How to Get What You Want

Get What You Want Without Letting Emotions Derail You

Susie Tomenchok Episode 129

Ever walked out of a conversation thinking, “Why did I say that?” or regretted a decision made in the heat of the moment? You’re not alone. Emotions play a bigger role in decision-making than we often realize—and they can cloud our judgment, especially in high-stakes situations.

In this episode, I break down how emotions impact negotiations, tough conversations, and decision-making. You’ll learn how to recognize emotional triggers, regain clarity under pressure, and avoid costly mistakes that come from reacting too fast. Whether it’s dealing with a difficult colleague, handling a big career decision, or negotiating with confidence, these strategies will help you stay in control, think strategically, and get better outcomes.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  •  Why emotions hijack logical decision-making (and how to stop it).
  • The most common emotional triggers that cloud your judgment.
  • Five proven strategies to regain objectivity in high-stakes moments.
