LEADERSHIP SERIES: Difficult conversations: Managing Emotion Under Pressure

IN PERSON


Tuesday, October 14, 2025
9:00 AM - 12:30 PM (EDT)

Do you control your emotions or do your emotions control your behavior?  We all experience stressors at work, and we choose how to handle situations as they arise.   When faced with difficult situations, our reaction determines the outcome.

 

This class explores practices to assist with self-awareness, self-reflection and self-regulation. We will focus on understanding emotions, how to regulate emotion-driven actions from business environments and how to effectively communicate despite your personal feelings.  

 

By the end of this class, leaders will be able to complete the following:

  • Articulate “why” conversations at work are difficult.
  • Discuss the correlation between emotions, feelings and behavior.
  • Identify and recognize emotional triggers at work.
  • Employ strategies to reduce emotionally driven behavior.
