Gainesville, Virginia Oct 12, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - VIP Innovations invites success-minded professionals to get emotional and participate in an introductory webinar entitled The New Theory of Constructed Emotions, featuring cognitive neuroscientist Irena O’Brien, PhD Eva Jenkins, founder of VIP Innovations, provider of career transition coaching services, based in Haymarket, VA, has participated in O’Brien’s, Neuroscience School and knows from personal experience the value of O’Brien’s information. “As part of being an effective career coach, I focus on helping my clients acquire excellent emotional intelligence skills, whether it's around their work, their relationships, or their stress,” says Jenkins.
Unburden Yourself from Emotional Doubt
Some people consider emotions to be a burden, but to succeed in today’s work environment, “It’s important to understand our emotions, control our reactions, and recognize how our emotions affect our actions and the actions of others,” says Daniel Goleman, author of Working with Emotional Intelligence. “When we manage our emotions, we’re better able to handle the changes and challenges all jobs bring, such as adjusting to a new boss or co-worker, working on a team, or handling a conflict with a co-worker or customer.”
The World Economic Forum's Job Report identified that by 2020, "social skills—such as persuasion, emotional intelligence and teaching others—will be in higher demand across industries than narrow technical skills." Dr O’Brien has immersed herself in the world of psychology social skills, and neuroscience for over 20 years. Her interests focus on how lifestyle choices impact brain structure and function…and how brain structure and function affect mood and cognitive functioning as we age.
Share Ground-Breaking Research
In addition to Dr O'Brien's insights, participants will gain access to the most updated information available relating to “How Emotions are Made” based on the work of Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD, a University Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, with appointments at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Her latest book on How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain, introduced the new theory of how the brain constructs emotions.
Dr Barrett’s groundbreaking research overturns the widely held belief that emotions are housed in different parts of the brain and are universally expressed and recognized. Instead, she has shown that emotion is constructed at the moment, by core systems that interact across the whole brain, aided by a lifetime of learning. The repercussions of her findings are already shaking the foundations not only of psychology, but also of medicine, the legal system, child-rearing, meditation, and even airport security!
Embrace & Control Your Emotions to Win
We construct our experience and perception of emotion from the bodily sensations our brain receives, using our internal model of the world. Emotion does not reside in a specific brain region. Rather, constructing emotion is a whole brain process. What does this mean to you? Everything! The facts of this webinar demonstrate that you can play a much a more powerful role in managing your emotional life than you ever thought possible. All you have to do is learn the process.
Managing your emotions in the workplace is more important today than it ever has been because today’s workplace is a more challenging environment than it’s ever been. Change is inevitable and the changes keep on coming due to everything from reorganizations and mergers to transfers and individual job changes. Most of us are tasked with juggling multiple priorities, all too often with limited resources. Adding to the challenge is the most diverse workforce in human history with colleagues of people of different ages, backgrounds, nationalities, and beliefs working together.
Change is a catalyst for emotions, often the worst kind. When you use have emotional mastery, however, you can more effectively handle change and overcome the negativity that is stirred up in stressful situations such as adjusting to a new boss or co-worker, working on a team, or handling a conflict with a colleague or customer.
Bring Your Emotions to Work Day, Every Day
It’s time to rewire your thoughts about emotions and see them for the valuable business asset they are. Researcher Sigal Barsade, co-author of a study entitled, “The Ripple Effect: Emotional Contagion and its Influence on Group Behavior, observes, “You bring your brain to work. You bring your emotions to work. Feelings drive performance. Emotions often have a positive impact at work.”
Emotional management isn’t a walk in the park. Learning to manage our most challenging emotions takes a bit of effort, but the payoff is big…especially for the long term. When you have the capacity to deal with problems before they become overwhelming, you are a more effective team member (or leader). Your sense of control, power, mastery, and effectiveness soar, both at work and in your personal life.
