Embracing Emotions at Work

Embracing Emotions at Work

“You can’t just flip a switch when you step into the office and turn your emotions off. Feeling feelings is part of being human,” says author and illustrator Liz Fosslien. In this lesson, we’ll watch and discuss a talk, entitled How to Embrace Emotions at Work, in which Liz shares why selective vulnerability is the key to bringing your authentic self to work.

Liz is the Head of Content and Editorial at Humu, a company that uses behavioral science to make work better and the coauthor and illustrator of the Wall Street Journal best-seller No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work. Her work has been featured by the New York Times, TIME magazine, The Economist and NPR.
