This 1-day clinic explores the links between EI and learning and equips you with knowledge, tools and learning strategies to apply EI in the classroom context .

The cost of toxic emotions at work is often invisible but they’re like toxic time bombs. Not only do they foster resentments, resignations and absenteeism, toxic emotions poison our sense of purpose, rob us of resilience and disrupt our focus and flow at work. They leave us stressed, emotionally exhausted or plain frustrated, and they pose a serious health threat - just as if they were real, physical bio-hazards. Even if some level of toxicity is an unavoidable fact of workplace life, those who want to stay healthy need to learn how to handle it better – and contain outbreaks in the first place. And this seminar will show you how… Handling Toxic Emotions at Work is a 1-day interactive seminar on stress-survival skills in hazardous work cultures. It's an extension to our 2-day Dealing with Difficult Discussions clinic (though that is not a pre-requisite).
