"Why do people think I’m angry when I’m not?"

As a communication coach, Angel Howard hears this question constantly from leaders.

The culprit? Unintentional messages.

An unintentional message is a signal that slips out through nonverbal habits, physical tension, or automatic reactions. You might be saying, "I'm open to feedback," but:
❌ Your arms are tightly crossed over your chest.
❌ Your breath is shallow and rapid.
❌ Your eyes scan the floor instead of making eye contact.

These reactions often stem from primal fear. When stress triggers the amygdala, cortisol and adrenaline surge, putting your body into fight, flight, or freeze.
While you think you are broadcasting calm authority, your nervous system is signaling panic or defensiveness.

Key Takeaway: Intentional messages require alignment. When your purpose, words, and physical state all point in the same direction, your message carries true impact.

👇 Action Step: Try the "Listen to Your Body" exercise: Next time your stomach is in knots before a call, pause. Ask yourself: What is my body trying to tell me right now?

You can have the textbook daily routine—wake up at 5 a.m., work out, eat healthy, work 8 hours—and still feel completely lost and unfulfilled. Why? Because you lack a "carrot".

In Chapter 7, author Angel Howard explains that your internal Metal element needs a specific target, purpose, or reward dangling at the finish line—a "why" that demands your commitment.

Symptoms of a Rusty Metal Element: • Persistent brain fog and indecisiveness • Feeling "lost" or directionless despite being busy • Fear of commitment and chasing every new shiny object

The "A Day in the Life" Meditation Practice: To find your carrot, quiet your distractions and visualize your life 5 years from now. What does your bed feel like? Who are you talking to? What have you achieved?

Once your "why" becomes clear, walk backward from that vision to set concrete, calendar-marked benchmarks.

🎯 What is the primary "carrot" driving your hard work this season?

Have you listened to my latest episode of The UpShift Podcast?

In this episode, I speak with Wanda Sobieski about a life shaped by curiosity, persistence, and a drive to understand how laws and social expectations affect women.

Wanda shares her path from growing up in a conservative Ozarks family to becoming an attorney and advocate for women’s rights. She also explores the long fight for women’s suffrage, Tennessee’s pivotal role in ratifying the 19th Amendment, and the sacrifices made by generations of women seeking the right to vote.

The conversation concludes with Wanda’s work to create the Women’s Suffrage Museum in Knoxville, an interactive museum designed to preserve these stories and help future generations understand the history behind rights that can be easy to take for granted.

Leadership gets a lot of attention.

Purpose gets much less.

We talk about influence, visibility, growth, and results. But none of those answer the bigger question:

What is your leadership actually in service of?

That question matters because leadership without purpose can still look successful from the outside.

I wrote about this in my Newsweek piece, “Too Many Leaders, Too Little Purpose.”

It’s a conversation I think is worth continuing.

You have to know what you are trying to change before you can expect anyone else to move with you.
