Monday thought #17: "How to deal with "negative" or "bad" emotions, what most people do instead - and why my suggestion is only for the courageous ones"
Are you ready to take charge?
Are you prepared to walk into some discomfort?
There is a reason I ask those questions - because if you're not - this podcast is not for you.
Admittedly we all cringe when being confronted with what most of us would call "negative" or "bad" emotions.
Many of us rather pull our fingernails out than talk or even deal with that kind of stuff.

I am a strong leader - and still, also soft and yearn to be taken care of occasionally.
I am generally organized - and sometimes still chaotic.
I'm a serious person - and still laugh about silly stuff.
I'm a feminist - and still love (most) men.

Hi, I'm Claudia and the founder of The Better Workplace and creator of the Personal Leadership eXperience 5.0 program. Having spent 30 years in leading positions in the IT business, and running my own company provided me with tons of knowledge, insight and learnings which I'm sharing with you on a weekly basis. Oh - and did I mention that I raised two kids on my own? That was probably when I learned most about humans - how we work, and where we screw up. What works, what doesn't work. What makes us happy, how to get those relationships working and how to get more energy. Still lots to learn and to find out - and you can be the first to learn what I learn - just subscribe to my weekly newsletter and you're in. Lots of love, Claudia
