Description

Emotions can sink us, or they can power us like fuel to succeed. Many of us show up for work, and life, feeling lonely even in a room full of people or bringing unproductive emotions into work like anger or fear. You don’t have to feel this way. Susan Packard offers an accessible new guidebook to grow your emotional fitness, and it’s arrived just in time, as technology is quickly becoming our main interface for communication. No matter where you are in your career, success is an inside job. Packard lays out how to develop interdependent work relationships, and for leaders, how to build healthy company cultures.

Packard introduces us to successful people, and companies, that are rich with “connector” emotions like hope, empathy, and trust-building. She tackles unconventional topics, like how workaholism keeps us emotionally adolescent and how forgiveness belongs in the workplace, too. Packard shares her EQ Fit-catalyzed success at HGTV and the stories of the executives she coaches in mindfulness and other emerging techniques, and she teaches an “inside out” practice of self-discovery that helps you uncover unproductive emotions and dispel them.
