When I first discovered the Polyvagal Theory, created by Stephen Porges, a light came on for me illuminating all that was difficult for me to understand. Why, despite many years of practicing mindfulness and somatic movement, expanding my awareness, and working on my emotional intelligence, I still manage from time to time to reach states that are difficult to understand.

Now, it’s my pleasure to invite you to this webinar, which contains a lot of practical information covering movement practice, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and aspects of evolutionary psychology, explaining the puzzle.

Maybe like me, you like to understand things more from the cognitive side, or maybe you’re a manager, Agile Coach, or Scrum Master who deals with relational skills on a daily basis at work and beyond. You know your job and tools for complex processes and team management well, and you know the basics of mindfulness and emotional intelligence, but you know there’s still something missing.

Too few leaders are aware that only a small part of success in the workplace results from traditional intelligence (IQ) and knowledge of work tools, products, or services. One of the most overlooked skills in the work environment is the ability to relate and resonate with others, which is characteristic of successful teams.

This workshop will show you what it takes to skillfully build an environment and the awareness in the workplace that increases wellbeing, clear communication, and productivity.

You will also learn about research-supported concepts and practices that will help you build conscious relationships within and outside your work.

We will draw on and support our exploration with research on evolutionary psychology, Open Floor embodied resources, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence.
