the moment is what makes leaders extraordinary.” — Dr. Relly NadlerWhether you're a coach, a leader, or simply someone who wants to respond rather than react, this episode is filled with actionable insights that will help you lead and live with greater awareness, balance, and brilliance.Check out his websiteFind him on LinkedInTake a listen to his podcast Season 5Host: Lyssa deHart, LICSW, MCC, BCCLet's Connect on LinkedInWebsite Lyssa deHartProducer: Michele LoganVideo Editor: Sebastian CrespoSocial Media: Lizana GuillenMusic: Frolic by Harrison AmerSubscribe, Rate, & Follow on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
