Reviewer Gopal So I want you to picture your next big meeting.
2
All the stakeholders around the table.
3
There's one other person there.
4
They're a little bit to the side.
5
They're actively engaging and responding to every comment and decision being said at that table.
6
But they're not saying a word.
7
In fact, they're not being called on.
8
So, who's this mystery person at the table?
9
This silenced person is emotion.
10
It's emotion and how emotion is treated in business today.
11
In fact, I would even argue most people want this person to stay invisible, stay to the side, but not me.
12
I notice and love emotion and nuance because it helps me uncover human truths and get at the root of things.
13
Because that's what I do as a brand strategist.
14
I've been doing that for 15 years.
15
as a career and leadership coach and a person who is passionate about workplace culture.
16
Operating with the motions and bringing them to the table is part of the role.
17
And then furthermore, as a person, it's how I see the world.
18
It's what comes naturally to me.
19
But I know, I know I'm different.
20
I know this is not the norm in business.
21
I know emotions at the table can be quite uncomfortable for certain people.
22
But I also know that times are changing.
23
Two years ago, I saw this beautiful book display, and I got very excited, because when I leaned in, what I saw was a book series of emotional intelligence.
24
And it was by Harvard Business Review.
25
and it was sitting next to bestsellers.
26
And I was like, ooh, the world is catching up.
27
Like, I'm into this.
28
I was like, emotion intelligence is important.
29
It's a theme in popular culture.
30
It's a familiar term.
31
It even earned this space at the airport where there's high foot traffic.
32
I was super excited.
33
And then, a year later, reality hit.
34
I had two different C-suite leaders from two different companies comment this to me.
35
Oh, you do the soft stuff.
36
Oh, I could feel and see how my skills were being undervalued in that moment, being deprioritized when the projects didn't come through.
37
And this was wildly frustrating.
38
I was like, how are business leaders still not seeing what I see that is vital to their business?
39
How is emotional intelligence on bookshelves and not in boardrooms?
40
And it's not a knowledge issue because we clearly have the books, right?
41
I also believe it's not a malicious thing either.
42
I believe the problem is a perception problem with emotions itself.
43
Because underneath this comment is an undercurrent, a narrative, a story of what gets valued and what doesn't.
44
And that story is that emotions are weak and thus unprofessional.
45
And this isn't just an issue with CEOs, this is a misconception in society, as you can see by the search.
46
This screenshot was taken a month ago, January 2026.
47
So people are still searching this, trying to figure this out.
48
This leads me to believe that if we want to close this gap, we don't necessarily need more research, although that's great.
49
What we really need is new perspectives, a new narrative that helps people feel differently about emotions.
50
But before we get into those new narratives, let's define emotions.
51
So think about what comes to mind when I say this phrase, expressing emotions at work.
52
Just take a second to note what came to mind.
53
Because when I asked others, they conjured up these ideas of emotional outbursts and extreme, embarrassing behaviors.
54
And I want to clarify right now that emotions are not behaviors.
55
Emotions are what you feel, and behaviors are the reactions to that.
56
So we need to decouple the two to really start to change this narrative and to get really clear about what we're talking about.
57
We also need to talk about the perceptions that are feeding this story, because perceptions are layered and they run deep.
58
So we're going to unpack the perceptions I had to unravel to get here.
59
This is me.
60
I was born in the US in the 1980s and 90s, clearly.
61
It was a time of polka dots.
62
It was a time of girl power.
63
And it was a time of the strong female lead.
64
So if you were to sprinkle on top of that my country's love of independence, that cultural value, I started to picture this superwoman who had no emotions and no need for support.
65
She was strong.
66
So while my cultural idols had little to no emotional range, I, on the other hand, had a very different experience growing up.
67
So, you see, I was a very sensitive child and still am a sensitive person proudly.
68
But as a child, I was told I was too sensitive, too emotional.
69
I was spoiled.
70
So what I was gathering from what I saw and experienced in culture was that emotions aren't good.
71
Emotions aren't useful to my dreams.
72
They aren't strong, which is what I wanted to be.
73
And we don't just absorb this from school and from culture.
74
We inherit these stories from the generations before us.
75
Think of the dismissive sayings that you've probably heard.
76
Don't be emotional, don't be hysterical, leave emotions at the door.
77
Emotions aren't weak.
78
Emotions were sold to us that way.
79
They were misrepresented across decades, across generations, even across countries and cultures.
80
So question the perceptions that you have of emotions and see if they're even yours, if they're true.
81
Challenge them like I did.
82
And ask yourself if you're willing to let past perceptions limit your future.
83
because your perceptions of emotion really do matter now, especially as the conversation is geared more towards AI, and that feels at odds with emotions and starts to put emotions to the side
84
because they're not at odds.
85
They're actually complementary.
86
This is a chart of the top 10 growing skills according to World Economic Forum.
87
At the top, unsurprisingly, is AI.
88
Most people would focus on that.
89
I want to draw your attention to numbers four through eight, which is also 50 percent of the top 10 skills that are also connected to emotional intelligence.
90
They are also connected to the number one skill of AI.
91
In order to master and apply AI you must be able to learn, be resilient to trying and failing and go through that discomfort.
92
Emotions, paying attention to them and understanding them is foundational in this moment of time.
93
We are in a time of disruptive change.
94
We We have no idea what's coming next.
95
So the next time the thought that emotions are unprofessional runs through your mind, think of this,
96
and remember that emotions are important, and they are useful in navigating this moment, in thriving in this moment.
97
I'd even go as far to say that emotion is a future-proof strategy.
98
Because if emotion drives humans, and humans drive business and opportunity, then emotion is a future-proof strategy for your business and even your career.
99
Emotions aren't going anywhere.
100
So as a strategist, not surprising, I came to a strategy.
101
I also know, working with business leaders, that people want to get practical.
102
So we're about to get into that.
103
But first, I want to lay the foundation of emotions since it is like a new language for people, especially if we are used to putting it to the side and not giving it a voice.
104
And according to Brene Brown, the average number of emotions that people can recall is five.
105
And the next model I'm going to share with you is called the feelings wheel.
106
It was developed by Gloria Wilcox and Jeffrey Roberts, and it had 120 emotions on it.
107
My interpretation only has 80 represented.
108
The point of this is that when you open up to emotions,
109
when you let them speak at the table, what you get is access to all of this rich information, all of this nuance.
110
When you give it time to dig deep and get surgical into what you're really feeling, you're able to get clarity.
111
And with that clarity, you can articulate what's going on to other people.
112
And you're able to drive appropriate action.
113
If you presented a project to me and my response was, okay, I'm surprised, You might think, oh, she's in awe of it, she loves it.
114
While I might be like, hmm, I'm a little confused as to how they got there.
115
And that misunderstanding can drive very different reactions and actions.
116
It's like what Dr.
117
Susan David said.
118
She's a psychologist and an author of emotional agility.
119
And she said, emotions are data.
120
And that's what this wheel is really showing.
121
the resource that emotions provide and the more that you see emotions as data and
122
as a source of insight the more you see its value everywhere in business I'm
123
going to give you three examples the first example is how emotions offer creative inspiration
124
in product and marketing so emotions are actually guiding what you create for people and how you market it, how you tell them about it.
125
In product and design, one of the biggest questions you ask, what pain point are you solving for?
126
You also don't just ask who are you solving for, you ask what are they going through?
127
What's their emotional experience?
128
Right?
129
When I was working on a product,
130
it was a platform for parental leave and the audience were expecting parents but there are more
131
stressed type A overwhelmed parents they were not the expecting parents that were anxious or worried so what they
132
wanted was control they wanted to hack the system they wanted to feel confident about it what they didn't need was validation or comfort and that insight and nuance really informed how we were designing this product and the experience.
133
It was super important.
134
And it's the same in marketing and advertising.
135
When I was in creative reviews of the work, one of the first questions we would ask is, how does this work make me feel?
136
Does it move me as a human?
137
So emotions can actually solve business problems if you pay attention to them.
138
Second example is how emotions unlock high performance in your teams.
139
Expressing emotions is how you build trust, how you build relationships and build that connection.
140
And that is key in building teams that are full of leaders and high performance.
141
It's what turns colleagues into teammates, managers into leaders, and it also creates space
142
for that healthy conflict that's needed for innovation, for the flag raising, for the risk taking.
143
And it's not just me.
144
Google did this study in 2016, and it was an internal study on their highest performing teams.
145
They were trying to figure out the biggest factor.
146
And the biggest factor was not technical capability.
147
It was psychological safety.
148
So if you work with humans and you want them to perform well, also know that you are working with emotions, and emotions are on your side.
149
They can help you.
150
And my last example is about wise decision-making in your leaders.
151
So it's well-studied and known, from neuroscience to behavioral economics, that humans are emotional decision makers.
152
So my point here is really to think about the awareness of your emotions.
153
Because when you're not aware, what happens is you make decisions from fear, from stress, from lack of sleep, from ego, and you don't even realize it.
154
Your inner critic might be killing the next great project, and you have no idea.
155
When you are aware of your emotions, all of a sudden you have access to that data, and you're making more informed decisions with good judgment.
156
An example of this, I was leading a rebranding project for a company that was almost 100 years old.
157
So it was a big deal, it was high stakes.
158
And as I was presenting the strategy to the leadership team, the questions I got were like, well, what about this?
159
And what if that happens?
160
And I realized this meeting was not about rational debates.
161
It was a meeting to manage fear.
162
It was a meeting to manage the possibility of a mistake or grief in the brand changing.
163
So instead of going through the presentation, I let it get derailed.
164
and I allowed us to talk about what was in the room.
165
And once we did that, they could focus on the strategy, and the strategy got approved.
166
But you can easily see how quickly the entire project, not just the strategy, but the whole project, could have been killed and put on the shelf because of unacknowledged emotions.
167
Do you see how much of an asset emotions are in business, in your career, in your decisions, in your work.
168
And that brings me to my last point.
169
Emotion has business value.
170
So the next time AI comes up in conversation, which it undoubtedly will, which is great, then don't forget what you need to do is just acknowledge it, name it, talk about it, bring it up in conversation.
171
Talk about the value that it adds, Because that is what will change the narrative, and that is how we make emotional intelligence a best practice instead of just a buzzword.

练习技巧
学习者可以通过英语影子跟读的方式来锻炼自己的发音和语调，以此提高英语口语能力。首先，观看这段演讲时注意演讲者的语速和情感表达，将其视为模仿的对象。可以在每一段落后暂停视频，重复演讲者的句子，通过这样的shadowspeak练习，帮助你的发音变得更加自然，同时提高对语言的掌控力。如果意识到自己的情感表达不足，不妨在跟读时加入个人情感，用以增强语句的传达效果。当练习完成后，可以选择与他人交流时运用这些新学到的词汇，从而为雅思口语练习打下良好的基础。这不仅能提高你在考场上的表现，还能在真实生活中帮助你更好地表达自己。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
