Moving from Emotion to Action: Why Emotions Matter in Times of Transition
So often in life, as we have all now personally experienced, change happens. Sometimes we know the change is going to happen and we have a chance to prepare. Such as with a retirement or a planned move. Other times, we do not have much time, if any, to get ready. For example, getting laid off, a company restructure, a sudden illness or death of a loved one.…or a global pandemic.
When change happens, we naturally experience a myriad of emotions. And how we manage our emotions through change will determine how we react or act. If we are looking for work or making a career change and we get stuck in our emotions, then our effectiveness will be negatively impacted. So much so, that we may not be able to progress forward at all.
Using some basic Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) principles, we will explore ways to move from a place of inaction (negative emotion) to action (positive emotion). These are tools which you will find useful when job searching or changing careers as well as other times of transition.
