We tend to think about our emotions as explicit feelings of happiness, anger, or other feelings that we experience in noticeable bursts or events. We may only focus on our emotions in the workplace if they are dramatic and are obviously derailing our success.
However, our background emotions contribute to our consciousness and well-being and are part of our broader landscape of emotions. They operate as the backdrop whether we are aware of them or not. They can be what propels our work forward or what hinders it in terms of procrastination, anxiety, inapproachability, or low level of effort invested. This module considers background emotions and how they can be acknowledged and managed towards better workforce engagement and performance.
