Today we have more intense emotions and a sense of overwhelm, causing all of us stress. Leaders are dealing with so much more than they have in the past. A study on stress in America tells us that 47% of people are experiencing Anxiety, 44% are sad, 39% are angry, while 75% of us feel we could use more emotional support. For much of that support, they are turning to their leaders, who now need more counseling and coaching skills. What are they and we to do with this abundance of emotions and feelings?
Drs. Greenberg and Nadler will take a deeper look at how you manage these feelings. In our Emotional Brilliance book, we presented a model of dealing with them called NAME. Notice and Name, Accept, Manage, and Express. We will look at the M for Manage: managing your thoughts and actions, which will help regulate these feelings. What is causing the most stress today, according to a recent American Psychological Association study, is:
Inflation (e.g., gas prices, energy bills, grocery costs): 87%
Supply chain issues: 81%
Global uncertainty: 81%
Potential retaliation from Russia (e.g., cyberattacks, nuclear threats): 80%
Russian invasion of Ukraine: 80%
