Using Emotions for

Better Conversations

The experience

As professionals, it's easy to put on a mask and hide our true feelings. When we receive criticism or find ourselves in a tough conversation, we may feel like we have little room to authentically experience what we're feeling. But the truth is, our emotions are information and they hint at what we need to succeed.

We’ll explore…

  • identify and normalize emotions that show up

  • powerful questions to decode the feelings

  • thoughtfully evaluate their readiness to respond

  • learn strategies to communicate calmly

  • "Learning meditation practices or general calming techniques is one thing, but having something to utilize in the moment is another."

  • "This helped me see how natural it is to be hit emotionally when we receive criticism. Everyone goes through it but we don't look at it head on."

  • "I appreciated this space. It was important for me to reflect how I can strengthen my approach in providing and receiving feedback at work."

  • "Betty created such a safe and dynamic environment, connecting a group of us across all types of careers to dig deeper.
