Managing Emotions in Personal Agile Journeys

Agile brings changes, yet change does not come easily even when we want it! Coaching in the field of managing emotions can help you support others - as humans - through their Agile journey. 

At work, we are often told to leave our emotions behind. Being emotional or even showing emotions is often seen as unprofessional. Yet, emotions are what makes us distinctly human — a window to what we care about, our values, our worldview. Emotions are a part of us and can tell a lot about us, including our current place in our agile journey and our goals. Tap into that!

Emotions offer:

• What is important to us
• How we feel about our ability to cope with a situation (power perception)
• The direction of our preferred action (energy flow)
• Clues about our beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors

Emotion is your resource. Be aware of it, understand it, use it. It will aid you in your own journey and in helping others along their journey.
