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 goes beyond traditional methods. Instead we focus 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 equip executives with the tools to master their emotions, enabling them to cultivate a broad repertoire of behaviours suited for navigating complex and potentially disruptive decisions as well as leading diverse teams with greater efficacy.
We customise programmes such as “Emotions, Heuristics and Decision-Making”, “Affective Leadership”, "Emotional Ambidexterity”, and “Navigating Cultural Differences” for central banks, investment banks, law firms and leading universities.
We enable teams to identify and utilise their individual and collective emotions more adeptly to navigate complex decisions and tackle large-scale challenges more effectively.
"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."
