Imagine if your emotions could predict your organization’s success. Research supports the radical idea that since emotions inform our thoughts, decisions and actions, we can actually benefit from paying attention to them. Instead of emotions being a problem to eliminate, we can learn to view exhaustion, fear, anger and impatience as informants. The R.A.I.N. Tool is an easy-to-remember guide for tapping into the power of emotional awareness. With practice, you will gain a new appreciation for the full range of emotions and a new leadership tool for compassion and flexibility. Karen Newton walks through this tool in her presentation, Inside Out at Work.
