#StayConnectedEsade: "Motivating Others to Learn and Change"

Growing and developing is a major driving force in our quest to help others, make a difference and contribute to a better organization and society. Coaches, as a class of people who help others establish a deep emotional connection with others called resonance, whether teacher-student, professor-student, doctor-patient, nurse-patient, coach-coachee, mentor-protégé, manager-subordinate, and likely parent-child and spouse/partner to spouse/partner. They are literally, in tune with clients. Their own levels of emotional intelligence allow them to create and nurture these resonant relationships. They use their EI on the path through mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness. 

These experiences of mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness are essential to renewal of the human organism at the neurological, hormonal, emotional, and behavioral levels. Based on decades of research into emotional intelligence competencies and longitudinal studies in their development, Professor Richard Boyatzis will lead the audience through examples of how coaching with compassion (i.e., coaching a person to the PEA, their vision and values) is key to leadership development and more resonant relationships. He will describe recent fMRI studies on coaching to the Positive Emotional Attractor (PEA) versus the Negative Emotional Attractor (NEA), as well as recent doctor-patient studies showing that arousal of the PEA increased treatment adherence for Type II Diabetics.  He will explain why it is central to neuro-endocrine renewal in the human body (which is the only antidote to the ravages of chronic stress).
