Effective Ways to Manage Your Emotions at Work

My new book is all about beating burnout. Find out more here: https://lianedavey.com/books/thoughtl... Being emotional at work just means that you're human. It’s important to remember that everyone struggles with emotions, and everyone has days where they can take over. However, letting the negative emotions build up further will only make things worse. Instead, by being transparent about what’s bothering you and then asking for help in moving forward, you take the high ground and retake control of that moment. Try these approaches next time you're feeling emotional at work. How do you manage your emotions at work? Let me know in the comments.

So far, I've never been in space. I don't even have an Olympic gold medal (although I did win the Grade 9 Phys Ed award). But the prize for solving the most difficult team challenges is named after me (no, not really, but someday it probably will be). For the past 25 years, I've researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. Known as the “teamwork doctor,” I've worked with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across a variety of industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including 26 Global Fortune 500 companies (and counting), I've developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them. https://www.lianedavey.com/about/ Connect with me:   / lianedavey   https://www.lianedavey.com #psychology #communication #emotions
