Vulnerable vs oversharing at work – where’s the line?

This Working Life

Have you ever cried at work or been yelled at in front of your colleagues?

In this third instalment of our series about your health at work we’re digging deep and talking about emotions at work.

You’ll hear why it’s good for you to talk about your feelings at work, what selective vulnerabilities are and why you should know about them, how leaders need to be more emotional, and what the detrimental costs of emotional labour are when we don’t express ourselves at work.

Guests:

• Liz Fosslien - Expert on emotions at work and author of No Hard Feelings and Big Feelings
• Dr Saul Karnovsky - Senior Lecturer in Education, Curtin University

And thanks to Alana for sharing her story.
