Each component of life (work, family, personal, social) claim a fair share of attention from us and often , we yield to one at the cost of other just to tide over. This creates imbalance in life and causes emotions in us which, as we know, not only regulate our mood, behavior and attitude, but also affect our performance, health and well being. Therefore, reevaluating the role of emotions in life and rechanneling them from causing "conflict" to promote "cooperation" may be the essence in a balanced life. For the same reason, selecting "Emotional Intelligence" as a tool may be eminently suitable for the purpose. This workshop is specifically designed for the participants to:

1. understand the causes of work-life imbalance;
2. "feel" the urge for change from "self-discovery"
3. get involved in experiential exercises which may help them to manage stress effectively, enjoy while working together, experience the positive power of a team, realize the importance of communication, regulate the mind to avoid a crisis and have a "feel" of peaceful serenity for healthy living.

At the end of the day, key learning will be distilled out to frame an "Action Plan" which will help them to monitor "self-progress" periodically.

The workshop follows an experiential route and is delivered through liberal usage of activities, videos, exercises, metaphors and stories which targets the "emotional" mind.
