The episode highlights the importance of vulnerability in conversation, offers practical phrases for clearer discussion and encourages a shift in focus towards joy and fulfilment instead of stress management at work, alongside recommendations for further reading to enrich understanding of workplace mental health.

During this episode my guest today is Emma Wall, Practice Manager at a large General Practice in Derby. We take a deep dive into the challenges faced in leadership during remote and hybrid work environments, particularly focusing on emotions at work. Primary care is a hugely challenging setting from an emotion perspective. Patients are unwell and/or emotionally charged already, so their ability to regulate their emotions is inhibited. Those providing primary care are often over stretched. Those that are there to help the patients and those providing the care are then contending with regulating their own emotions as well as the emotions of all those around them. Our conversation touches on various aspects such as resilience, adaptability, communication strategies and understanding yourself better through tools like Myers-Briggs tests and Clifton's strengths finder. We discuss the importance of clear communication, setting expectations, engaging individuals before tasks, and being mindful of team dynamics. Emotional labour and emotion work are subjects we have covered in episodes 2, 25, 26 and 27 as well as the special edition of episode 37.

The hot take on our plate today is this: ”L&D can never build communities as they’re not targeted or rewarded for it.” It’s a bold statement, and we’re eager to explore it from all angles.
