Putting Emotion Back in Business | Jenny Thomas | TEDxTelford

Описание: 20 years in the corporate space trained Jenny to ‘take emotion out of business’ and leave her personal life outside the office; taught her how not to be human…with emotion, which she then taught to others. Jenny tells us why we need to put emotion back in business and cultivate positive emotions like love, kindness & compassion in order for businesses to put their people first. It’s only when people are the priority over profit and are treated as human beings, rather than numbers on a spreadsheet, that businesses can become profitable again. I love exploring and have been lucky enough to get to Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA and a lot of Europe and I have a yearning to get to Patagonia, Croatia and Nepal to feed my passion for hiking in mountainous terrain. I used to play netball where I tore both calf muscles (not at the same time!) and smoked 20+ cigarettes a day, making climbing Mt Snowdon last year a massive achievement for me.

I’ve been privileged to work with and learn from some inspiring and not so inspiring people in the corporate space. I had a 20 year successful marketing career and I chose to leave it all behind me, change my life and do something else. Now I’m a Confidence & Career Coach on a mission to change the way we do business - to help the corporate space become one where people come first.

It’s only when people are the priority over profit and are treated as human beings, rather than numbers on a spreadsheet, that businesses can become profitable again.
