Master Your Emotions: Overcome Negativity, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work & Life

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your feelings? Have you ever responded emotionally and almost instantly regretted it? Have you ever wished you could just turn off your feelings for a second? You’re not alone. 

The workplace is full of potential emotional stressors, interpersonal conflict, difficult and complex decisions, and setbacks are bound to happen. As leaders, it is vital that we understand emotions and their triggers in order to manage them effectively. 

In this day-long workshop, learn how to understand emotions and practical techniques to handle them to improve decision making, leadership, and resilience to bounce back from setbacks and grow personally and professionally. 

By the end of the workshop, you will learn:

• Where emotions come from, what is their purpose, and how they work - from a biological and nature perspective.
• The different types of feelings, and the different ways we relate and respond to them.
• Your current emotional regulation strategy, and how it is helping/harming your ability to handle your feelings effectively.
• How to respond to strong feelings and emotions effectively. How to calm yourself down and respond in the moment instead of giving in to impulses.
• How to use emotions to live your life to the fullest and thrive personally and professionally.
