Have you ever regretted saying the wrong thing…

We’ve all had situations in our life where we’ve been completely hijacked by our emotions…
Or had a ‘gut-punch’ moment that took us by surprise… and left us reeling.
When that happens, we’re definitely not at our best!
When we’re hijacked by our emotions it can feel like we’re out of control and being swept along for the ride.
But you don’t have to be held hostage by your emotions and the automated mechanics of your brain and physiology.
There are so many practical and simple things you can do to reclaim your personal power!
All Leaders need a high level of Emotional Self Mastery…
and anyone can learn this invaluable skill!
The idea that our emotions can be controlled started to emerge as a field of study in the early 1960s and since then there have been thousands of studies that have helped us understand how our brains and emotions work and how we can take charge.
You CAN Master your Emotions!
But to do this you need to understand your Brain (and how it works)…
and “re-wire” it.
In this course, Sandra Wood from Great Managers will show you How to:
Understand and take back the control of the system you’ve got to work with – which is your brain and physiology
Respond in the moment in an emotionally intelligent way when you’re triggered or stressed, (as you will be in life) instead of reacting on autopilot
Build your Emotional capability in a long-term way so you can reach a level of Mastery
When this skill is low or missing we see people who:
Are oblivious to their own or others’ feelings – they might behave insensitively or think it’s ok to bring whatever ‘mood’ they’re in to work & spray this all over others
Have poor coping skills – they don’t know how to deal with emotion, so they might avoid or walk away from things, or have emotional outbursts – the smallest thing can set them off. Emotions can seem overblown and out of control.
Tend to blame others for their problems – they’re always the victim, they hold grudges and won’t let go of things
Get triggered easily, or offended easily – they might be argumentative and always have to be right, or they behave in a negative and abrupt way with others
Get stressed easily and worry a lot
Struggle building relationships and have poor social skills. They often feel like no one understands them.
When this Emotional Mastery skill is well developed we see people who:
Can stay cool and calm even under pressure
Understand the importance of emotion and can express their emotions skilfully and authentically
Can recover quickly when they’ve been triggered or stressed
Build relationships based on trust and respect and seem to do so with ease. People feel safe with them.
Set goals and stick with them
Control urges to overindulge in things that could damage their wellbeing
