Generosity has some great emotions.

And humans are emotional beings. The way you use yours can dictate the health of your work experience.

No one wants to be overwhelmed by their emotions and it’s also not good to suppress them completely.

So how you do you handle them well on the job?

You identify the good ones and lean in. I have some thoughts to share with you about how powerful certain emotions can be for building a healthy work experience, and of course, generous culture.

Have an emotionally generous rest of your week. 😀
