    Inoculating Your Leaders Against the Mind-Heart Disconnection Virus



    Charles M. Jones

    A previously unrecognized cognitive-emotional virus is spreading through organizations, impairing leadership at every level. This virus severs the vital link between mind and heart—diminishing a leader’s ability to think rationally and empathize compassionately.

    When this virus takes hold, it impairs critical functions like decision-making, psychological safety, conflict resolution, and accountability. Leaders become reactive, avoidant, emotionally distant, and less effective at navigating complex interpersonal dynamics. The cost to culture and performance is profound.

      Session Description

      In this engaging 60-minute session, you’ll learn a powerful coaching technique you can use to help leaders free themselves from the virus infecting their thinking and behavior. You’ll experience this technique firsthand and explore its application to your own leadership and the leaders you support.

      Learning Objectives

      • Recognize when this virus is undermining leadership effectiveness.
      • Learn a powerful technique for reconnecting mind to heart.
      • Use this technique to address a current situation in which you're exhibiting symptoms of the virus.

      Bonus:  Attendees will receive access to an online diagnostic tool they can use to assess the virus's impact on their team and receive targeted eradication strategies.

      About the Speaker

      Charles M. Jones is a behavioral scientist and creator of Emotional Response-Ability® - a breakthrough technique for improving metacognition and empathy while reducing stress, taming reactivity, eliminating negativity, and preempting procrastination.

      Charles coaches senior executives, emerging leaders, corporate teams, other coaches, and entrepreneurs on the principles and practice of Emotional Response-Ability®.  He is the co-author of "Emotional Intelligence for Stress-free Leadership" and a chapter of Fielding University's "Innovations in Leadership Coaching," providing practical tools and methodology for raising emotional intelligence based on his groundbreaking research.
