9. When Work Makes You Angry (and What to Do About It)
Manage episode 502553140 series 3680370
This week’s How to Human is for anyone who’s ever had a deal fall through, a promise broken, or a client leave you seething.
Because let’s be honest — professional doesn’t mean unbothered.
We’re talking about what really happens when work makes you angry, and how to navigate it in a way that protects your boundaries and your reputation. From amygdala hijacks to the psychology of delayed response, this episode gives you real tools you can use — whether you're a startup founder, a corporate leader, or someone whose inbox just pushed them over the edge.
I also share a personal story about a last-minute contract cancellation and how I used behavioural strategy to bounce back stronger.
In this episode:
Why the body reacts so strongly to workplace conflict
5 strategies to regulate your emotions before responding
The difference between suppression and strategic regulation
How to turn anger into clarity and composure
Plus: a big announcement about the How to Hustle podcast launching next week.
Let’s stop pretending that anger doesn’t show up at work — and start learning how to handle it.
