Wassili Zafiris

Leadership requires a vision and the ability to inspire people to follow. Two fundamental skills that come from the same source.

Who would have thought that this source is: feeling?

In this program, Wassili will show you how:

• Feelings are key to understanding and motivating people
• New neuroscience is changing the psychological paradigm of emotions
• This changes the way we lead others
• You can be a visionary by focusing on what you feel

Highlights:

• Learn about emotional regulation and its importance for leadership, work, and life
• Know how the emotional brain creates emotions
• Understand the decision cycle
• Distinguish ‘feelings’ versus ‘emotions’
• Understanding how internal processing influences perception
• Distinguishing ‘vision’ versus ‘prediction’
• Learn how a ‘closed game’ is counterproductive for envisioning
• Discover how to really create vision

Use the knowledge of the emotional brain to enhance your impact

This program is based on RETaC. Relation Emotion Therapy and Coaching is a new method based on the latest neuroscience about how our brain creates emotions.

RETaC will help you understand deep patterns of behavior and how to influence them. With RETaC you will learn how to deal with inner and outer resistance and how the decision cycle determines our behavior. You will discover how our feelings determine our envisioning abilities.
