#42 The Truth About Emotions (Especially at Work)
In this episode, we unpack the myth of "good" and "bad" emotions, explore how emotional rigidity, denial, and pressure to stay positive can harm our well-being and performance. We explain how emotions are data (not directives), and discuss how to navigate feelings - like anger or vulnerability - in environments that often suppress them, eg work. The truth about emotions is - “what we resist, persists”. Lawyers and leaders must learn emotional intelligence to have fulfilling lives and successful careers.
As always, we do not leave our listeners wondering where to start - we offer an experiment to start practising EQ: the Emotional Wheel - to help you name, express and move through emotions rather than avoid them. Download it here.
TED Talk mentioned in this episode is: The Gift and Power of Emotional Courage by Susan David
