One on one

[MMMMatilde]

I was told at work the other day that I get emotional when I'm passionate about something. I already knew this but I am not really sure how to control it. If we have a meeting and something comes up that I disagree or agree with I'm sometimes a little bit exaggerated.

I've tried counting to 5 or 10 before I respond but that doesn't really help, and taking a deep breath works me yo even more haha.

Do you have any tips for a crazy person? I have Italian and Jewish blood so I have a bit of an unfair advantage.

Well at least you are not afraid to speak up...sure beats being emotional later as you didn't speak up at a meeting.
As long as you arent taking the direction of the meeting away from the person holding the meeting I wouldn't worry about.
The speaker may be intending to change direction and your being vocal on an issue may prevent such from happening...but as long as that is not occurring then I wouldnt worry about it.
And remember they write the checks..so they can be right even if they are wrong lol.

never shy from passionate opinion

more people need to be passionate about stuff

just use your energy positively but never ever deny your voice

I have been told the same thing.
But people seem to like it.

Good old fashioned bar fight?

I too really have no idea of controlling that. I guess the remedies mentioned can help
