There are lots of “F” words that we’re supposed to avoid in the workplace. Fear. Failure. Flirting. Fighting. And of course, the word to end all “F” words, which I won’t say because I like to avoid an explicit rating! But there’s another F word, and this one we avoid at our peril: Feelings. Our question this episode: how can we talk about our feelings at work?
My guest today is Melanie Katzman, PhD, author of the forthcoming book, "Connect First: 52 Simple Ways to Ignite Success, Meaning, and Joy at Work" (McGraw-Hill, Oct 22, 2019). Melanie offers us some quick and easy ways to create more connection in the workplace by embracing our feelings and emotions, rather than avoiding them. We also discuss the art of asking for and receiving an apology, and strategies for moving forward with a vision or project when your colleagues aren’t on the same wavelength. Hosted by Beth L.
