Shownotes

The "agreeable" people on your team might be more triggered than you think.

They look calm. They sound reasonable. They don't raise their voice or storm out of meetings.

But here's what I've learned: appeasers often carry the most tension.

Two telltale signs:

— Their energy feels "off" even when their words are perfect

— They leave critical thoughts unsaid to avoid discomfort

If that's you (and it's definitely been me!), how can you move from appeasement to genuine ease, where your words and energy align?
