Description
Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others. Developing strong emotional intelligence improves all interactions while benefitting our mental well-being and our relationships.
Do you often find yourself repeating destructive thought patterns, like comparing yourself to others, playing out worst-case scenarios, or fixating on how you should be better? Do you ever notice yourself acting with great maturity and wisdom in some situations, and then just an hour or day later find yourself defensive, reactive, or judgmental?
In this mindfulness-based workshop, Kelly Werner shares the latest neuroscience and psychology findings on emotional intelligence and leads experiential exercises focused on self-awareness, self-management, and productive conversation. Kelly provides tools to shift from a reactive, or auto-pilot mode, to a wiser more mature version of yourself. This shift allows you to relate to yourself and others in more productive ways, improving your personal and professional relationships. Participants walk away with useful skills to put into practice right away.
Kelly Werner, PhD is deeply committed to helping people thrive in their personal and professional lives. Currently, she works as an executive coach and psychologist, as a mindfulness and emotional intelligence group trainer through a program founded at Google, and is the creator of the authentic conversation game Tell Me…. Her applied work is informed by her PhD in clinical psychology from UC Berkeley, and her past post-doctoral research in clinical behavioral-neuroscience at Stanford. Her goal is to guide people to reset and re-center in order to fully create, produce, love and flourish.
