Your Inner Chimp

Colin talks about the chimp we have inside us all, how it can manifest itself in emotional bursts, and how we can tame the beast from time-to-time, especially in the workplace.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Often we react emotionally to a situation, without the element of reason to guide us. This is our raw, primal personality emerging, or our chimp! The moment we feel ourselves becoming upset or emotional, do your best to recognise what's happening, and endeavour to calm down before you do something you'll regret. BEST MOMENTS 'It's your chimp that's screeching' 'I can remember losing it!'  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/vn/podcast/the-interesting-health-safety-podcast/id1467771449     ABOUT THE HOST Colin Nottage ‘Making health and safety as important as everything else we do.’ This is the belief that Colin is passionate about and through his consultancy Influential Management Group (IMG) is able to spread into industry.
