Current Context 

As part of the leadership development for the senior leaders and clinical leaders within the trust they have various events with external speakers to support different exploration of a particular subject. The event supported by Natures Coaching was “influencing, negotiation and persuading” 

The Powers of Jedi Persuasion – title of the talk 

An interactive session exploring the impact of emotions within an influencing situation. How do emotions enter the room for you and others, what happens when we aren’t in tune with how we feel, how we can help others explore their emotions and feeling about the situation and the impact of not doing this. Using the parallel of how Jedi knights understand their own emotions and how they learn to manage these emotions constructively. 

Also bringing in the elements of Emotional Intelligence within the Influencing situation. 

Impact and feedback 

“Exploring emotions is hard but I understand now the importance of doing this”

“You’ve just reminded me why the last influencing situation I was in with a team didn’t work”

“I really liked the way you feedback to the group what you saw re the emotions exercise and how that then stimulated a deeper discussion around why we don’t do this”
