Speaker: Lisa Welsher, Right Process
Monday, March 7, 1:45 pm - 2:45 pm
With the recent advancements made in neuroscience, discoveries have been made that shed new light on emotions – their purpose, their value, and the extraordinary benefits that can be derived from working with them rather than working against them. But despite the fact that emotions are a part of everyday corporate life – affecting areas such as productivity, decision making, the quality of relationships, employee retention and day-to-day operations – few professionals actually have a strong foundation of emotional awareness. Albeit a wide diversion from business continuity, disaster recovery and risk management this talk is about emotions – the neuroscience behind them, the purpose they serve and the impact they have on the productivity of each and every one of us.
Participants attending this highly interactive session will learn how scientific research is revealing how emotions are behind every decision we make. They influence the jobs we accept, the risks we take, the people we hire and those we fire. Emotions are the driving force behind what we say and what we do.
Participants will also receive a process workflow depicting the multi-step process for understanding emotions which helps people to make better decisions, navigate life with greater agility, conserve wasted energy, and significantly improve interpersonal relationships across all areas of life!
Lisa Welsher has close to 30 years of experience working with leading companies such as Merck & Company, Dow Jones, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Sharp Electronics, Goldman Sachs, MedStar Health, New York University and other Fortune 100 companies.
After working primarily in the Information Technology sector doing system implementations, process engineering and project management Lisa has come to understand from first-hand experience that continuous process improvements are one thing. Technology automation is another. But a team of people who know how to work with their emotions rather than working against them is an absolute game changer when it comes to productivity and performance.
Lisa is not a psychologist nor is she a therapist. She is a management consultant who has a successful track record of presenting information in meaningful and entertaining ways! Empowered by Emotions is the result of her focused skills, resources, knowledge and creativity into the development of a series of educational workshops that focus on emotions – their purpose, their value and the extraordinary benefits that can be derived from working with them rather than working against them.
