HARNESS THE POWER OF EMOTIONAL STRENGTH

Success is directly proportional to the emotional strength we build, both in ourselves and in others. While the physical roles we play and the actions we take in life are important, our emotional state is the key to quality of life. In this talk, I show you how to harness your emotional strength and discover ways of improving emotional communication within yourself and with others.

SNAP PRINCIPLES

We all have our own value and the ability to create rewarding relationships with customers, colleagues, friends, and family – but sometimes it’s not that easy. There are, however, four simple steps we can all take to understand and apply our emotional strength – and enable us to get what we desire out of life.

 

I lay out the key components of emotional strength and provide these simple, practical steps that you can use in daily interactions with customers, partners and team members. I call it the SNAP framework:

  • Set Goals
  • Notice Strengths
  • Accept Accountability 
  • Practice Persistence 

Developing greater emotional strength by using the SNAP framework helps people reach higher and farther than with their physical strengths alone.

HOW TO CREATE SUCCESSFUL CONNECTIONS

We have so many routes to connect with people. How do we know who to listen to? Who to trust? In the game of life, we are ultimately responsible for who we let in and who we filter out. During this talk, we’ll identify the inner circles in the three phases of life and I’ll show you how to better build strong and successful connections.
