Got goat? Those two words keep rolling back to me over and over again as I contemplate exactly what is my trigger point? Or.. what’s my goat?

Go ahead and try to make me get unnerved.

In this episode we begin with an Aikido saying from O’Sensei “True Victory is Self Victory” and explore other musings, like exactly what it is that makes us lose ourself when triggered… or give away our Goat. Baaahaaaa

We are back on track with the chapter Cause No Harm from my book, Leading Chaos; An Essential Guide to Conflict Management.

Understanding our own trigger points is a key to maintaining personal and scene safety.

I chat about the story of Bully Hill Vineyard in New York state and how Walter Taylor gave it to the Coca Cola company that bought his family wine label Taylor wines.

Here is the label with this saying, which I messed up a bit on the podcast, but you get the point.

They took my name and heritage, but they didn’t get my goat!

You have a bit of homework thinking about what gets your goat – but it will be time well spent. Certainly, the next time someone tries to get your goat your will be prepared!
