Sheila is angry.  She is a Real Estate Agent and one of my coaching clients.  She has a legitimate reason to be angry.  Another Agent was dishonest with her.  Sheila was in the office after a listing presentation where the owner did not yet list but strongly indicated they were going to.  She was excited about the possible new listing and told another Agent about it.  When she called the owner back to check in the next day, she found out that another Agent in her office that overheard the conversation called the owner with a story about having a Buyer and went after the listing. 
Sheila is not normally angry.  She prides herself on being nice.  I told her that I was very happy that she was angry.  Negative emotions can be bad for our health and psyche but they can sometimes be good.
It is like a pearl being formed in the belly of the oyster.  The anger is that little piece of sand that irritates and causes a layer of iridescence to form.  With each agitation another layer is added until there is a beautiful natural and valuable pearl.
For Sheila, that anger is causing her to focus, to work harder, sharpen her skills, be smarter about what she does, what she says, how she says it and who she talks to.  By the time our coaching call was complete Sheila’s anger had formed into a plan that will drive her to greater success.
Emotions can be productive or destructive.  This is a market where your emotions can be more on edge.  Do your emotions drive you or distract you?  Can you use your emotional responses to drive you to your next level of success?
