Content
When an organism’s needs are met, it becomes resilient in the face of challenges and is more likely to thrive. This is a fact of nature and is fundamentally true for human beings.
During this interactive workshop, delegates explore the 12 emotional needs and 8 innate resources developed through billions of years of life. With this understanding, delegates can focus their resources on strong choices to build a culture that meets needs for thriving.
Through this foundational understanding, all behaviour can be better understood
Thanks to the latest breakthroughs in evolutionary neurobiology and psychology, delegates will learn why unmet needs generate emotions that drive unhelpful behaviours. Armed with common-sense emotional intelligence, delegates will be empowered to find rewarding options, no matter how challenging their circumstances.
