Emotions at Work

Send us a MessageWe'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!  SHOW NOTES: Hellos & Welcome 0:00Weekly Check-in 01:35Intro to main discussion - Emotions at Work 5:12What does it mean to be "emotional?" 8:33Does crying at work ruin your career? 12:22Emotional regulation 20:49What's your EQ - emotional quotient or emotional intelligence - got to do with it? 23:08Is it possible to check your emotions at the door? 26:19Highly sensitive people in the workplace 27:39Bringing your whole self to work 31:42Golden nuggets 32:22Up Next: Why Words Matter - The Power of Language 34:05RESOURCES: Liz & MollieNo Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at WorkWhy Highly Sensitive People Make The Best Leaders, Forbes Magazine, April 13, 2020Connect with us directly:You can find Kim at https://www.kimromain.com, as well as on LinkedIn @kimromain and on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok @thekimromainYou can find all things Louise here.Wanna get started on crafting your own kickass career?
