It was a fantastic learning experience. Key learnings included :
1) Why our emotions & feelings matter in creating a successful life & fantastic relationships at home and in the workplace.
2) What is Resonant leadership and how resonant leaders help in making a huge difference in how companies and employees perform.
3) Identifying Negative Emotional Attractor (NEA) & creating Positive Emotional Attractor (PEA). And how it impacts us neurologically (at the brain level).
4) How coaching with compassion & PEA is the way to coach.
5) Creating a Personal Vision (Ideal Self).
6) What helps and hinders one's path to the Ideal Self or to success.
Looking forward to the next module : Women in Leadership.
