Episode 8 - Emotion at Work *SPECIAL EDITION* listener questions

This podcast is about sharing ideas, insights, research and experiences around emotion in the workplace.  Here we explore the breadth and depth of emotions so listeners can use what we discuss to help enrich lives or help protect from or reduce harm.  We focus on the roles #emotion #credibility and #deception play in the workplace.

In this special edition, Phil asked on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter for questions from listeners.  These could be about any aspect of #emotion, #credibility or #deception or related to a particular episode so far.  The questions and who asked them are below and this time you just get to hear Phil's dulcet tones for the whole episode *lucky you* ;-)

Questions:

 

Annette Hill - @familyhrguru

 

When the idea of collaboration, sharing stories and social leadership is very current, is the need to keep this valid and grounded in what is happening now, even more acute?

 

How do we encourage and value this gradual and incremental way of learning?

 

Ross Garner - @RossGarnerGP

 

Are conversation rituals a useful crutch?

 

Patrick Mullarkey - @mentormullarkey

 

Can I ask a personal question that is tenuously linked to identity? What advice would Phil Willcox have given to himself ten years ago?

 

Sarah Taylor

 

Something I'm pondering on a lot these days is the balance between self-acceptance and self-improvement. When does the desire to change aspects of ourselves and our feelings become problematic?
