Share

Live Webinar September 20th, 2018 – 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider:  The Corporate Education Group ( REP 1011 )

Leaders’ mindsets affect their emotions, attitudes, reactions, and the ability to focus. All of these greatly impact the productivity of their followers.

More and more research is showing that cultivating mindfulness can improve these areas.

Mindfulness habits also improve both emotional and physical health. mindfulness is characterized by an open, receptive, and nonjudgmental orientation to the present (Martin, 1997).

Psychologically healthy, thriving leaders not only benefit themselves, but they also are critical to employee wellbeing. Recent research indicates that when leaders are stressed, they are less able to support their employees, and this in turn directly raises employees’ stress.

This webinar teaches you to purposefully “prime” yourself to be more adaptable, positive, approachable, and productive using mindfulness to improve your focus and soothe stress.

These techniques can also lead to faster, more effective decision making. This is a time of ever-increasing change, and more data pouring in than we can possibly manage. Our ability to focus well on the most important things is an essential skill for all top leaders.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Increase your ability to focus on what is most important in the moment, instead of being derailed by urgency and other high emotions.
  • Dramatically improve on-the-fly decision making.
  • Use research-based “brain hacks” choose what to focus on better.
  • Use a daily practice to increase one’s wellbeing, health, and “focus muscles.”

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”. ~Charles Darwin

We all manage change in our lives differently: some find it difficult and want to approach matters slowly and methodically, while others love change and embrace it moving full speed ahead.

If you work with a group of people all facing the same change, it’s likely that nobody will manage the situation in the same way, which can lead to conflict.

By understanding change style preferences and harnessing emotional intelligence we can manage and lead others more effectively through change.

Join Janice Gair, (LinkedIn profile) PCC, CPHR and Hayley Hesseln, (LinkedIn profile) PhD, CEC co-founders of EI ADVANTAGE  to explore change style preferences and examine how to harness emotional intelligence to move employees from resistance to resilience.

Webcast Highlights:

  • Enhance knowledge of different change style preferences;
  • Develop an appreciation for change-style diversity;
  • Understand how to harness emotional intelligence to lead others through change;
  • Learn about tools to work more collaboratively through change;
  • Strategies to prevent conflict when undergoing change.
