| Self-awareness is vital for business leaders and faculty who are classroom and research leaders. Subtle and strong emotions arise in business settings, classrooms, research and in dialogue with others. However, as part of our work in academia or business we are expected to be rational and emotions are not acknowledged or addressed in a meaningful way. Further, faculty and business leaders’ emotional states influence students’ and employees’ learning effectiveness and performance. Research tells us that faculty and business leaders’ emotions and self-awareness are important in: relationships; motivation; learning; performance, and are at the root of what we value. Therefore, it behooves faculty and business leaders to learn how to work with our inner experience and emotions by developing our self-awareness individually and in group settings. This not only supports learning but also models positive leadership abilities in students who ultimately will be business and community leaders. The purpose and expected outcome of this PDW is to inform and advance participants’ skill in developing self- awareness around working with emotions by modelling behavior in a safe group setting that assists participants in managing emotion laden situations in academic life. Developing and modelling this skill in classrooms will influence students to apply it as leaders in business, thereby improving the lives of students now, with a trickle-down effect to the people that they work with in their future organizations. |
