144. Emotions at Work
About this Podcast
Ep. 144 – Do you hide or guard your emotions at work? Or do you worry about coming across as “too emotional”?
Yes, you might want to bring your whole self to work but you also don’t want to lose credibility by being too emotionally involved or by losing your poise.
In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, I am going to share how you can manage your emotions effectively while being intentional and aware of your impact on others. You will learn where our emotions come from, how to navigate them, what to pay attention to, and the four steps you can take when you notice your emotions at work.
