1. Emotions at Work Louise Neil & Kim Romain 35:19

We’ve been taught that we must avoid showing our emotions at work.   

And yet, by overmanaging our emotions, we are cutting off creativity, and communication, and are creating workplaces that don’t work for the humans that work there.   

Whether you have emotional staff members or are someone who wears their emotions on your sleeve, it’s important to understand how to work with emotions when they show up at work.  

On this week’s show, Kim & Louise explore the world of emotions at work. It’s sure to stir up some emotions in many of us!
