We are happy to announce the release of the first Italian edition of Susan David’s bestseller Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Emotional Agility. Don’t Get Stuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Life and Work<\/em>, whose preface was edited by Diego Ingrassia, Master Trainer of Paul Ekman International<\/em> and reference point in Italy in Emotional Behavioural Analysis and Non-Verbal Communication.<\/p>\n

The author offers us a new perspective that valorises so-called ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ emotions.<\/p>\n

Emotional agility<\/em> consists precisely in the ability to become aware of all our emotions, in order to learn to accept them and use the most appropriate strategies to better manage challenges.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it has been shown that attempting to minimise or ignore emotions and thoughts only serves to amplify them.<\/p>\n

Frequent clich\u00e9s within the working environment state that emotions should not influence our decisions and that a leader, to be such, must be able to distance himself from feelings: the idea that managers must always show strength and transmit enthusiasm to their employees, avoiding any emotion deemed inappropriate, goes against the biology of the human being.<\/p>\n

The motivations for all our decisions are generated by an emotional process, which we try to rationalise only after the decision has been made.<\/p>\n

All emotions are actually adaptive responses designed to anticipate and solve problems.<\/p>\n

Susan Davis shows us that the conflicts and problems faced by leaders arise when they allow themselves to be overwhelmed by emotions and thoughts unconsciously.<\/p>\n

In both cases, leaders devote too much attention to their ‘internal chatter’, and thus waste important cognitive and emotional resources that could be better utilised. <\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Emotional Agility helps people relieve stress, reduce errors, be more innovative, and improve work performance. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone can improve their Emotional Agility through a method<\/a> that allows us to apply certain tools on an ongoing basis to improve our Emotional Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first three steps we recommend you take are:<\/p>\n
