Building Confidence & Shifting Your Emotional State

(Webinar)

Many people believe that their emotional state is entirely dictated by external factors over which they have no control. For example, how often do we hear people say, ‘You make me angry/happy/sad’? In the workplace many develop unconscious strategies that affect their emotional state and significantly affect their performance; typical examples include making telephone calls – particularly cold calls – and presenting or speaking in public.

This empowering session shows delegates how to take control of their emotional state, shifting to the best possible state to achieve highly successful outcomes at work and at home.
