Ep 136 | What Jesus can teach us about being more emotional at work with Jonas Bergvall

You know who’s a good example for us at work? Jesus. Yes, that Jesus.It doesn’t matter if you’re Christian or a believer of any kind. Jesus wore his heart on his sleeve—and that’s something we need to do more of at work.But wait, aren’t we supposed to check out emotions at the office door? Isn’t being emotional a liability as a leader?Well, the guy who inspired the world’s largest religion may beg to differ. He lived in his emotions. He felt angry. Sad. Joyful. Disappointed. Compassionate. Betrayed. And he shared those feelings with his disciples, his Father, even his enemies.Jesus lived fully. And if we want to make a difference in the world with the work we do, we should do the same.This “all in” approach to living is something Jonas Bergvall has been studying for a while. Jonas is a creative soul, with experience in branding, gaming and as an entrepreneur.He wrote a book called “How the World Feels” that explores the idea that life is emotionally constructed. Every room, situation, experience has its own emotional world. And we connect to that world through our own emotions. Even when we think we’re being 100% logical.So what emotional worlds are we creating in our workplaces? Ones that invite people in to live and contribute fully or ones that shut folks down?If you’re not sure, just ask a simple question—what would Jesus do?Welcome to the DesuckifyWork® podcast.
