Emotion At Work Phil Willcox

During this episode my guest today is Libby Sander, a leading thinker on understanding the future of work and how we can re-imagine work to live more meaningful and creative lives.
 
We discuss how physical work environments affect cognitive, emotional, and relational reactions, highlighting the importance of focus and concentration for knowledge workers. We discuss how open-plan offices could hinder productivity due to noise distractions and mention the positive impact of a sense of beauty in workplaces on mood and creativity.

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.
