The Inner Mentor (8): Don't Hit Send - Why Decisions Made in Anger Create Chaos #187

We've all been there — the email that makes your blood boil, the message you want to fire back instantly, the moment anger threatens to make your decisions for you.

In this episode of the Inner Mentor Series, Paul shares a powerful personal story from a high-stakes multimillion euro deal, where one furious Saturday morning email nearly derailed everything. Instead of reacting, he paused — and what happened next changed how he makes decisions to this day.

He walks through his simple four-step process for managing emotional responses in business, relationships, and life:

1. Awareness — recognise the state you're in
2. Pause — do nothing until you're calm
3. Reframe — look at the situation with fresh eyes
4. Respond — from a place of calm, not chaos

If you've ever said something you couldn't take back, lost a deal, or damaged a relationship because you reacted in anger — this one's for you.

"Decisions made in anger create chaos. Decisions made in calm create results."
