Welcome to Emotions at Work! My name is Laura and I am an Emotional Intelligence Coach who is passionate about helping people reach their full potential by developing their emotional intelligence (EI) skills. My approach is rooted in my Ph.D. research in behavioral economics, which shows that soft skills such as listening, empathy, and problem-solving (among others), can provide people with a competitive advantage in life and the workplace.
As an experienced coach, in-house trainer, and keynote speaker (in both English and Spanish), I am committed to sharing my techniques on how to unblock your outdated ‘mental models’ by enhancing your EI skills. Over the years I have witnessed clients’ lives transform as they’ve learned how to: manage their emotions effectively, be more assertive in their communication, develop greater resilience, adapt to change, and engage in more meaningful personal interactions with others.
So how does this apply to you?
On the blog, I’ll share useful tips and information to help you begin the process of identifying your current mental model and assess whether or not it is the most effective mindset for you to have in our ever-changing world.
I’ll also reveal easy-to-use, practical tips to help you learn ways to shift your mental model, make your communication more effective and assertive, learn techniques to deal with resilience and change, strengthen your interactions with others, and unlock your potential.
Perhaps you’ve spent years with your nose to the grindstone, outperforming your colleagues and competing against yourself, only to find a sense of dissatisfaction and personal/professional unhappiness?
Or maybe you recognize you’ve become inflexible to change and want to learn to let go of what you can’t control with a sense of acceptance and inner peace?
Maybe you’re tired of having a glass-half-empty mentality and want to believe in possibilities, or maybe you’ve fallen down the rabbit-hole of toxic-positivity and want to find a more balanced outlook on life?
No matter what your current mental model is, I’m confident in my ability to help you reach the next level by sharing the tools to help you become more emotionally intelligent and self-aware. For an interactive example of how to practice heightened self-awareness, make sure to check out the Emotional Intelligence Cards and the Emotional Thermometer.
While I am currently not accepting new clients, I am excited to announce the upcoming publication of my new book, which will help you uncover your mental model and give you the opportunity to access my proven emotional intelligence-building methods from the comfort of your own home.
The book, which is expected for release in February 2024, will go into greater detail about each of the 8 mental model ‘archetypes’ and help you bypass the negative aspects of your model using targeted EI exercises and self-assessment tools.
Until then, whether you’re a professional looking to enhance your impact, an individual looking to improve your overall well-being, or simply someone who wants to learn more about themselves, I hope you’ll stick around and begin the rewarding, life-changing work of enhancing and leveraging your emotional intelligence.
Saludos,
Laura Aldape, Ph.D.
