Why Management Teams Fail to Execute
And What You Can Do About It

We will focus on execution and how tightening this key decision point has potential to dramatically improve gross margins and profitability.

AUSTIN COUNCIL CONNECTION
|
Register today for Austin Council Connection!June 10, 2014 
Paula Fracasso, Professional Business & Life Coach with People Biz, Inc., will present on developing emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is an often misunderstood and misused concept in both the business world and our culture. Emotional intelligence is the ability to relate to emotions in a healthy empowering way.
Many people do not understand our emotions and fall "victim" to thinking emotions are something to control and fear. This leads to unhealthy suppression or an overreaction to the very natural human experience of emotion.
The good news is that people can actively grow their emotional intelligence. There is no limit to the capacity for growing emotionally. Hopefully, this leads to a richer more enjoyable life, the ability to be satisfied and the ability to live in peace regardless of circumstance.
What you will learn from Paula:
- What is emotional intelligence?
- E-Motion - what is it?
- How do we resist this natural intelligence?
- Simple and easy exercises for creating emotional awareness
Join the Women's Business Council - Southwest for this informative workshop followed by a networking happy hour.
