Managing moods at work

Your situation

Does your team look weighed down by the work in front of them? Are they resentful. Anxious. Resigned. Restructuring, cutbacks, or personal setbacks left lingering resistance and pessimism.

Reflecting on your own experience, do you feel excited and open to the opportunities ahead, or powerless and under pressure?

Do you think it’s possible that your most basic experience of your situation could change?

So often, we take our moods as a given. We think moods are as uncontrollable as the weather.

The truth is that, with practice, we can see our moods as a posture or stance, and one that we can learn to change.

Our mood frames which actions are available to us. When we fall into attitudes of pessimism and resignation, our sense of agency diminishes. When we elevate our mood, our sense of possibilities opens up.

Even under pressure, we can be agents of positive change.

“We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realise” – Thich Nhat Hanh

What you’ll gain

Through this workshop, you’ll gain control over your state of mind, and deeper empathy for those around you. With greater control over your mood, you can shift out of reactive mode and feel equal to whatever situation confronts you, even experience mastery.

Managing moods also enhances your relationships. Whether you’re connecting with colleagues or engaging stakeholders, you’ll understand where they’re coming from. You can decode the ‘subtext’ to build immediate and lasting rapport.

This is not about forcing emotional states. It’s about bringing people to a point of making a conscious choice about how they respond.

In this half-day workshop, you’ll gain the ability to:

• Recognise a greater range of moods and emotions in yourself and others
• Shift easily between moods to be more effective
• Be more influential as a communicator
• Feel less stressed and enjoy work more
