Heart and Mind: Developing EQ through reflective practices. Self-Reflecting Journaling!

Do you want to be outstanding as a leader?
Do you want to bring your best self to your work?
Do you want to continue to advance in your career as a leader?

Self-Reflection is the hallmark of developing self-knowing, the foundational element of emotional intelligence.  Developing a consistent reflective practice cultivates a profound inner wisdom characteristic of great leaders.

Most leaders struggle with finding time to be reflective.  They either live in “task, reactive” mode in response to competing priorities or mistakenly confuse rumination for self-reflection.

Journaling is only one of the highly effective self-reflection tools that builds emotional intelligence. Making time for self-reflection exercises and journaling is an act of leadership development. We all have the internal wisdom to learn and adapt.  Not all of us have access to what we think, feel, and want.   We will explore what self-reflective practices might look like for a busy professional wanting to grow in leadership.

Exploration of the internal emotional landscape is the basis of discovery for this offering.  This series explores the internal emotional patterns leaders experience that make them highly effective or woefully ineffective and emotionally exhausted.  Small, short reflective practices calm the brain allowing a leader to make better decisions with intention and focus.

Each session includes a short presentation regarding various aspects of emotional intelligence to set the context for the exercises.  Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences or reactions to the reflection prompts, yet participation is voluntary.  The sessions are virtual and will not be recorded.

There is an option to purchase all sessions or only one, chosen session.
