In the workplace many develop and 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.
