Managing Emotions
In a typical workday, you may encounter situations that spark a variety of emotions, such as disagreements over decisions, frustration that someone is not taking you seriously, disappointment over not getting a promotion, or maybe complete dissatisfaction with your job. It is important to know when and how to express your emotions, and when to keep them in check. Outbursts, passive-aggressive behavior, or detachment are never responsible ways to handle emotions at work.
This course is designed to give you the tools you need to recognize your emotional triggers, control your emotional and physical responses, and handle your response to other’s emotions. As a result, you will be able to communicate more effectively with supervisors and coworkers, channel negative energy into more positive and productive activities, and increase your emotional intelligence.
