Managing Emotions for Success & High Performance in the Workplace

Practical techniques for staying in charge of your emotions at work — stress diagnosed, assertiveness structured, and emotional intelligence applied to relationships.

The programme

Are you in charge of your emotions, or are they in charge of you? Swallowed frustration that erupts as saying too much erodes job performance — and most professionals have never been taught the alternative. This two-day workshop gives participants the tools to turn that around: recognising that you have choices in how you view and manage stress, keeping emotions in perspective, expressing yourself openly and honestly, and using emotional intelligence to build better working relationships. Top-performing companies put everyone through this training, not just those labelled “emotional” — because connection across a team is what produces the interest, enthusiasm and high performance the business is actually after.

What you will do

Separate positive stress from negative stress, and measure your own levels of personal and work-related stress.
Spot the ways you contribute unintentionally to your own workplace stress, including the lifestyle patterns behind it.
Read how others are feeling with mirror listening, and identify why people feel the way they do.
Assert yourself at the right moments, constructing assertive messages with the XYZ technique.
Apply personal mastery to your work life, differentiating the two groups of emotions to know how you feel and why.
Evaluate your emotional debt — and pay it off, tracking feelings across past, present and future.

Who attends

  • Senior leadership teams
  • Front-line to mid-level managers and emerging leaders
  • Sales leaders and sales managers
  • Individual contributors at every level

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Is this workshop only for people labelled “emotional” at work?

No — top-performing companies put everyone through this training, not just those labelled “emotional”, because connection across a team is what produces the interest, enthusiasm and high performance the business is after. It suits senior leadership teams, front-line to mid-level managers, sales leaders and individual contributors at every level.

What practical techniques will I take away?

Over two days you learn to separate positive from negative stress and measure your own levels, to read how others feel with mirror listening, to construct assertive messages with the XYZ technique, and to differentiate the two groups of emotions — then evaluate your emotional debt across past, present and future, and pay it off.
