Episode 70 - Emotion at Work in Remote and Hybrid Leadership

During this episode my guest today is Emma Wall, Practice Manager at a large General Practice in Derby.  We take a deep dive into the challenges faced in leadership during remote and hybrid work environments, particularly focusing on emotions at work.
 
Primary care is a hugely challenging setting from an emotion perspective. Patients are unwell and/or emotionally charged already, so their ability to regulate their emotions is inhibited. Those providing primary care are often over stretched. Those that are there to help the patients and those providing the care are then contending with regulating their own emotions as well as the emotions of all those around them.
 
Our conversation touches on various aspects such as resilience, adaptability, communication strategies and understanding yourself better through tools like Myers-Briggs tests and Clifton's strengths finder. We discuss the importance of clear communication, setting expectations, engaging individuals before tasks, and being mindful of team dynamics.
 
Emotional labour and emotion work are subjects we have covered in episodes 2, 25, 26 and 27 as well as the special edition of episode 37. If you are after more on emotional labour listen to those podcasts next, links below.

Episode 67 - Emotion at Work back to basics

Welcome to the Emotion at Work podcast. Today, we’re switching it up a little with Lizzi Philokyprou from the Emotion at Work team asking Phil questions she wish she knew about emotion(s) and emotional intelligence. While Phil opens and closes the podcast it is Lizzi asking the questions and shaping the conversation. 
Phil as the co-founder of Emotion at Work has LOADS of knowledge and experience in his head which Lizzi wanted the listeners to know. Starting with some key definitions we move into the universality (or not) of emotions and then into emotion regulation strategies. Phil sprinkles a mix of research, practical examples and the odd film reference into this episode which Lizzi described after the recording as hugely interesting, relatable and helpful.

We're joined by our guests, each bringing their unique perspectives to the table. We have Ross Garner and Nahdia Khan from Mind Tools, along with Lizzi Philokyprou from the Emotion at Work team.
 
So, grab your headphones and get ready for an engaging discussion as we unravel the intricacies of building communities in the world of Learning and Development. It's going to be an insightful journey, and we're delighted to have you along for the ride!
