Conflict Dynamics Course Discussion: Watch the Emotions at Work Ted Talk.
Reflect on the following questions for discussion:
What is your personal reaction to this video? How comfortable are you with showing emotion in your workplace?
How can you apply the speaker’s recommendations in your workplace?
I think one needs to be careful. Sharing one's vulnerability in "safe" situations helps others to have empathy/compassion. However, being too angry, aggressive, etc. can harm others and ones self at work. Sharing of emotions needs to be done respectfully so it doesn't become bullying, discrimination, harassment, etc.
I can share why something is making me upset (etc.) in a disagreement to help the other know "where I am coming from" and ask them to do the same to further our understanding of each other. When sharing emotion one still needs to be considerate of the other person.
