The pursuit of an “emotion-free workplace” undermines that which makes us human: our feelings, including their influence on everyday performance. Each of us, consciously or not, experiences hundreds of emotions each day from the moment we enter work to the time we leave. Imagining that our success in the workplace requires us to deny the existence of emotions is no more realistic than imagining a driver that can reach her destination by ignoring the weather, traffic, and time of day. In this session, you will:

• Learn about emotion science and the skills of emotional intelligence and how to develop emotion skills
• Understand the five important areas that emotions impact our daily work lives
• Become attuned to how you can optimize performance by unlocking the power of emotions
