March 2012 Program

Emotional Intelligence for Decision Making

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

5:30 p.m. – 8:45 p.m.

Location:  Crowne Plaza Hotel - Downtown Orlando**

Program Description:

Current research shows that when we lose our cool over something, it takes us over four hours to get over it. When we’re stressed, our decision making ability is compromised because the brain is working at survival. This class will teach you how to be aware of those who are experiencing an “emotional hangover” and how to get past it.

• Identify triggers to emotional reactions before they happen
