At our May luncheon, Christina Trevino will be talking about Enlightened Leadership.

This is a luncheon you do not want to miss if you are looking to:

  • Be a more authentic and powerful leader
  • Identify habits that get in the way of great leadership
  • Step into leadership roles

Christina TrevinoChristina Trevino is a visionary educator. She draws from her years of experience in the academic and professional world and most importantly her experience in residential treatment with youth. Those experiences led her to pursue her passion, resulting in opening her own businesses, Life-Purpose Consulting and Emotion Leadership Enterprises (ELE). ELE focuses on professional and personal leadership training and coaching. Emotion Leadership is a critical skillset to accurately identify and express emotions for improved leadership, impacting work, relationships, health and wellness.

We recently featured Christina Trevino in our member spotlight and you can learn more about her here.

It is important for good leaders to express emotions.

Good leaders explore their emotions to connect more honestly and authentically with themselves, which in turn helps them connect more authentically with others. Additionally, good leaders need clarity to make good decisions. Clarity is easiest when you are calm, so great leaders process through their emotions and return to calm for the clarity they need to make good decisions.

Emotions and physical health are linked. Suppressed emotions are stored in the mind and in the body. When you discover how you can constructively express your emotions, you not only improve your relationships with others but you ultimately release your emotions and improve your mental, emotional and physical health.

Women have particular emotion leadership challenges.

The two most common challenges for women, which Christina often sees, are the two extreme versions of judging themselves and others by either being too critical or too kind – they either become a bully or become too nice.

Women especially need to understand the purpose of emotions and need to be comfortable with all of them. Anger, for example, is one emotion, women particularly need to understand and be comfortable with, both when it is their own and when experiencing anger in others.

After attending this luncheon you will:

  • Know the difference between a leader and an enlightened leader
  • Identify the F words that destroy leadership
  • Learn how to use curiosity to improve your leadership at every level
