Emotional Agility and Rigidity in the Workplace

The work place is really interesting, because the workplace is the stage on which all of the patterns and stories that we've developed throughout our lives really come to the fore. Rigidity is essentially when our thoughts, our emotions, our stories, and often our patterns, our insuitive way of being in the world, start to dominate a situation. So for example, you may have a difficult situation at work and you shut down. Or you are in a meeting where you feeling underm and so in your head and in your way ofbeing in that meeting, you basically decide that you aren't going to contribute further.
