- Permission To Feel: The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Achieve Well-being and Success
Emotions are a large part of who you are. They affect whether you pay attention or are distracted, if you remember or forget. They influence whether you make good decisions or bad ones, stick with your choices or change your mind. How you feel also impacts your physical health and your ability to build and maintain relationships. We all need skills to recognize and understand our emotions, label and express them, and regulate them to achieve optimum well-being and success at home, school, and in the workplace. In this workshop you’ll learn techniques to understand your feelings and use them wisely.
