WLI Professional Development Series Presents:

Taking Care of Emotional Business: Advice for Managing Yourself, Your Employees, and Your Clients
Guest Speaker: Jill Robinson
Assistant Dean of External Relations and Strategic Partnerships
The Jack C. Massey College of Business
Belmont University
The Program: Open to all ULI Nashville Members, this program with Jill Robinson will address the emotional labor of leadership which requires learning to have compassion, handling others’ emotions, and taking care of yourself through it all. As described succinctly in this Harvard Business Review article, people in positions of leadership have always managed their own emotions to be seen as effective leaders - and are often charged with managing the emotions of others as well. Those in leadership often absorb this unpaid, invisible work in order to responsibly and thoughtfully navigate the needs, anxiety, grief, ideas, and aspirations of employees, coworkers, and clients.
Managers and leaders have been quietly taking on an extra level of responsibility since the pandemic. The uncertainties of the last few years and today’s post-Covid economy have amplified the emotional labor for those in leadership roles as many employees are dealing with burnout, mental health, and work/life balance issues. Jill will have key takeaways that address understanding how to set boundaries and other essential skills for taking care of your emotional business.
