It’s impossible to leave your emotions at the workplace door, nor would you want to. Could you image functioning without passion, joy, or excitement? Probably not, however with all of those emotions, also come more challenging ones such as anger, frustration and anxiety.

During this talk Anne Kreamer, a past business executive at Nickelodeon, journalist and author specializing in business, work/life balance, culture and women’s issues tackles this topic and shares insights and tools to help you best handle emotionally charged colleagues.
