To make an impact on another person, you need both your ratio and your emotion. In our brain, these cannot be disconnected from each other. Therefore, you do not achieve impact just by acting more ‘rationally’, but also by being connected to your own emotions and behaviour, and by adapting these to the context in which you find yourself. The more appropriately you can respond to the context, the faster the connection with the other and the greater your impact will be.
Even though we are responsible for our own emotions, we are not always aware of how they influence our own behaviour. Which emotion do we use where and when? And do we do this consciously or rather on automatic pilot?

How we deal with our emotions is an essential part of ‘emotional intelligence’ (EQ). A concept that is getting more and more attention these days, but what does it mean exactly? And how exactly does it work in our brain? You will discover this in this inspiration session. You will learn how you can gain more insight into your emotions so you can evolve towards self-regulation in five steps. Besides the theory, you will also receive a lot of practical tips & tricks which you can put to work immediately.
1. My brain as a prediction machine
So know that your brain is constantly making predictions about the world around you and that this determines your understanding of and behavior in the world.
2. Hear, See, Feel & Smell

3. Energy and feeling
Besides your senses, your feelings and the amount of energy you have (not) available determine how your brain makes predictions and how you can regulate your emotions.
4. 1 + 1 = 3: your internal model
Add up everything you have ever heard, seen, learned and experienced and you obtain your internal model: the foundation from which your brain predicts the world around you.
