WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT EMOTIONAL CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT TOOLS

"It is of utmost importance to have the right amount of emotional tools at the workplace. It is the place we spend much of our lives, and the need to be secure and balanced at work sets the stage for the remainder of our time away from the workplace. Most important in my line of work is empathy, understanding, compassion, thick skin, the ability to disassociate yourself from the task that must be performed and keeping a good sense of humor." Dan Blasdel, Franklin County Coroner, Pasco, Washington.
