Emotional Intelligence at Work
Overview
Master the people skills that actually get you promoted, trusted, and heard at work.
Every workplace runs on two currencies: competence and connection. Most professionals spend years sharpening the first and almost no time on the second - until a difficult colleague, a tense meeting, or a feedback conversation exposes the gap.
Emotional Intelligence at Work is a practical, no-nonsense guide to the people skills that determine who gets trusted with ambiguity, who gets promoted, and who people actually want to work for. Built entirely around real workplace situations - not abstract theory - it gives you clear frameworks and ready-to-use language for the moments that matter most.
What's inside:
- How to deal with difficult colleagues (the interrupter, the credit-taker, the passive-aggressive emailer) without losing your composure
- A simple structure for giving feedback that lands instead of triggering defensiveness
- How to receive criticism without shutting down or lashing out
- Reading the emotional subtext of meetings - and speaking up with confidence without dominating the room
- Navigating team conflict, mediating between colleagues, and repairing trust after it breaks
- Leading with emotional maturity: delivering hard news, holding boundaries, and coaching others
- Communicating with confidence under pressure, in person and in writing
- Networking and relationship-building that feels genuine, not transactional
- A full appendix of word-for-word scripts for the workplace conversations people dread most - asking for a raise, pushing back on a decision, addressing credit-stealing, setting boundaries, and more
