Discover why dismantling emotional code-switching is crucial for building inclusive, engaged teams where everyone feels emotionally safe.
About this Event

How often do we really consider the emotional safety of our teams? Emotional code-switching happens when people feel they need to hide or change their emotions to fit in at work. It's something many of us do unconsciously, but the effects are huge. When there's no safe space to express emotions, both employees and leaders end up disengaged, stressed, and misunderstood.

Why is this important? Because emotions are a natural part of being human – like going to the bathroom. We wouldn’t deny that need, so why do we treat emotions differently? When people can't process their feelings in the workplace, it creates a disconnect. People start to check out emotionally, and teams lose their cohesion and trust.

Dismantling emotional code-switching means creating an environment where emotions aren’t seen as a weakness or a "bad attitude." It’s about recognizing that people will have emotions and need space to process them. This isn’t just about employees – leaders also need this psychological safety. Leaders should expect emotions and learn to see them as a natural part of work life, not something that signals an issue with someone's personality or professionalism.

Join us for a powerful conversation about why dismantling emotional code-switching is key to building truly inclusive, engaged teams. If you're committed to fostering a space where everyone can show up as their full selves, this is a discussion you won't want to miss.

Key Takeaways:

  • Explore why emotional code-switching happens and its impact on team dynamics.
  • Understand why emotional safety is essential for both employees and leaders.
  • Learn why emotions are not a sign of a "bad attitude" but a normal part of work.

Let’s talk about creating teams where everyone feels safe to express themselves without judgment. This is the key to real inclusion.
