Making Your Emotions Work For You

A 90-minute class about your most brilliant work asset: Your empathic genius

Do challenging emotions get in your way of promoting yourself, taking risks, and boosting your online visibility? Does anxiety dampen the joy you feel about building your coaching or consulting business? 

What if you realized that your emotions, which feel like stumbling blocks, are one of your biggest assets?

Because that's exactly what they are. Emotions are a part of our human intelligence that evolved long before our logic and language abilities. They’re nonverbal messages from our 24/7 internal guidance system called our empathic intelligence. Emotions are essential for navigating complexities of life, and are especially useful to entrepreneurs engaged in coaching, consulting, and teaching. In this class, you'll learn to partner effectively with your emotions. With a few simple techniques, you'll understand exactly how to use your emotions to become the empathic leader you’re meant to be.  Your confidence will skyrocket!

Program Description


Do you feel anxiety in the pit of your stomach as you open Zoom for a client discovery call?

Do you worry that you might hear something from a client that you won't be able to bear?

Do you struggle with self-doubt, wondering whether you'll be able to help clients solve their problems or realize their dreams?

Overwhelming emotions like fear, self-doubt, and anger can sap all the fun out of this wonderful career path you chose. Plus, these emotions can give off a self-protective vibe that’s going to drive your prospective clients elsewhere.

But what if your emotions are one of your best tools for navigating the complicated demands of coaching? Your emotional sensitivity could become a great asset to you. Not just as a coach or doula, but as an entrepreneur and leader.

Our emotions come from a sophisticated part of our intelligence that's critical to our ability to survive, live in community, and thrive. Our empathic intelligence constantly monitors our external and internal environment for changes that require our attention. It detects and responds to important information at a pace that far exceeds our logical intelligence.

Once you learn how to "hear" and interpret your emotions, you've tapped into a treasure trove of information that will grow your skills as a practitioner and a business owner.

At the end of this 90-minute class, you'll know exactly how to take advantage of your emotions and improve your ability to rock your practice and your business

Certified End-of-Life Doula School of Accompanying the Dying

Meet Cindy Olney

I'm a grief educator and coach who helps adult children, spouses/ significant others, and other family members reconcile loss or anticipated loss of a loved one.

My clients are facing the most emotionally vulnerable situations you can imagine. For a long time, my insecurity about my role held me back. I wondered it I'd personally be able to bear their pain. I doubted my ability to make a difference to those facing unbelievable losses.

The practices and tools I share in this class are ones I developed to navigate the coaching niche I chose. They're also the foundational skills I teach all of my clients.

These skills are not specific to loss. They work when you're anxious about your future, facing conflict at work, coping with shame, or struggling with anger, hatred, or envy. Once you learn a few simple practices for leaning into your emotions and working with them, they stop being stumbling blocks. They start being your best friends as you navigate life.

A little more about me

I have a PhD in educational psychology, with an emphasis in learning and development, and have promoted learning and self-empowerment throughout my career. I'm a certified life coach through Martha Beck’s Wayfinder Coach Training and an end-of-life doula, through the School to Accompany the Dying.


What others say about Shadowlands Emotions Training

"[Cindy] helped me understand that I was trying to think my way out of grief. I learned that the "emotional" trauma of the loss was what had me living in a fog. Once I understood that, she suggested strategies that helped me learn to move ahead more effectively."
