EXECUTIVE TRAINING

”Iida’s training on emotional intelligence opened a "door of awareness" for myself and for the people around me, helping me to understand the main patterns through which we handle our emotions and providing me with ways to recognize them in daily interactions, eventually allowing me to adapt my behavior or communication to reach a better level of mutual understanding / collaboration at work and in life.”

“Iida has true wisdom of the heart. She has exceptional skill in seeing people holistically and tuning into their world. Iida’s thinking combines a deep belief in people’s capabilities and a systems-aware research-based approach. Iida coaches with both warmth and directness, in a way that sparks change. She has a way of opening new ways to look at difficult subjects which facilitates the personal growth of those she coaches. If I had to describe Iida in a few words they would be loving, clear, present and wise.”

  • How psychological safety allows for creative tension that births new ideas and innovation
  • Current strengths and challenge regarding psychological safety in the company/your executive team
  • How to take into account relational and emotional needs in everyday interactions and communication
"Iida's training day was excellent, exciting, professional, fact-based and at the same time entertaining, thanks to Iida's personality. Like I mentioned it was and is very important to discuss these topics with the whole group and bringing these subjects into collective awareness. I would like to add how well this day created a sense of "we" and strengthened a feeling of belonging while at the same time being very informative and to the point."
"Big thank you for the very sobering training. Got me to reflect on myself. Iida could integrate theory and science but bring it down to the everyday. Her way of presenting is very natural and energizing. She was not too attached to her own material, but lived with us in the moment and directed the conversation well. Very good at answering questions and creating discussion. Excellent!"
"I think Iida's training had theory and practice in great balance. She is a stellar expert in the topic and can answer questions very deeply. Iida is a magnetic and very knowledgeable presenter that gripped all our attention and led us into interesting conversations. Iida's part was especially good because the subjects were brought into everyday life situations even though it was all backed by her scientific knowledge."
"The trainer knows the subject to the point I wanna know if she offers psychotherapy too. It is triggering me in a positive way and gives me courage to face the emotions that I learned to dismiss and not acknowledge. For me the most moving was becoming aware of different types of emotions, knowing the granularity of it, accessing emotions I set aside and welcome those."
"The trainer was very present, good at describing/talking about the topics and keeping the session interesting and interactive. Created a very safe space.”
"The trainer was very experienced, well-spoken and professional. The training was super interesting and sparked many thoughts! Amazing session, thank you!"
"Iida was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and emphatic. I feel like this one session alone was worth 10 sessions of therapy in developing self-awareness🙂 This was really useful, and I would hope this kind of training would be arranged when people join the company. Would help both juniors and seniors working in a supervisor role."
"I enjoyed Iida's training a lot. She approached this important theme holistically and in a way that gave insight both to my work life and life as a whole. It was great that we could discuss together and Iida could weave our perspectives into the whole. She exuded expertise. You could feel that she knows what she is talking about - both through her education, but also through experience."
"The trainer was excellent. I learned a lot of new things and got broad insight into the subject. Her own examples were very eye-opening. A very timely and useful subject. I will benefit form this a lot for both my work and personal life "
"The trainer was very skilled, encouraging and easy to approach. She challenged us, yet also keeping the atmosphere very inviting and safe."
"I got a lot of concrete tools on how to process my own emotions at work and overall in life. I enjoyed the fact that she brought so much content, but was also able to create a sense of no rush and answer peoples questions in depth."
"Approachable and polished. Very friendly, open, attentive to discussion in the room, and knowledgeable. The training was well structured, it allowed for consideration while promoting individuals to ponder the practical applications within the self. "
"Very professional, knowledgeable and great presentation skills. Overall great structure in the session, thanks! Psychological context to challenges that I’ve personally been dealing with in my life recently. Tools to improve. Discussions. "
"The trainer was very motivated, inspirational, understanding our questions and responding to those well. Understanding more of what I do and how to process those feelings instead of avoiding."
