#85 - Why Professionalism Is Often Code for Emotional Suppression

from Unlocking Leadership Through Authentic Communication · host Kristen Lena

If you shrink when you should be respectfully challenging someone or bite your tongue when something makes you upset, you aren’t necessarily being professional. You very well could be taking valid emotions and shoving them way down so you can keep the peace…and your job. Here, we explore some sentiments I grew up with that you likely did too and how you can express how you feel without compromising your character and credibility.
