Topic: Everything You've Learned About Emotion Is Tragically Incorrect: Implications for OD Professionals

There are two paradigms through which we can interpret our emotions. When interpreted through the “circumstantial” paradigm, so-called “negative” emotions such as anger, anxiety, and frustration lead to stress, bad moods, irrational decisions, and inappropriate behavior. But, when these same emotions are interpreted through the “effectiveness” paradigm, they raise engagement, improve decision-making, and increase performance. Tragically, most of us have been trained to interpret most of our emotions through the “circumstantial” paradigm.

During this interactive 90-minute webinar, you’ll:

1. Learn a revolutionary new theory of emotion (the “effectiveness” paradigm)
2. Use this new theory to resolve a so-called “negative” emotion
3. Discuss the implications of this new theory for:

• Emotional Intelligence

• Leadership Development

• Team Building

• Soft/Behavioral Skills Training

• Employee Wellness

• Employee Engagement

• Change Management

You’ll emerge from this webinar with a list of Stop/Start/Continues you can apply to your organization.
