OBIETTIVI FORMATIVI

The main goal of the course is to learn how to successfully deal with professional challenges, emotions and relationships, overcoming the main obstacle to professional success: the lack of emotional maturityand the lack of adequate social skills.

• Managing feelings and emotional reactions
• Adopting and maintaining a positive attitude under stress
• Making sound and fearless decisions in line with own’s values

MODALITA' DIDATTICHE

Emotional and social competences are acquired through a
progressive assimilation of a previous cognition.
These competences cannot be retained by sheer memorisation.
Assimilating the cognitive understanding of own’s emotional and
social patterns requires an introspective work - like a mirror pointed
inwards - that is unfolded over each class and is expected to be
practiced between classes.
Classes are interactive and participative.

ALTRE INFORMAZIONI

Eventually companies and organisations spend money, time and resources to manage emotional issues.
In fact, the lack of competences to handle one’s emotions, professional challenges and interpersonal relationships - and not the lack of technical expertise - is proven to be the main hindrance to long-term professional success as well as the main cause of loss of motivation and interest, lack of work team, bad environment and conflicts at the workplace, burnouts, sick leaves, resignations anddismissals.
