The Resilience Recipe

A Framework for Becoming a Master Emotion Chef

Stress makes people nearly three times as likely to leave their jobs, temporarily impairs strategic thinking, and dulls creative abilities. Burnout, then, is a threat to your bottom line, one that costs the U.S. more than $300 billion a year in absenteeism, turnover, diminished productivity, and medical, legal, and insurance costs.

​

I’m on a mission to change that with The Resilience Recipe - a Framework for Becoming a Master Emotion Chef - a program designed to improve organizational culture through increased emotional granularity, an attribute of emotional intelligence.

​

“Effective management of negative emotions in the workplace may be essential in contexts such as customer/client relationships, organizational change, performance feedback, teamwork, and leader-follower relationships.” - Emotions at work and mental health

​

The course content has been proven to improve:

• Stress management

• Emotion regulation

• Ability to defuse difficult situations

• Ability to find positive takeaways

• Employee well-being 

• Emotional and physical health resulting in less missed workdays

​

The focus of the Framework is to provide small, actionable steps that will improve workplace productivity, communication, connectivity, and reduced employee stress.
