Most people believe their boss, workload or difficult colleagues are causing their anger. But what if that's not actually true? In this episode, Alastair explains what's really driving workplace anger - and how to take back control without changing jobs.
If you've ever left work frustrated, snapped at a colleague, dreaded another meeting, or carried workplace stress home to your family, you're not alone. Workplace anger is far more common than most people realise, but it doesn't have to control your day or your relationships.
In this episode, you'll learn three practical anger management strategies you can use immediately at work. You'll discover why taking a simple 10-second pause interrupts emotional reactions before they become outbursts, how reframing your thinking changes the way you respond to difficult colleagues and demanding managers, and why clear communication is one of the most powerful tools for preventing unnecessary workplace conflict.
Alastair also revisits the DESC communication model and explains how using "I" statements can help you express concerns professionally without creating defensiveness or resentment. Through the story of Tom, you'll see how changing your thinking—not your workplace—can dramatically improve your confidence, relationships, and ability to stay calm under pressure.
The Anger Secrets Podcast helps men and women master anger management, improve healthy conflict resolution, strengthen emotional regulation, and build calmer, happier relationships at work and at home.
