From political to authentic. How emotional intelligence helps us bring our emotions to work deliberately and consciously.
Usha Gubbala
"I so believe in creating workspaces where we can show up with more and more of who we really are, and how we really feel. I stand for this because, through my own personal journey and experiences, I’ve come to believe in the power of emotions to move people and work forward in radically efficient ways. My own emotions often hold important intelligence, and wisdom. They point to the things I need to pay attention to. They push me to make important changes. They help me discern more clearly. I work relentlessly in noticing, uncovering, and working with my emotions. In my work as a facilitator and consultant, I continue to observe how the inclusion of emotional information can me navigate group dynamics more skillfully in service of deepened efficacy and creativity." - Usha Gubbala
