We're diving deep into the messy world of workplace emotions in this third episode of the Headlex podcast. We are exploring how we can harness and regulate them to enhance both our performance and relationships. Join us as we tackle the critical subject of emotional regulation at work. From understanding what's happening in our brains to practical tips for self-awareness and coping strategies, this episode is packed with insights and tools to help you handle those intense moments with more grace and composure. In this episode we discuss emotional regulation from a neurotypical perspective. Recognising that not everyone’s experiences will be the same. As always, we'll end with self-coaching questions to help you reflect on your own experiences and find your own path to better emotional regulation.
