But success doesn't depend on rejecting these emotions — we can thrive because of them. This was recorded live on May 14, 2020. To explore these intense emotions and their impact on our jobs and careers, HBR’s Amy Gallo sat down with Morra Aarons-Mele, host of the HBR podcast "The Anxious Achiever" and author of the Big Idea feature "Leading Through Anxiety." They discussed the upsides and downsides of these feelings and how to cope with them at work.
