Calm the waves

Understanding emotions and the ability of effortful regulation of emotions is an essential skill both personally and related to business. It is a part of the emotional intelligence skill set to recognize, interpret, and respond adequately to emotions of oneself and others. These skills are acquired from early childhood through social learning: feedback from our own vegetative responses and those around us form the way we respond to stressors. Those who are more likely to stay calm under pressure, resolve conflict effectively, and respond to co-workers with empathy (see more on emotional intelligence from Daniel Goleman).

CTW stands for Calm The Waves. You can utilize your own emotion regulation skills to calm down the waves on the screen, reflect your own level of activation, or arousal. The Obimon Electrodermal Activity device shows feedback in real-time about these changes, and offer various challenges to probe your skills.

Engaging in these exercises will help you realize what works best for your own emotional management. Your brain unconsciously learns and this knowledge is automatically enabled when emotion regulation is needed. Points and your well built scenery in your portfolio reflect the emotional capacity you've gained through the process.
