Discussing emotions at work can feel out of place or "unprofessional" for leaders and teams. And yet, everyone has feelings - anxiety about COVID, disappointments about changed plans in 2020, frustration with coworkers, family issues, and more.
Instead of being a distraction, talking about and sharing emotions at work is a key part of building a sense of belongings and trust on teams. And by helping teammates acknowledge and process their emotions, leaders can increase the effectiveness of their team, helping then to get more done, and feel better.
Sometimes, it feels odd when the other person in your office starts sharing these types of talks but the best way to handle this situation is to listen, understand and empathy. There are some people (like me) who can handle these situations and never share feelings with someone in the office. But those who are sharing means they are in trouble and wants some help/guidance/suggestions.
