There are different “display rules” for men and women and all these issues deprive women (and men) of being able to display and adaptively deploy a full range of emotions including angerHe will share with us: What emotions are and what they are “designed” to do (the Emotions Cycle and the Emotions as Tools Model)How one can strategically deploy their emotions to improve their own life (personal and work).How one can use this information to improve their relationships with others.Ed Daube, Ph.D., The Emotions Doctor, is the author of two books, both of which deal with emotions and are Amazon Best Sellers.Dr. Daube did not really learn to strategically interact with his emotions until he was an adult in graduate school working on his Ph.D. in Psychology.

Since retiring, he has been a featured guest on numerous podcasts and has published articles on LinkedIn and other websites.His specialty is making complex subjects understandable and his books and blog are for anyone who feels controlled by their emotions or who has to deal with another person whose emotions control them.Learn more at www.theemotionsdoctor.com
