I’ve pinched-with-permission my friend Beccie D’Cunha’s CourageLab Emotions Wheel, which nicely shows the kind of feelings we might have not only in connection with external conflicts, but in connection with the internal conflicts that come with putting ourselves out there through marketing our businesses / personal brands.
