Introducing Emotional Response-Ability®
Emotional Response-Ability® (ERA) is a breakthrough framework for transforming stress into creativity, conflict into collaboration, and victimhood into ownership. Founded on the revolutionary insight that emotions originate in subconscious needs, ERA equips leaders to harness every emotion to increase their effectiveness.
When equipped with this insight, leaders treat negative emotions as calls to improve their performance by getting on track to meet a need or by changing or dropping this need. Likewise, positive emotions call on the leader to stay on track until they’ve met the underlying need.
This simple shift in perspective produces dramatic improvements in the leader’s effectiveness.
In contrast to other approaches—such as Emotional Intelligence, Positive Psychology, Positive Intelligence, Getting to Yes, Conscious Leadership, Nonviolent Communication, and Adaptive Leadership—which target the leader’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior, ERA targets the subconscious needs driving the leader’s thoughts, emotions, and behavior. ERA identifies root causes, enabling leaders to address the underlying need, resulting in faster and more complete resolution of stress, conflict, and resistance to change.
Organizations that adopt ERA report immediate gains in productivity, innovation, adaptability, and employee well-being. It’s leadership development, team building, and culture transformation—all in one easy-to-learn framework.
