Subtle and strong emotions arise in business and research settings, in classrooms, and in general in dialogue with others. However, as part of our work in academia or business we are expected to be rational; emotions are not acknowledged or addressed in meaningful ways. Furthermore, faculty and business leaders' emotional states influence students' and employees' learning effectiveness and performance.
Research tells us that leaders' emotions and self-awareness are important in relationships, motivation, learning, performance, and are at the root of what we value and experience. Therefore, it behooves us faculty and business leaders to learn how to work with our inner experience and emotions by developing our self-awareness individually and in group settings.
The purpose and expected outcome of this PDW is to advance participants' skill in developing self-awareness and working with emotions. This is achieved by modelling behavior in a safe group setting, the collective assisting participants in managing emotion laden situations in academic life. Through demonstrations of vulnerability around our own emotional work, the panelists encourage participants to delve into an emotional space. We hope that developing greater self-awareness and modelling this in the classrooms will influence students to apply it as leaders, thereby improving the lives of students now, with a trickle-down effect to the people that they will work with in their future organizations.
This PDW has been conducted for the last two years and has been well received. No registration is required, but we encourage you to send a line of interest to payalk1@gmail.com
