SXSW 2020
The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at WOrk
Description:
My co-author Mollie West Duffy and I will speak about how to effectively harness the power of emotion at work, with a specific focus on building a culture of belonging and navigating different work styles.
We'll start by asking: What if you could bring yourself out of hiding and into the organization, even the parts of yourself that don’t seem to belong on surface level? Diversity is having a seat at the table, inclusion is having a voice, and belonging is having that voice be heard. We'll then outline the actionable steps individuals and organizations can take to create a culture of belonging. Finally, we'll share common communication and collaboration differences based on gender, age, race, cultural, and extraversion-level and share tips for how to make work better for everyone.
