It makes a huge difference in your performance, your relationships and your overall happiness. All of us experience those moments on the job when unwanted emotions intensify. You may get upset with colleagues who don’t do their jobs. Or get frustrated with bosses who give you more work than you think you can handle. Or get angry with yourself because you didn’t stand up to a pushy co-worker.

Emotions like these are normal. It’s what you do with them that can lead to problems—at work and at home. Losing your temper, overreacting and getting stressed out can get in the way of positive relationships—and profoundly affect your productivity and well-being.

This exciting new program will teach you an amazing, systematic process for developing “emotional self-control.” You’ll gain a tremendous amount of insight into disruptive emotions and impulses that make you feel out of control and helpless, and learn how to rein them in. The tools and strategies you’ll learn to use will minimize daily work stressors, improve your performance, earn you greater respect—and make your life more fulfilling and enjoyable.
