Brain Boost: E%$#*^ (Emotions) at Work

Evidence shows that the emotional culture of an organization influences employee satisfaction, burnout, absenteeism, teamwork, and team performance. They play a huge role in our lives, at home as well as work. The Emotional Culture Deck provides a structured, safe way to discuss your emotions at work. It can also be used to help map the emotional culture you’d like to have as a team, department or organization. During the workshop, Colleen will walk through the importance of emotions at work, how the Emotional Culture Deck works and give everyone the opportunity to play a bit to help better understand how they want to feel at work.

Brain Boost is a monthly brown bag event designed to build expertise, catapult the success of small businesses, and ensure equitable access to a wealth of knowledge. People from a variety of professions and walks of life share their experience and expertise in an educational talk. Then, with the help of a facilitator, participants engage in active conversation. The event aims to spark inclusive conversation and circulate the abundant knowledge of Frederick’s small biz community. Participants bring their own lunch (optionally).
