Emotional wellbeing/Fear Management/Psychological Safety  

Managing our emotions, behaviors, and thoughts is key for not only high performance but for our health and safety at work. Amy will present her 6-stage evidence-based model to show us how to manage ourselves effectively. She will show us the practical tools and techniques to become masters of your wellbeing even when we are out of control of our environment. You will leave these sessions with a new way to think about difficult emotions, a plan of what you want to do, and strategies.  

The ultimate goal is to help you manage your thoughts and emotions, so they don't manage you! Creating psychological safety mindsets is essential for us to manage ourselves effectively as individuals and as collectives at work. We improve our communication, courage, and trust.
