Leadership

 

Leadership does not have one definition; it has a million – But you always know good leadership when you see it. The best leaders form relationships with their colleagues, connections that enable them to develop and support those around them. Emotional and social intelligence drives these relationships – the best news is that we can improve our emotional and social intelligence! Learning how to develop strong connections, influence others effectively, negotiate, and coach are the best ways to advance your leadership potential.

Negotiation

 

Negotiations are something that we engage in every day, yet many of us fear them – often because we don’t realize negotiations occur all of the time. Learning how to prepare for negotiations, both analytically and psychologically, does more than allow us to get better deals. Understanding negotiations, how to prepare, and how people behave during them allows us to resolve conflicts, create win-win solutions, and develop good relationships where once competition may have ruled.

Coaching

 

Based on cutting edge research, I have developed a coaching model that incorporates critical elements of the organization, relationship, and interpersonal behaviors. Discovery and directive skill sets equip you to engage in any coaching conversation. Learning and applying the AEN coaching model enables you to establish successful coaching relationships, draw out unknown concerns, open doors to new possibilities, and provide the support your colleagues need to continuously develop and grow.

Resiliency

 

The explosion of interest in resilience is justified. As a researcher and professor, I have studied, trained, and coached resilience skills to hundreds of professionals, thus helping people develop robust and healthy cognitive, behavioral, and emotional habits. My research in work stress indicates that stress is unavoidable. Learning how to cope and even thrive in stressful situations can make the difference between success and failure, and more importantly, brings more joy into our lives.
