Ever had an anger hangover?  It doesn't need to be this way. Learning to navigate anger is a skill. It is possible to handle anger in such a way that you can take away its value. Do yourself proud in how you behave and come out the other side with relationships that are stronger and more authentic for having explored the honest truth of your anger.

Emotions at Work  How do emotions show up in the work place? How do they affect performance? How we can create awareness around them in order to make them work for us?  Evolution of Emotions in the Workplace  Historically corporate culture involved leaving one’s emotions at home. Employees were required to show up, hands and feet with a skill set, as ‘human capital’. The human doing instead of the human being. The human being: heart, soul, passion, self-motivation, was considered a potential distraction. Females were labelled as too emotional.  How EQ works for us – it enables our IQ Companies should be raising awareness around the fact that our intellectual intelligence (IQ) works best in service to our emotional intelligence (EQ). When we align EQ and IQ we have more efficient access to knowledge, skill and experience because we have the capacity to choose our reactions to a situation as it is unfolding, rather than being at the mercy of a story guided by our subconscious/learned belief system, which activates a reflex type reaction. We can operate outside of the ‘fight or flight’ survival mode which obscures rational thought and doesn’t allow space for engaging in collaborative thought processes among team mates.

Unconscious programs drive us in our cars and in our lives Some of what is covered in this podcast conversation: Unconscious programs drive our behaviour. This is both helpful at times and in certain places and not serving when it comes to patterns that don’t serve us.  When we become conscious of our programs we can change them. Many of our programs are in place by the time we are 7 years old. Our children are not passive passengers they are absorbing lessons of how to behave in the vehicle from the driver.  Bruce Lipton, shares that 95% of the time we are living from unconscious mind (patterns). How to make changes in behaviour that don’t serve you:  Recognise and acknowledge &amp; label what is going on for you. How are you feeling? What are you thinking? Know where you want to go. What would I like the change to be? How would I like to drive/be/behaviour? Be intentional and when you notice you’ve been unconscious celebrate that you notice instead of beating yourself up for falling into old patterns. Be gentle. Change takes as long as it takes.
