Liz Fosslien: Learning from your emotions

Lancefield on the Line

How much do you suppress your emotions at work?

What if you could be more aware of them, in control of them, and learn from them?

That’s the topic of my conversation with Liz Fosslein in this episode. She shares her stories, research, and experience of tapping into Big Emotions, captured so brilliantly in her book of the same name, co authored with Mollie West Duffy.

We talk about how to handle and learn from your anger, burnout, comparison, feelings of uncertainty.

So if you’re feeling any of these emotions or know somebody who is, this is the episode for you.

You might know Liz from his stunningly creative illustrations that adorn many a social media post. So I couldn’t resist asking about how she develops them too.

About Liz:
Liz is the co-author and illustrator of the national best-seller Big Feelings and the Wall Street Journal best-seller No Hard Feelings (which have both been translated into 15+ languages) and an expert on effectively embracing emotions at work.
