Do you ever feel like you have to hide yourself at your workplace? 

Hide your culture, identity, ethnicity, disability, or personal struggles to fit into the mold of “professionalism”? 

This phenomenon is known as covering, a term popularized by sociologist Erving Goffman to describe how individuals manage stigmatized aspects of their identity.

One of my earliest clients, the CEO of a tech startup, initially dismissed the idea of emotional intelligence as "soft skills" irrelevant to his success. 

Six months later, after implementing my strategies he saw a 40% reduction in team turnover and a significant improvement in outcomes. 

No one is spared from the clutches of stress in modern life. From students to adults, everyone complains of facing some challenge that gives rise to this emotion. 

For working professionals and leaders, the high-stakes environment they work in not only affects their well-being but also their collective workplace wellness. 

Our external worlds are completely chaotic these days. There’s so much to look after and to keep up with. 

That email from your boss, your child’s homework, the light bulb that needed fixing, your car on the verge of a breakdown, that new Instagram trend that you should hop on. 

There is a stark difference between a Boss and a Leader. The latter is an empathetic and intuitive communicator while the former isn’t. 

As a Leadership Psychologist, during my Team Cohesive Workshops, I always encounter the problem of executives failing to communicate clearly.
