MasterClass #1
The Problem with Emotional Intelligence and How to Fix It
In today's dynamic corporate landscape, the significance of Emotional Intelligence (EI or EQ) cannot be overstated.
Studies have shown that high EI leaders are better able to manage their moods, surmount obstacles, communicate with impact, and resolve conflicts. Hoping to cash in on this promise, 80% of the Fortune 500 have integrated EI into their leadership development programs.
Unfortunately, the results of these training programs have not lived up to the promise. While training employees in El has been shown to enhance people’s ability to manage their behavioral responses to negative emotions, there's little evidence that EI training programs actually improve employee performance.
Recent research has shed light on the underlying issue: the prevailing theories of emotion, upon which traditional EI trainings are based, are incorrect.
“Charles has cracked the code on emotions and therefore emotional intelligence.”
Given this crucial finding, we are excited to bring you a 2-hour MasterClass to revolutionize your understanding of emotion and EI. In it, you’ll learn:
A paradigm-shifting theory of how emotions are generated and what they call on you to do.
Why learning to interpret emotion through this new paradigm instantly raises people’s Emotional Intelligence - as measured by their capacity to make sound decisions under pressure, resolve conflict, and lead others.
Why attempting to “manage” negative emotions (e.g., through mindfulness or cognitive reappraisal) is counterproductive - and what to do instead.
To make the most of the experiential portion of this class, please come prepared to apply this game-changing theory to an emotionally challenging situation.
MasterClass #2
Mastering your Negative Emotions
Left unchecked, negative emotions lead to irrational decisions and regrettable behavior. Hence, if we want to succeed in life, we must learn to “regulate” our negative emotions. Or, at least that’s what many of us have come to believe.
But what if the real reason we make irrational decisions and engage in regrettable behavior is because we are misinterpreting what our negative emotions are trying to tell us? What if, when correctly interpreted, negative emotions lead to sound decisions, positive behaviors, and a state of emotional well-being?
In this 2-hour MasterClass, you’ll learn how to interpret your negative emotions correctly and then use this information to make better decisions and upscale your behavior. You’ll learn why “regulating” your negative emotions (for example, through mindfulness or cognitive reappraisal) is not only unnecessary but counterproductive.
To get the most out of this MasterClass, please come prepared to apply what you’re learning to a relationship or situation in which you are struggling with one or more negative emotions.
MasterClass #3

In this 2-hour MasterClass, you’ll learn:
Why telling your client to count to 10 or breathe through their negative emotions is ultimately counterproductive - and what to do instead.

A technique, based on this new theory, for getting your client to think clearly and in alignment with their values - even when they are experiencing strong emotions.
You’ll emerge from this MasterClass with a 5-Step Method you can use to guide your client from a state of emotional distress to clear and decisive action.
