1Leader whose emotional reactions in meetings are visible before she can manage them
Context
A director of finance has received consistent feedback across two performance cycles that her emotional reactions in difficult meetings are visible and sometimes derail productive conversations — her face changes, her tone sharpens, she goes quiet in ways the room can read as displeasure. She is aware of this. She has tried counting to ten and breathing through it, without lasting effect. She says she doesn't know what triggers it specifically, only that it happens.
