The reality of life is inescapable: You feel and you feel deeply. It’s an integral part of being human. It’s defines who you are and touches every part of your business and your life. Your emotions are a profoundly powerful force.

How you understand, harness and tap into your feelings influences, impacts and shapes everything in your world, personally and professionally.

Whether you feel strung out or deeply satisfied, depressed or happy, second best or super successful, you probably know this has more to do with your internal emotional reality than any external circumstances or events.

So, why is it so hard for us to fully master our internal world when we know that our feelings, thoughts and beliefs directly relate to our success in work and life?

One reason…

You Probably Weren’t Issued a Toolkit for Understanding and Constructively Mastering Your Inner World for Success…
Over a decade and a half ago, psychologist and writer Daniel Goleman demonstrated that one’s emotional intelligence (EQ), not IQ or experience, was the leading factor in determining the success or failure of an individual in business.

So, does it make any sense why – when we know how valuable EQ is for success – so few leaders, entrepreneurs and business people are taught how to be more emotionally fluent or even competent?

When you learn how to unlock and manage your emotions, you become an unstoppable force in business and in life.
When you learn how to recognize and understand the emotions of others, you become a magnetic and inspirational leader whose positivity can cascade into the lives of others.
When you find out how to combine the right “emotional ingredients” for success, you can experience unsurpassed creativity, innovation and authenticity.
It’s Time to Let Your Emotions Represent the Best in You, as Opposed to Getting the Best of You. It’s Time for Them to Work for You Rather than against You.

Join long-time CEO and author Chip Conley for a remarkable five-session online course as he equips you with the key principles of emotional mastery, building upon the decades of experience growing and leading a $250 million boutique hotel company and the 3 years of research for his upcoming book Emotional Equations: Simple Truths to Creating Happiness & Success.

Chip Conley offers the most remarkable example we’ve seen of applying emotional intelligence in business. He has ridden the highs and lows of growing an entrepreneurial business (which he started at the age of 26) and turning it into one of the most successful hotel boutique chains in the U.S.

Chip has mastered bridging heart and soul with solid business principles, and now you have the opportunity to learn from one of the most successful enlightened business leaders to take your business to the next level of success.

A Personal Invitation from Chip Conley
Dear friends,

How many times have you felt like you’ve finally taken one big step forward – ready to enjoy this or that accomplishment – when an unexpected obstacle, new challenge or crushing disappointment seems to pop up out of nowhere and knock you two steps back?

Or, how many times have the emotional ups and downs of the external world thrown you off course and found you struggling just to keep your head above water?

If you’re like me, the answer may be “too many times to count.”

I had thought that being a success in business and life required one to be a super hero – you know, like leaping tall buildings in a single bound with superhuman strength, speed and invulnerability.

As a result, I was unknowingly setting myself up for disappointment and despair in my personal and professional life. That’s because I was giving over control of my life to external factors, circumstances and events – many of which I had no control. When things on the outside were good, I was good. When they were bad, I suffered.

For example, I’ve spent nearly two dozen years being a CEO of a company that I founded and grew to nearly 3,500 employees.

Sounds fantastic, right? Well, in the same decade, my company faced two once-in-a-lifetime downturns. During one of them, I felt like a gladiator and as a result my company tripled in size. During the other, I felt like a prisoner in my own life and my company seriously struggled.

In the hardest of times, the suffering, regret and even anger at the unpredictability and chaos of the external world sometimes felt like too much to handle. As a successful CEO, wasn’t I supposed to be a superhero?

However, it was during those tough times that I learned the truth: Most successful and happy people in business and life aren’t superheroes at all. They’re simply super humans.

What makes a super human? A super human is someone who has learned how to create their own “internal logic” – a mix of cognitive and emotional intelligence – that allows them to develop a sense of calm and comfort, even while the world outside feels utterly unpredictable.

The result is a person who has mastered their emotions and as a result multiplied their successes in every part of their lives. It’s no coincidence that emotional intelligence (EI), not IQ or the amount of experience a person has on their resume, is one of the leading factors in what makes for a highly successful business leader.

So, what’s the benefit of emotional fluency? The more adept you become at understanding how your emotions affect your personal and professional world, the more balanced, centered, and powerful you will become – no matter what the external circumstances are in your life.

In other words, you will learn how to become the super human who enjoys a resounding sense of calm and comfort even during the most turbulent of times.

If you have ever wanted to better understand and connect with the emotional building blocks that influence all parts of who you are and what you do – particularly as they relate to your business – I invite you to join me for this extraordinary journey of self-discovery!

We’ll explore the mystery of our emotions and how we can become a better leader, better lover, better friend, better parent and better human being as a result of becoming more emotionally fluent. This is an investment that will last a lifetime.

Warmly,
Chip

SPECIAL BONUS #1
Using the Art of Enchantment to Change Hearts, Minds and Actions
Bonus Audio Dialogue with Business Guru Guy Kawasaki

Enchantment, as defined by bestselling business guru Guy Kawasaki, is not about manipulating people. It’s about transforming situations and relationships. Enchantment converts hostility into civility, and civility into affinity. It changes the skeptics and cynics into the believers and the undecided into the loyal.

Enchantment can happen during a retail transaction, a high-level corporate negotiation or a Facebook update. And when done right, it’s more powerful than traditional persuasion, influence or marketing techniques.

During this bonus interview with Chip Conley, Guy will explain your goal is not merely to get what you want, but to bring about a voluntary, enduring and delightful change in other people. By enlisting their own goals and desires, by being likable and trustworthy, and by framing a cause that others can embrace, you can change hearts, minds and actions.

In the 1980s, Guy was the chief evangelist for Apple (yes, that was his internal and external title). He’s a serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist and one of the best connected businesspeople in Silicon Valley.

About Chip Conley

In 1987, Chip Conley started his own hospitality company, Joie de Vivre (JDV), and, as CEO for two-dozen years, grew it into the second largest boutique hotel company in the United States. At the age of 26 with no industry experience, Chip transformed a seedy 1950’s “no-tell motel” into the world-renowned Phoenix Hotel, a legendary rock ’n roll destination catering to the likes of David Bowie, Linda Ronstadt and Nirvana. JDV expanded into a collection of over 35 award-winning hotels, restaurants and spas, with more than 3,000 employees – each property with its own unique theme that inspires guests to experience an “identity refreshment” during their stay.

Chip and his company’s time-tested techniques and transformational leadership practices have been featured in every major news outlet including TIME, USA Today, Fortune and The Wall Street Journal.

As the preeminent thought leader at the intersection of psychology and business, and a successful practitioner of emotional intelligence at work, Chip shared his unique prescription for success in his bestselling book, PEAK: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow. Based on noted psychologist Abraham Maslow’s iconic Hierarchy of Needs theory, PEAK illustrates how business’s three key stakeholders – employees, customers and investors – are ultimately motivated by peak experiences that address their higher, unspoken needs.

In his new book, Emotional Equations: Simple Truths for Creating Happiness + Success (Free Press, January 2012), Chip guides readers further down the path from emotional intelligence to emotional fluency – using math as a way to better understand and manage our emotions. Chip’s earlier works include The Rebel Rules: Daring to be Yourself in Business, and Marketing That Matters: 10 Practices to Profit Your Business and Change the World.

Chip is a highly sought after speaker – from TED to INC to GOOGLE. He has been honored with the highest accolade in the American hospitality industry, the coveted ISHC Pioneer award, and was one of four finalists for Hotels magazine’s “Corporate Hotelier of the World” award. The San Francisco Business Times named Chip the Most Innovative CEO – and JDV the “2nd Best Place to Work” – in the entire Bay Area.

After 24 years as JDV’s Chief Executive Officer, Chip now sees himself as a “Chief Emotions Officer” in his role as Strategic Advisor to the company he founded, and in his work as an author and international speaker. A committed philanthropist, he served on the board of Glide Memorial Church for nearly a decade and currently serves on the Burning Man Project and Esalen Institute boards. He created the San Francisco Hotel Hero Awards and founded the city’s Annual Celebrity Pool Toss event, which has raised millions for inner-city youth programs that now thrive in the troubled neighborhood where he launched his first hotel.

Chip received his BA and MBA from Stanford University, and was awarded with an Honorary Doctorate in Psychology from Saybrook Graduate School & Research Center, where he is the school’s 2012 Scholar-Practitioner in residence.
