This document is from Emotional Development Academy and discusses managing emotions at work. It is part of a 4-week emotion dynamics training for professionals in Lagos, Nigeria. The training aims to help participants transform how they handle common negative emotions like frustration, worry, anger, and dislike that often arise in stressful workplace situations. Participants are provided with strategies for coping with different emotions, such as taking deep breaths to manage worry or writing down the source of frustration to gain perspective. The overall goal is to help professionals maintain control over their emotional responses instead of letting emotions control their reactions, especially under pressure.

Everything can be taken from a man
but the last of human freedoms –
the ability to choose one's attitude
in a given set of circumstances, to
choose one's way.

stressful situations might be to start
shouting, or to go hide in a corner and feel
sorry for yourself for a while.
But at work, these types of behavior could
seriously harm your professional reputation,
as well as your productivity. Powered by:

COPING STRATEGIES
• Frustration/Irritation
Stop and evaluate – One of
the best things you can do is
mentally stop yourself, and look at the situation.
Ask yourself why you feel
frustrated. Write it down, and
be specific. Then think of one
positive thing about your current
situation.

COPING STRATEGIES: WORRY/NERVOUSNESS
 Don't surround yourself with worry
and anxiety. Worrying tends to lead
to more worrying, and that isn't
good for anyone.
Try deep-breathing exercises –
This helps slow your breathing and
your heart rate.
Focus on how to improve
the situation
