Course Description

Feeling Drained by Emotional Employees in the Workplace? 🤔
Is it the Leader’s Role to Offer Unwavering Support? 🌟

Navigating the emotional terrains of your team isn’t easy. When employees overshare, seek continuous affirmation, or struggle with criticism, it’s tempting to sidestep the issue to avoid discomfort. But turning a blind eye or acting out of fear only perpetuates the behavior. Addressing emotional needs directly is paramount.

Leaders and Managers must harness emotional intelligence to effectively guide emotionally charged employees, especially when their behavior dampens team spirit and hinders productivity.

Join Bob Churilla, a distinguished Ph.D. in Conflict Resolution and Organizational Development, in an insightful webinar. Dive into:

  • Mastering emotional intelligence and techniques to support employees grappling with their emotions.
  • Exploring the root causes of intense emotions and their links to potential mental health concerns.
  • Effective communication strategies for engaging with emotionally expressive employees.
  • The art of active listening, paraphrasing, asking the right questions, and reframing – to foster healthier interactions.
  • Recognizing potential violence threats and ensuring a safe, harmonious workplace
