S5E7 - How To Take A Stand At Work: Navigating Tough Times With Emotional Intelligence

With the recent election’s emotional impact still being felt by all, I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to reflect - from watching Kamala Harris fight the good fight to the stark reality of raising a Black man in today’s America.

But how do we deal with these emotions in the workplace?

Today, I am diving deep into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with major life events and workplace challenges. As we start our series on emotional intelligence, I take a moment to reflect on the highs, the lows, and the unexpected twists of this journey, both personally and professionally.

Tune in to learn how to navigate emotions whilst balancing and executing your leadership responsibilities.
