When emotions start influencing how you lead.
We all experience frustration, anger and pressure at work.
The challenge for leaders is what happens next.
You might react before you've had time to think. Carry frustration from one situation into the next.
Or notice that your emotional response is beginning to affect the people around you.
Emotional Stability isn't about suppressing emotion. It's about managing your response so you can continue to lead effectively.
What we Will explore
Recognising your triggers
Identify the situations and behaviours that are most likely to trigger a strong emotional response.
Creating The Pause
Explore practical ways to create space between what happens and how you respond.
Regaining Perspective
Learn how to step back, think more clearly and avoid letting emotion drive your decisions.
choosing your response
Apply practical techniques to respond constructively while still dealing with the issue in front of you.
How the Leadership Lab Works
This isn't a webinar or a lecture. You'll work with real situations, explore practical techniques and apply what you learn to your own leadership.
Bring a real challenge → Explore & practise → Apply it to your leadership

Your Leadership Lab Facilitator
Nigel McPolin
I'm an Occupational Psychologist and founder of Etimes2. For more than 25 years, I've worked with leaders and organisations to develop the skills and behaviours that help people lead effectively.
I developed the Resilient Leader framework from that work and from a simple observation: leadership becomes much more difficult when we're under pressure, dealing with uncertainty or when things simply aren't going to plan.
My Leadership Labs are practical and highly interactive. We'll work with real situations, explore the psychology behind our responses and identify practical ways to respond more effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some Common Objections You May Have Are Already Answered
What do you mean by Emotional Stability?
Emotional Stability is the ability to manage your emotional response when things become difficult, frustrating or uncertain. It isn't about suppressing emotion. It's about being able to think clearly and choose how you respond.
Is this about staying calm all the time?
No. Strong emotions are a normal part of working life. The aim isn't to eliminate them, but to recognise what is happening and manage your response so that emotion doesn't take over your thinking, decisions or behaviour.
Is this Leadership Lab only for managers?
No. The Lab is particularly relevant for leaders and managers because their emotional responses can influence the people around them, but it is equally useful for professionals and business owners who want to respond more effectively when situations become difficult.
What happens during the two hours?
This is an interactive Leadership Lab rather than a webinar. There will be short inputs from me, practical exercises, discussion and opportunities to apply the ideas to situations you experience in your own working life.
Do I need to share personal experiences with the group?
No. You decide what you are comfortable discussing. You'll have opportunities to reflect on your own situations and learn from the discussion without having to share anything you would prefer to keep private.
