Emotions, and the actions they inspire, have a tremendous impact on the success or failure of any endeavor. Navigating this internal landscape can be tricky, but harnessing these powerful human aspects opens a door to peak performance, increased capacity, higher morale, and motivation in the workforce.
Recent studies suggest that 75% of the time careers get knocked off track, because leaders lack crucial emotional competencies. They can't deal effectively with interpersonal problems. They can't guide teams through conflict and turbulence, and they can't adapt to change, or gain trust.
While supervisors can wish that their employees would just leave their personal feelings at home, that is not going to happen. Emotions are actually a valuable resource that leaders can use to keep their team energized and operating optimally, while keeping their own career momentum moving in the right direction.
Join John Zulli for this insightful and empowering workshop, and learn to harness emotional forces like passion, resilience, and optimism to overcome inertia, resistance, and negativity.
Understanding the value of emotions is important. Having the skills to harness them is power.
Core Concepts:
· Harnessing the Power of Impulse Control.
· Understanding the Value of Emotional Intelligence.
· The 6 Traits of All Emotionally Intelligent Leaders.
· The Role of E.I. and Managing Change.
· Recognizing and Interacting with Different Communication Styles.
· How Emotions Can Help You Make Better Decisions.
· How to Resist the Negative Influence of Others.
· Establishing Ideal Performance Environments.
· Understanding Emotional Triggers.
· Energizing Productivity through Emotion.
· Dealing With Conflict Using E.I.
· And Much More.
Who Can Benefit?
Everyone in the workplace has emotions so this course is appropriate for all levels.

We brought in John to work with work with our customer facing teams. It was during the pandemic and a soul crushing week of wildfire smoke in the Bay Area. John’s workshop was a huge boost to our entire staff, helping them understand themselves better and giving them tools to help manage the stress and anxiety of the times. We have had him back several other times to train on other topics and he has always been exceptionally well received.

This program was very special because our teams rarely get a chance to come together for a conference. We wanted a speaker who would inspire and empower our people but offer more than fluff. John not only energized everyone; he gave us practical techniques to bring out our best. No one expected Dr. Zulli to be so entertaining. The program was a complete success.

Because our members in retail and delivery services are facing increasing violence we asked Dr. Zulli to conduct a series of training. He took the time to investigate what our people are up against and created a program that fit their needs exactly. We were so impressed with his information and teaching style that we asked him to be a speaker at our Southern California Stewards Conference this year.
