The content of this article is easy to read and engaging. It gives strategies that would be helpful if used regularly by the reader. I would have liked to see more specific pointers on how to manage emotions at work, in order to make practicing them easier.
The words used in the last sentence sounded a bit strong to me. I feel it may help to replace the sentence with something like ?managing emotional responses can help promote a safe and healthy working environment?. This will help ensure that no one feels labelled or blamed in case they\'ve responded in unhealthy ways in the past.
