Emotions are sort of emotional markers that contain information.
Ever thought emotions have no place at work? Think again. In this engaging episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Liz Fosslien, Head of Content and Editorial at Humu, about the powerful role emotions play in the workplace. Liz, co-author of 'No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work', brings a wealth of knowledge on how to create a culture where everyone feels they belong.
She leads workshops backed by behavioral science to help remote workers avoid burnout, navigate different work styles, and use emotions effectively as leaders. Liz breaks down the myth that being 'cool, calm, and collected' is the only way to succeed at work. Instead, she argues that emotions are crucial markers that guide decision-making. She shares that people who can't feel emotions often make poor decisions, highlighting the importance of emotional awareness in professional settings.
Liz also discusses how the line between personal and professional lives is blurrier than ever, making it vital to find meaning in our work. For those struggling to find motivation, Liz offers practical advice: identify moments that bring you joy and make more time for them. She also touches on the concept of social distancing—not the pandemic kind, but rather a technique to manage intense emotions by creating some mental space.
This skill can be a game-changer for self-care and emotional regulation. Liz emphasizes the importance of lifelong learning and its positive impact on motivation. She also reveals an interesting tip: in-person requests are over ten times more effective than emails. These insights are not just theoretical but backed by her extensive experience and research. If you're looking to foster a more positive work environment and harness the power of emotions, this episode is a must-listen.
Liz's expertise offers a fresh perspective that could transform how you view emotions at work.
