In this session, we'll explore what your people are really feeling at work. And how leaders, managers and individuals can better manage their own emotions - then help others to do the same.

By the close of the session you will:

  • Understand how core emotions help or hinder performance
  • Identify how you and others can develop emotional literacy
  • Recognise how managing emotions can fuel business outcomes
