You’ve probably felt it, or been told before: “Emotions don’t belong at the workplace.” 🙅‍♀️

But here’s the thing. Emotions exist everywhere at work, whether you like it or not.

Behind every passive-aggressive Slack message, every awkward silence where nobody names the tension, every meeting that should’ve been an email…there’s an emotion driving it. 😨😬🙄

And ignoring them isn’t making your org more professional. It’s costing you - in performance, team connection and missed opportunities.

We’ve seen first-hand how learning to understand and work with emotions - rather than around them - can genuinely transform your organisational culture. So our Learning & Development duo Rebecca Trouwee and Sanne Creusen joined Flo to share their best tips and tools!

What you’ll learn:

  • What emotions actually are, according to science
  • Why nobody talks about emotions at work (and why we should)
  • How to adapt your emotional language to your org culture
  • Responding vs reacting: how to constructively handle intense emotions
  • How HR can help build a healthier workplace emotional culture
  • An easy 4-step Monday morning challenge to build your ‘emotional agility’
  • This isn’t about managing stress or crying episodes in the bathroom. It’s about understanding the everyday emotional undercurrent that shapes how teams perform, leaders communicate and drives the behaviours behind your organisational culture & values.

    Essential listening for HR professionals, people managers, and founders - especially the ones who think emotions are just ‘fluff’.
