About the Session:

Methodology Synopsis

The Human Element® is a comprehensive approach for increasing organizational performance by increasing personal awareness and creating an atmosphere in which people can solve problems.

The Human Element isn’t a tool as much as it is a transformative process. It is a complete approach to organizational development based on some very simple concepts: truth, choice, and awareness.

The Human Element is a transformative experience and uses an integrated set of psychometrics to address interpersonal issues in the organization. The experiential aspect of the methodology provides the basis for individuals and teams to change their ways of working together.

 Program Synopsis

Emotions and Defensiveness In The Workplace - Emotions have a huge impact in the workplace. Our emotions can create passion and drive resulting in great achievement, or at times can derail our best-laid plans. This impact becomes more and more magnified at higher levels. When leaders fail to manage emotions effectively, the result can be organizational chaos.

The ability to manage our emotions depends not only on being aware of our emotions, but also understanding what triggers them, and how they connect to our behavior. By understanding the workings of emotions in the workplace, we are better able to perform to our full capacity, make teams most effective, lead better, resolve conflict, respond to changing circumstances, and innovate.

 In this experiential session, we will use a model called FIRO® theory to understand how underlying emotions are tied to behavior and how and why we become defensive and resistant. Understanding and working with emotions and defenses is crucial for high performance. Yet, this is also the area that holds the most promise for real, lasting behavioral change.

 

 

Who Should Attend:

We welcome all workplace learning and organizational development professionals, including senior learning leaders. This is an exceptional learning opportunity, so invite your manager, colleagues, and/or clients to also attend.
