Mastering Emotional Connection Training through EmC Certification
Emotional Connection or EmC is a leading-edge approach designed to transform disconnects between people that lead to strong working relationships and a positive work environment. It is a powerful tool to use in many distressing situations.
EmC uses evidence-based techniques and is deeply rooted in well-researched neuroscience and attachment theory: emotional connection is what bonds people together.
EmC is as foundational training for coaches, teams, and leaders. The benefit is you learn a map to relationships that will help you to prevent and reverse destructive emotions and toxic interactions from taking over.
EmC is the next level of applied emotional intelligence. When people are emotionally connected, they are much more productive, engaged and enthusiastic about working and addressing challenges together.
Getting your team to work effectively together without derailment in conflicts or setbacks is a universal problem that few leaders know how to resolve. In this course, learn how to apply an integrated, practical, and research-based framework for getting your team back on track in working together that will help you improve the productivity and effectiveness of you and your team by 50-350%.
Dr. Lola Gershfeld draws from years of research by theorists and prominent psychologists in attachment and adult bonding, as well as her teaching and experience in working with teams and boards, to provide a relevant and simple 5-step framework you can apply to any challenging situation and easily apply to your team. With this framework, you will have the skills needed to set challenging goals and meet them, feeling successful and fulfilled at your job.
This course is approved for HR and ICF credit hours.
By completing the Mastering Emotional Connection and Train-the-Trainer Certification, you have the permission to use the materials and the powerpoint presentation to teach and use the EmC process with your clients and employees of your organization.

Discover emotional connection – the science behind it and the attachment-based model. You will discover that when it is managed in the right way, the emotional connection becomes the most powerful motivational force to change the pattern of interaction that works with—not against—our nature.
Learn why emotional connection matters – the business case for the emotional connection. Role play and practical skills in action will help you translate the process of connection for enhancing relationships at all levels in your organization.
Learn to use a map of relationships with a step-by-step, repeatable process that will allow you to be able to work with emotions in a respectful way by identifying triggers and understanding what people need to feel safe and connected.

Lead bonding conversations – using the Cycle of Interaction worksheet which helps manage disconnections effectively and allows you to become a subject matter expert in the emotional connection process.
Increase your emotional accessibility and responsiveness. Expand your awareness, your style of interaction and reaction, understanding emotions, triggers, and needs. Learn to stay emotionally present, creating safety and connection.
Learn tips and ideas for using the process and overcome common challenges in emotional connection pilots and roll-outs. Using the process, create your own plan so that by the end of the session, the implementation plan is done.

The Level Five Executive emotional training course is all about practical ways to connect with your colleagues (It's also incredibly useful for applying to non-work situations). Bottom line - if you are having issues with a boss, peer or report, this is the course for you. It teaches how to think about where the relationship soured. Pinpointing the triggers and then repairing ht e damage to make the relationship work for both or all of you. The presenter/facilitator Dr Lola Gershfeld is excellent as instructor and guide in both lecture format and practical role-playing exercises. The discussion between students on the program is also excellent.
