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.
