Working with Emotions, Not Around
Every day at work, emotions are present—whether we acknowledge them or not. From stress in high-stakes meetings to joy in a team win, or frustration when things don’t go as planned, our emotional landscape deeply shapes how we show up, how we relate to others, and how well we work together. That’s why it’s vital to tap into the emotional currents underneath, driving our conversations. The most skilled leaders are able to work with, not around, emotions to drive progress. This insightful and energizing keynote will uncover how key emotions such as the search for meaning, fear, love, grief, and power can elevate wellbeing and performance.
Audience takeaways:
- Recognize and name common emotions in themselves and others in the moment
- Ease the stress that unsaid emotions play in our work lives
- Channel emotions like fear, love, grief, and power to drive progress, instead of serving as invisible barriers
- Empower themselves and those around to bring their full selves in a healthy and supportive way at work

Ready for the Future or Stuck in the Past? Millennials have been condemned as lazy, entitled, disloyal, and disrespectful and needing constant hand-holding. But Crystal Kadakia—a Millennial herself as well as an organizational development consultant and two-time TEDx speaker—shows that not only are these negative stereotypes dead wrong, but each one conceals a positive workplace practice that forward-looking companies must adopt if they are to endure. She illuminates how the advent of digital technology is the crucial root cause of many Millennial behaviors and offers a guide for what our traditional workplace needs to do to attract, engage, and retain modern talent.
