We coach leaders to master their emotions and improve their perceptions for superior decision-making capabilities
Affect is the experience of feelings, emotions or moods;
emotions are central to decision-making because
they provide information about our values and goals
Affective Advisors was founded to change the perspective on emotions. Our unique approach focuses on the role of emotions as the root of change. Drawing on the latest research in affective and decision science, we heighten leaders’ awareness of how their emotions inform their thoughts, behaviours, and interactions with others, including their profound impact on those they lead. This awareness allows leaders to use their emotions as a source of strength and resilience.
Our offerings are underpinned by cutting-edge research in affective and decision science from the UK’s leading seats of learning, including the Saïd Business School, Oxford, Warwick Business School and the University College of London. Our approach involves applying this knowledge pragmatically to address real-life challenges that leaders encounter daily.
We help executives master their emotions to cultivate a broader repertoire of behaviours for navigating complex decisions and leading diverse teams more effectively.
We tailor programmes like “Emotions, Heuristics and Decision-Making”, “Emotional Agility”, and “Affective Leadership” for central banks, investment banks, law firms and leading universities.
We enable teams to identify and utilise their individual and collective emotions with greater efficacy to tackle large-scale challenges.
"Trang’s lecture on Emotions, Heuristics and Decision-Making was the most challenging for me. It made me re-evaluate how I can reframe my "go-to" responses as more positive and constructive. This one could be a real game changer when I put it into practice in everyday life."
