Carolyn’s Topics
Addressing emotions in the workplace can be intimidating for many leaders, as they fear uncovering underlying issues or handling difficult feelings. However, ignoring emotions only leads to inappropriate behaviors and communication problems. Instead of sweeping them under the rug, leaders should learn how to address both their own emotions and those of their team. By developing emotional skills and mental strategies, leaders can manage emotions with strength and intelligence, creating a more positive and productive work environment where emotions are celebrated and used as a powerful resource.
